With the EU Battery Regulation approaching enforcement, Battery Passports are becoming a mandatory digital element for batteries placed on the European market. Their purpose is to provide structured and reliable information on aspects such as battery origin, composition, carbon footprint, and lifecycle data. Increased transparency along the value chain is a key regulatory objective, supporting responsible production, use, and ultimately more informed end‑of‑life decisions.

This presentation introduces the Battery Passport from a regulatory and technical perspective, outlining the key requirements defined by the EU Battery Regulation and their implications for manufacturers, operators, and downstream stakeholders. It highlights how standardized and interoperable digital solutions are essential to manage compliance, ensure data consistency across organizational boundaries, and enable controlled access to relevant information.
