EU Battery Passport: requirements and deadline
From 18 February 2027, EV batteries, light-means-of-transport (LMT) batteries and industrial batteries with a capacity above 2 kWh placed on the EU market must have a digital battery passport, accessible via a QR code.
Who is responsible
The economic operator placing the battery on the EU market — typically the manufacturer or importer — is responsible for ensuring the passport is accurate, complete, accessible and kept up to date.
What's typically covered
Battery identity and chemistry, performance and durability (rated capacity, expected lifetime), carbon footprint declaration, recycled content of key materials, supply-chain due diligence, and end-of-life information such as removability and where to recycle. Exact field-level detail depends on the Commission's implementing acts on the battery passport data model.
