Industry Guidance on Battery Passport Data Fields
Under the EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, the Battery Passport will provide an electronic record for each individual battery, giving access to key information throughout its lifecycle.
From 18 February 2027, Battery Passports will be mandatory for all:
🔹 Light means of transport (LMT) batteries
🔹 Industrial batteries with a capacity above 2 kWh
🔹 Electric vehicle (EV) batteries
While the Regulation sets out the information that must be included, differences in how individual data points are interpreted and expressed could lead to inconsistencies and make battery passports difficult to compare.
To address this challenge, EUROBAT and Energy Storage Europe have jointly developed the Industry Guidance on Battery Passport Data Fields.
The guidance aims to:
✅ Help manufacturers and other economic operators interpret Battery Passport data requirements consistently.
✅ Promote more harmonised and comparable data across the battery industry.
✅ Support the timely and successful implementation of the Battery Passport ahead of the February 2027 deadline.
Whether you are a manufacturer or another economic operator in the battery value chain, this guidance is designed to help you prepare for the upcoming requirements.
