EU Battery Passport software, built on Regulation 2023/1542
Every EV, LMT and industrial battery over 2 kWh placed on the EU market needs a digital battery passport from 18 February 2027. dpp.gs issues one per physical unit — with live State of Health, carbon-footprint class, supply-chain due diligence and disassembly instructions — behind a single GS1 Digital Link QR code.
What the EU Battery Regulation requires
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 replaces the old Battery Directive and introduces the first mandatory digital product passport in EU law. From 18 February 2027 every LMT battery, industrial battery above 2 kWh and EV battery must carry a passport reachable from a QR code on the battery itself.
The passport must expose, among other things: a unique per-unit identifier, battery chemistry and composition, carbon footprint with a performance class, recycled content of cobalt, lithium, nickel and lead, supply-chain due-diligence reporting (Articles 47–53), State of Health and expected lifetime for stationary and EV batteries (Article 14), and disassembly / removability information (Annex XIII). dpp.gs models every one of these as a structured field, not a PDF attachment.
What dpp.gs gives you for batteries
Per-unit passport
A unique identifier per physical cell or pack (ISO/IEC 15459) — not just per model — so each battery has its own lifecycle record.
Live SoH via BMS API
A Bearer-token endpoint feeds real-time State of Health, cycle count and energy throughput straight from the battery management system (Article 14).
Carbon footprint class
A–G class computed automatically from kg CO₂e/kWh, per battery category (EV / industrial / LMT / portable / SLI).
Due diligence
Per-substance audits for cobalt, lithium, nickel and graphite with OECD compliance and CAHRAS risk flags (Articles 47–53).
Recycled content
Recovery % per substance with auditor, methodology and issue/expiry dates (Article 8).
Disassembly & removability
Step-by-step disassembly with tools, fasteners and warnings, plus user/professional removability (Annex XIII, Article 11).
Live EV battery passport
VoltCore VC-75E — a 75 kWh NMC 811 EV pack with 10 materials, 5 substances, carbon-footprint class, due diligence and a per-unit SoH endpoint.
Frequently asked questions
When is the EU battery passport mandatory?
For LMT batteries, industrial batteries above 2 kWh and EV batteries, the digital battery passport applies from 18 February 2027 under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. dpp.gs lets you build and test passports today so you are ready before the deadline.
Does each battery need its own passport, or one per model?
The regulation requires information at the level of the individual battery, including a unique identifier and per-unit data such as State of Health. dpp.gs supports both a model-level passport and serialized per-unit passports with their own lifecycle records.
How does the State of Health (SoH) data get in?
dpp.gs exposes a Bearer-token BMS API endpoint. Your battery management system (or fleet platform) posts SoH, cycle count and energy throughput, and the passport reflects the live value — no manual re-entry.
Is the carbon footprint class calculated for me?
Yes. You enter kg CO₂e/kWh and the product category; dpp.gs assigns the A–G performance class automatically using the Battery Regulation thresholds for that category.
What does the QR code link to?
A GS1 Digital Link URL (https://dpp.gs/01/{GTIN}). The same identifier works as a consumer QR code and a GS1 DataMatrix, and resolves to the public passport — no proprietary app required.
