EU Battery Passport for Industrial Battery and Energy Storage Manufacturers
UPS systems, grid-scale storage, telecom backup, industrial equipment. Batteries above 2 kWh require a machine-readable passport from February 18, 2027. 32 data points are mandatory at that date.
Designed for: UPS manufacturers, energy storage system integrators, telecom infrastructure providers, industrial equipment OEMs

What is mandatory at February 2027: 32 data points
The Regulation does not require a specific test standard. Harmonised standards give a presumption of conformity; the first, EN 18060:2025 on EV battery performance and durability, was published by Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/2048 on 16 September 2026.
Point 1: public
25Publicly accessible information relating to the battery model, plus the unique identifier and the identity of the operator responsible for the passport (Article 77(3)). Point 1(a) incorporates Part A of Annex VI by reference, which is where twelve of these come from. Also covers renewable content, voltage, power capability, internal resistance, the EU declaration of conformity and waste battery information; expected lifetime and round trip efficiency apply only to some industrial batteries.
Point 2: legitimate interest
5Battery model information accessible only to persons with a legitimate interest and the Commission: detailed cathode, anode and electrolyte composition, component part numbers, sources for replacement spares, dismantling information and safety measures.
Point 3: authorities
1Accessible only to notified bodies, market surveillance authorities and the Commission: the results of test reports proving compliance with the Regulation or with any act adopted under it.
Point 4: individual battery
1Information and data relating to an individual battery, accessible only to persons with a legitimate interest: performance and durability parameters under Article 10(1), state of health under Article 14, battery status, and data resulting from use.
The four points of Annex XIII are access tiers, not subject groupings. A further 12 data points listed in Annex XIII are marked not to be filled or displayed for this category by the Commission guidance: some are deferred past February 2027, some repeat data required elsewhere, and some do not apply to this battery category.
How AI handles your documentation
Upload your existing documents. AI reads each one, identifies compliance-relevant data and proposes values for the matching Annex XIII fields, each with a High, Medium or Low confidence rating, for your team to approve.
- IEC 62619 test reports
- UL 1973 stationary storage safety certificates
- Grid code compliance documentation
- Environmental impact assessments
- Bills of Materials (modular/rack systems)
- Extended warranty and service life documentation
- REACH declarations for substances present in the battery
AI insight: Industrial batteries often come in modular configurations. A rack-mounted system may contain multiple modules, each requiring component-level data. The platform handles recursive BOM structures.
Your compliance timeline
Map your product portfolio. Identify which products exceed the 2 kWh threshold.
Upload IEC 62619 and UL 1973 test reports. AI extracts safety and performance data.
Collect cell supplier data. Map modular system hierarchies (rack → module → cell).
Supply chain due diligence. Carbon footprint calculations for extended lifecycle systems.
The Commission is required to have established the DPP registry by 19 July 2026 under Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1781.
Mandatory date. Every industrial battery above 2 kWh placed on the EU market or put into service from this date must have a battery passport (Article 77(1)).
What compliance costs
Compliance Consultancy
€40,000–€150,000 implementation. Complex modular systems increase scope.
Enterprise Platform
€100,000–€300,000/year. Includes ERP integration. For companies with 500+ SKUs.
Traceable
Free trial. Then from €15 per published passport, dropping at volume. API access for ERP integration comes with Scale and above; AI document extraction is billed separately, based on the number of documents processed.
Industrial battery companies with complex ERP environments may benefit from API integration (available on the Scale plan) for automated passport generation.
Supply chain data requirements
Cells
Chemistry varies widely: NMC, LFP, lead-acid, sodium-ion. Each has different data requirements and recycled content benchmarks.
BMS
State of health monitoring. Extended lifecycle parameters. Communication protocols for grid integration.
Thermal Management
Cooling system specifications. Operating temperature range. Safety thresholds for stationary installation.
Module/Rack Assembly
Module-to-rack hierarchy. Series/parallel configurations. Each module may need sub-passport data.
Power Electronics
Inverter and converter specs. Grid connection parameters. Relevant for system-level compliance.
Suppliers sign in to the supplier portal with a one-time email code, answer your structured data requests and upload certificates. Each answer goes only to the manufacturer that asked for it.
Built on large language models. Reads your documents and proposes structured data with a High, Medium or Low confidence rating. Auditable.
On Scale and above, certification bodies review and attest your battery records in the Verifier portal. Tamper-evident audit trail.
The same platform handles EU Battery Regulation passports and textile passports. One account covers both.
