Sector rules
Batteries (electric vehicle, industrial over 2 kWh, light means of transport)
- Rule
- EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542
- What it means
- These batteries need a digital battery passport reached through a QR code. Other batteries also need QR-code labelling under the regulation's labelling rules, but not a full passport.
- What to do now
- Confirm which of your batteries fall into the passport categories.
- Collect chemistry, composition, carbon footprint and due diligence data from cell and material suppliers.
- Plan the unique identifier and QR code placement, and where the passport will be hosted for its whole life.
