What EU Digital Battery Passport requires
Compliance with Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 mandates the creation of a unique Digital Battery Passport for specific battery categories placed on the market. This requirement applies if a product is an industrial, electric vehicle, or light means of transport (LMT) battery where `is_industrial_ev_or_lmt_battery` is true, and its capacity meets the `battery_capacity_kwh_min` of 2 kWh. Article 77 stipulates that each passport must be accessible through a `qr_code_permanently_affixed` to the unit, as detailed under labeling rules in Article 13. Economic operators are obligated to ensure `carbon_footprint_calculated_and_declared` information is available, fulfilling Article 7 provisions, while `recycled_content_percentages_documented` must align with directives from Article 8. Furthermore, a `supply_chain_due_diligence_active` policy is essential for responsible sourcing verification. The passport’s technical design and operation, governed by Article 78, demand a secure, interoperable system where `decentralized_data_registry_compliant` architecture is paramount. For operational transparency, `state_of_health_and_durability_metrics_live` data must be maintained and accessible. To protect sensitive information, robust `role_based_access_controls_implemented` are required, granting differential permissions to end-users, economic operators, and authorities. Crucially, the system architecture must embody data protection by design and default, enforcing principles like `gdpr_data_minimization_enforced` per Article 25 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Finally, comprehensive `end_of_life_dismantling_instructions_present` supports circular economy objectives by facilitating safe removal and recycling.
