The EU Battery Regulation requires a Digital Battery Passport for all industrial, EV and LMT batteries sold in the EU from 2027. AuraDPP helps you create compliant battery passports with QR codes.
The EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542) requires manufacturers and importers to create a Digital Battery Passport — a digital record accessible via QR code that contains detailed information about the battery.
The battery passport must include: battery composition, carbon footprint, performance data, state of health, and end-of-life handling instructions.
It is part of the broader EU Digital Product Passport initiative under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
Battery Composition
Materials, chemicals, and hazardous substances used in the battery
Carbon Footprint

An EU Battery Passport is a digital record required under EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542. It contains information about the battery's composition, carbon footprint, performance, and end-of-life handling. It is accessed via a QR code on the battery.
The EU Battery Passport is required for industrial batteries (≥2kWh) and EV batteries from February 18, 2027. LMT batteries follow later. Portable batteries have different requirements.
The Battery Passport is a specific type of Digital Product Passport (DPP) under the EU's ESPR framework. AuraDPP supports both general DPPs and battery-specific passports.
