EU Battery Passport
FRDM empowers manufacturers, importers, and supply chain partners to meet these complex requirements and turn compliance into a competitive advantage.
Understanding the Directive
In force since August 2023, the EU Battery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542) is the first global framework regulating the entire lifecycle of batteries—from raw material sourcing to end-of-life recovery.It mandates that batteries placed on the
EU market must:
- Meet carbon footprint transparency standards
- Comply with strict supply chain due diligence requirements (Articles 49–52)
- Include digital product passports (DPPs) by February 18, 2027 for:
- Electric vehicle (EV) batteries
- Light means of transport (LMT) batteries
- Industrial batteries with capacity >2 kWh
- Electric vehicle (EV) batteries
What Is a Battery Passport?
A battery passport is a digital record that stores lifecycle data about a battery’s:
- Composition and raw materials
- Carbon footprint
- Performance and durability
- Circularity and end-of-life processes
- Supply chain due diligence
It supports the EU’s twin transition to a circular and digital economy and applies to:
- EV batteries
- Light means of transport (e-bikes, scooters)
- Industrial batteries over 2 kWh
