EU Battery Regulation
EU Regulation 2023/1542 mandates Digital Battery Passports for all industrial, EV, and LMT batteries placed on the European market. ReadyPass ensures full compliance from day one.
Battery Passport Requirements
Starting February 18, 2027, every industrial and electric vehicle battery above 2 kWh requires a digital battery passport. ReadyPass generates fully compliant battery passports covering all mandatory data points.
- Battery model identification and manufacturer details
- Carbon footprint declaration per kWh
- Recycled content percentages
- Electrochemical performance and durability data
- Collection and recycling information
Carbon Footprint Tracking
The regulation requires a life-cycle carbon footprint declaration for each battery model. ReadyPass integrates carbon footprint calculation tools and supports the EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology.
- PEF-compliant carbon footprint calculations
- Supply chain emission tracking
- Carbon footprint performance class labelling
- Third-party verification workflow
Due Diligence & Supply Chain
Article 48 requires battery due diligence policies covering raw material sourcing. ReadyPass helps document and verify your supply chain compliance.
