Digital product passport (DPP) for batteries
A battery passport is the digital product passport (DPP) for batteries under the Battery Regulation. It combines information about the model and the individual battery and is accessed through a QR code.
Other requirements continue to apply
The passport is one part of the regulatory framework. Product safety, CE marking, conformity documentation, labelling, producer responsibility and other obligations can apply alongside it. Applicability and dates must be assessed separately.
A seal is not certification
Neither an AccuZegel logo nor a QR code independently proves that a battery complies with every requirement. AccuZegel is an independent service and is not a government body, official EU mark or certification authority.
Use the legal definitions
Terms such as manufacturer, importer, distributor, economic operator, LMT battery and industrial battery have specific meanings in the legislation. Do not rely only on a product’s marketing name or a supplier’s informal description.
