Battery passport readiness checklist

By AccuZegel · Content basis reviewed on 14 October 2026

1. Establish scope and responsibilities

Identify your supply-chain role and the battery category. Record the intended EU market date and the responsible economic operator. Agree which work is performed by the factory, your organisation and any service provider.

2. Inventory the available data

Compare your documents with Annex XIII and the Commission’s data-point guidance. Separate shared model data from individual battery information. Record missing fields, sources, versions and applicable access levels.

3. Plan identification and the operational process

Discuss identifiers, QR codes, numbers of models and batteries, recurring shipments and updates. Agree how you validate information and how a passport is registered, accessed and maintained.

4. Agree delivery and ongoing management

Define scope, timing, fees, responsibilities, hosting, access, continuity and exit arrangements. Your final approval should document checks, not be presented as a waiver of legal responsibility.
