Batteries and cells

A battery passport ready before 18 February 2027

The Batteries Regulation requires an electronic passport for batteries of light means of transport (LMT), electric vehicles (EV) and industrial batteries above 2 kWh, and a QR code on each of them. Itemoo gives you a passport per unit and code printing on the shop floor.

What the regulation says

(UE) 2023/1542 — art. 77 — paszport baterii (LMT, EV, przemysłowe > 2 kWh) ·

Legal text on EUR-Lex · As of

Checklist

Each obligation with its legal basis and how Itemoo handles it.

  1. Battery passport

    (UE) 2023/1542 art. 77

    From 18 February 2027 every LMT battery, industrial battery above 2 kWh and electric vehicle battery has an electronic passport.

    In Itemoo: A passport section with the battery data, a passport for each unit and machine-readable data (JSON-LD).

  2. QR code on the battery

    (UE) 2023/1542 art. 13

    The battery is marked with a QR code giving access to information about it, including the passport.

    In Itemoo: Unit-level codes, printing on Zebra printers (ZPL), A4 sheets or from a file for your print house.

  3. Access levels to the data

    (UE) 2023/1542 art. 77, zał. XIII

    Some passport information is public; some is available only to persons with a legitimate interest and to authorities — the details are set by an implementing act.

    In Itemoo: We publish the public data today; access levels are being prepared together with the implementing act.

  4. A passport for the whole life cycle

    (UE) 2023/1542 art. 77

    The passport has to remain available throughout the battery’s life cycle, including after its status changes.

    In Itemoo: A printed code never leads nowhere: archiving instead of deletion and a code maintenance mode after the contract ends.

This is a summary of obligations, not legal advice. The manufacturer remains responsible for product compliance and document content.

In Itemoo

A passport for every unit

Model data and the data of a specific battery in one place, with the serial number from your MES or ERP.

Print codes where you produce

Zebra printers (ZPL), A4 sheets or a file for your print house — and activation of the whole pool by range.

Machine-readable data

The passport in JSON-LD (schema.org) and through the API — for recyclers, service partners and your own systems.

Frequently asked questions

Which batteries need a passport?

Light means of transport (LMT) batteries, electric vehicle batteries and industrial batteries with a capacity above 2 kWh — from 18 February 2027.

Does Itemoo register the passport in an EU registry?

No. We make the data available in machine-readable formats (JSON-LD, API); obligations towards registries stay with the manufacturer.

What about data only authorised persons may see?

The regulation separates public data from data available to persons with a legitimate interest; the details are set by an implementing act. We publish the public data today; access levels are being prepared.
