EU Battery Regulation — Battery Passport (framework)Battery
The EU Battery Regulation replaces the 2006 Directive with a single, directly-applicable regime: due diligence, carbon footprint, recycled content, removability, labelling — and a Battery Passport for LMT, industrial >2 kWh and EV batteries from 18 February 2027. Regonance captures the framework today and refuses to ship verdicts on values the implementing acts have not yet fixed.
The concrete categories in scope
Anyone placing batteries on the EU market — portable, LMT (e-bikes / e-scooters), industrial, SLI, or EV — sold standalone or built into a product, including non-EU sellers shipping into the EU.
What Battery obliges you to do
Record each battery
Chemistry, battery category, capacity, voltage, removability, hazardous-substance flags.
Capture the Annex XIII framework
Identifiers, composition, carbon footprint, due diligence, recycled content, performance & durability, dismantling, compliance docs, QR.
Respect audience restrictions
Public / economic-operator / authority renderer is wired; the Art. 78 mapping stays provisional until adopted.
Key dates and what they trigger
Carbon-footprint declaration
Begins for EV batteries; industrial >2 kWh and LMT follow on staggered dates.
Battery Passport
Required for LMT, industrial >2 kWh and EV batteries; portable removability becomes enforceable.
Recycled content
Minimum Co / Li / Ni / Pb thresholds phase in.
From exposed to audit-ready
Six readiness checks Regonance turns from gap to source-traced for Battery.
What the platform does for Battery
Coming soon on every plan; gated until the Stage-0 source-verification pass on Reg (EU) 2023/1542 clears.
Detect Battery applicability
Once a battery is recorded, detection flags scope and identifies the sub-regime when thresholds are source-verified.
Capture the Annex XIII framework
Each pending value renders with a clear 'pending delegated act' badge — no false certainty.
Surface the phased timeline
Phase timeline on the regulation hub shows what's enforceable now vs. later, sourced from versioned-rule effective windows.
The gaps we see most often on Battery
- No structured battery data on the product
- No awareness of which sub-regime applies (portable vs. LMT vs. industrial vs. EV)
- Treating delegated-act-pending values as fixed
- No surface for audience-restricted passport fields
Every Battery finding is source-traced — what the gap is, where it came from in your inputs, and the remediation step. A readiness report, not a verdict.
Battery questions, answered
When does the Battery Passport apply?
From 18 February 2027 for LMT batteries, industrial batteries >2 kWh, and EV batteries.
Why is the module gated coming-soon?
The passport JSON schema (Art. 77(4)), carbon-footprint methodology, and Art. 78 access-control mapping are still pending or only partially adopted. We won't ship a verdict we can't quote.
Does it reuse the DPP spine?
Yes — same passport infrastructure, same QR / GS1 Digital Link, same JSON-LD renderer. The battery sub-profile mounts on top.
