EU Battery Passport — Digital Product Passport Compliance
Prepare for EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 with tiered access, GS1 Digital Links, and machine-readable APIs. Be compliant before February 2027.
Battery Passport Compliance Without the €200K Price Tag
The EU Battery Passport regulation (2023/1542) becomes mandatory in February 2027. Every battery placed on the EU market will need a Digital Product Passport with structured data, tiered access control, and machine-readable APIs.
Enterprise consultancies quote €80,000-200,000 for custom implementations. QRabl delivers the same compliance infrastructure through a fixed-scope Battery DPP Pilot at €4,900 — the pilot plus 12 months of DPP Platform access.
What the Battery Passport Pack Does
Defines every mandatory field. Battery type, capacity, voltage, chemistry type, carbon footprint, recycled content, material composition, performance data, state of health, and conformity declaration. All structured with proper validation and help text referencing the regulation.
Enforces tiered access. The DPP specification requires different data for different audiences. QRabl handles this natively:
- Public tier: Product name, manufacturer, battery type, capacity, voltage, state of health — visible to anyone who scans the QR code.
- Operator tier: Material composition, carbon footprint, recycled content, performance data — accessible after email verification with role selection.
- Authority tier: Conformity declaration, test reports, technical documentation — restricted to market surveillance and customs authorities.
- Recycler tier: Disassembly instructions, chemical composition, material recovery data — for authorized recycling operators.
Provides machine-readable APIs. Your battery's DPP data is available via JSON-LD with GS1 vocabulary at a standards-compliant API endpoint. OEM procurement systems can query any battery's passport programmatically. No custom development required.
Generates GS1 Digital Links. Each battery gets a unique identifier resolvable via GS1 Digital Link. The QR code conforms to the ESPR specification for product identifiers.
Proof of Concept in an Afternoon
Sign up, install the Battery Passport pack, create one battery product, fill in the data, and test the full flow: public QR scan, professional access request, OTP verification, tiered data display, and API query. One afternoon. One battery model. Full confidence in the architecture before rolling out to your entire catalog.
Built for Integration
Your ERP or manufacturing execution system is the source of truth for battery data. QRabl's API accepts data updates from external systems, so state-of-health readings, production batch data, and test results can flow in automatically. The platform handles the public-facing infrastructure — tiered access, GS1 resolution, JSON-LD formatting — while your internal systems remain in control.
The Board Conversation
The cost comparison speaks for itself: a €4,900 fixed-scope pilot — including 12 months of DPP Platform access — vs. €80,000-200,000 for custom development plus €20,000-50,000/year in maintenance. Pilot delivery takes weeks. Custom builds take 6-9 months. And with the February 2027 deadline approaching, time is the scarcest resource.
