European Commission announces fourth battery passport webinar

The European Commission has announced the fourth webinar in its series on the Digital Product Passport (DPP) for batteries, to be held on 26 November 2026 from 13:30 to 15:10 CET. The online event will be held in English and is aimed in particular at battery manufacturers, importers, DPP service providers and development, data and integration teams.

Webinar topics

The Commission intends to provide information on the latest developments and guidance concerning the battery passport data points. Another agenda item will cover technical integration with the EU DPP Registry: explanations of the Registry API specification and the semantic data model are planned. An open question-and-answer session with experts from the European Commission is also scheduled.

Context

The webinar is an official information event hosted by the Commission. It is not a new legal act and does not change any regulatory deadlines. The explicitly indicative DPP timeline published by the Commission remains unchanged: the implementing act on access rights for battery passports is still planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.

For the companies concerned, the webinar therefore primarily provides an opportunity to clarify current implementation questions relating to data provision and technical integration with the registry before the battery passport becomes mandatory for certain battery categories on 18 February 2027.
