DPP mandatory for certain batteries

From 18 February 2027, the battery passport (Article 77 of the Batteries Regulation) will be mandatory for batteries for electric vehicles, batteries for light means of transport (e.g. e-bikes and e-scooters), and industrial batteries with more than 2 kWh. The passport will be accessible via a QR code on the battery and will contain, among other things, information on the manufacturer, composition, carbon footprint and performance. The date is set out in the legislation and does not depend on further legal acts.
