Less than a year to the 18 Feb 2027 Digital Battery Passport mandate. Rather than tackling items one by one, connect PCF, traceability and ecodesign data once.
The layered challenge of the Battery Regulation
The Battery Regulation layers obligations over time: PCF declaration, critical-mineral due diligence, the Digital Battery Passport and recycled content. Tackling each separately rebuilds data repeatedly; a unified foundation satisfies many at once.
Step 1: product carbon footprint
Build a battery PCF model per ISO 14067 across cell, module and pack, ready in a declarable format.
Step 2: mine-level traceability
Cobalt/lithium/nickel/graphite must be traced to the mine level with due-diligence evidence — also the source of the DPP “origin” fields.
Step 3: ecodesign parameters
Removability, recyclability and recycled content are both regulatory requirements and key parameters reused by the DPP and future ESPR.
Step 4: generate & distribute the DPP
Feed the above into the Digital Battery Passport, configure 7-role permissions and the endpoint API, and distribute via QR/NFC.
