Digital Battery Passport: The Implementation Guide to February 2027
SEINE started building its Digital Battery Passport in 2023, around three years before the mandate. Only 19 percent of the companies affected by the Digital Product Passport are comprehensively prepared today, 81 percent still have no viable plan.
This whitepaper shows you what data the battery passport requires under Annex XIII, how to build a reliable system architecture from source systems, platform and the future EU registry, and how the mandate taking effect on 18 February 2027 becomes a competitive edge, with a practical example from industry and a 4-step roadmap.

What you'll get out of this guide:
-
Regulatory clarity through February 2027: Which batteries are affected (EV batteries, industrial batteries above 2 kWh, LMT batteries), what applies from 18 February 2027, and what is still open on carbon footprint declaration because the delegated act on the calculation methodology is still pending.
-
The mandatory data under Annex XIII: Four data categories for operational planning, material and chemistry, carbon footprint, performance and durability, sourcing and circularity, and where the line runs between mandatory data and voluntary data layers for service and second life.
-
The system architecture in three layers: How source systems (ERP, PLM, MES, QM, supplier portals, BMS), the DPP platform and the future EU registry work together, including the special case of dynamic BMS data such as state of health and cycle count.
-
Governance that holds for ten years: Six questions on roles, versioning, supplier data and availability after product discontinuation, plus requirements for trust and tamper protection against greenwashing.
-
The five hurdles from practice, and an early mover who solved them: From the distributed data reality to the supplier bottleneck to the underestimated PEFCR calculation, with the example of a manufacturer that started back in 2023 and today draws business value from the passport in aftersales.
-
The 4-step roadmap: Clarify whether you are affected, assess your data status, start carbon calculation and a pilot, set up suppliers and platform, including the Must, Should, Could matrix for everything that has to be in place by February 2027.
