Your batteries' EU passports, made once – for every importer
How it works
Your data stays with you. Each importer sees the passports of its batteries at the level of a legitimate interest; what only the authorities see stays with you.
Register and link your importers
Invite your importers by their code or e-mail and choose who pays for the passports – the importer, or you. Accepting the link is the importer's written authorisation (Art. 77(4)).
Describe the model once
The composition, the performance, the carbon footprint, the EU declaration of conformity – read by AI from your documents, checked by you.
Serial numbers and QR codes
Create the serial numbers and print the QR labels in your factory. The address never changes.
Assign a batch to an importer
A range, a list or a CSV of serial numbers, with the container number and the expected arrival.
The importer confirms
The passports are published when the importer confirms the batch, naming it as the responsible economic operator. They count in the plan of whoever pays for the batch.
Who does what
The manufacturer describes the battery; the importer places it on the EU market as the responsible economic operator and pays for its passport.
| What | Manufacturer outside the EU | Importer |
|---|---|---|
| Passport data | Makes it: model, composition, performance, carbon footprint, documents | Checks it; is named in it as the responsible economic operator |
| EU declaration of conformity | Draws it up (Art. 18) | Checks it and keeps a copy for 10 years (Art. 41) |
| Warranty, service, spare parts, take-back | Its own, when no importer adds one | Adds its own for its batteries |
| Batches | Assigns the batteries of each shipment | Confirms or rejects them |
| Paying for the passports | Pays nothing to prepare them; may pay for chosen importers or batches | Pays for the passports it places on the EU market |
| EU registry | Sees the state | Registers each batch – with the file the platform prepares |
| Customs | — | Releases the batteries for free circulation – by then the passports must exist and be registered |
What you will use
The features of the platform this situation relies on most.
- Fill from documents (AI)
- Battery cell library
- Importers and manufacturers outside the EU
- Permanent QR codes
- Signed versions
Good to know
- Preparing passports costs you nothing on any plan – models, data, documents, serial numbers, QR codes and batches, within fair-use caps. The operator that places the battery on the EU market pays: your importers, for the batches they confirm, or you, for the importers or batches you choose.
- One passport per battery, whoever imports it: no copies of your data at every importer.
- Your importers add only what depends on them – warranty, service, spare parts, take-back – and their name goes on the label (Art. 41(3)).
- Importer not on the platform yet? Enter it and we invite it by e-mail. Assign it batches and print their labels now: they wait until it registers, accepts the link – its written authorisation – and confirms them.
The responsibility for the passport stays with the importer (Art. 77(4)); the platform acts on its written authorisation. This page explains the service, it is not legal advice.
Other situations
What the platform does for you depends on who places the battery on the EU market.
Give your importers passports they can confirm
Preparing them costs you nothing; the passports of your first batches are ready before your containers ship.
