The battery passport for industrial batteries over 2 kWh

UPS, intralogistics, AGV, stationary storage building blocks. Industrial batteries above 2 kWh become passport-mandatory from 18 February 2027 - with deep BOM, Annex X and 32 mandatory fields from the EU data-point list. Batteriepasswerk turns that complexity into a system.

Reality

Six topics that cost time in an industrial portfolio

01
Bills of material across three to five tiers

Cells, BMS, housings, thermal system, connectors - and supply chains behind them. Excel is not a tool here, it's a trap.

02
Compliance documents in silos

Datasheets in PDF, material declarations in SharePoint, certificates in inboxes. Reproducibility under audit pressure: close to zero.

03
Annex X needs tier-2/-3 data

Due diligence doesn't end at the tier-1 supplier - it demands traceable origin, documented risk analysis and reporting duties.

04
Multiple regimes in parallel

EU Battery Regulation, sector-specific standards, national recycling rules. One data trunk must serve them all.

05
Long model lifecycles

Industrial batteries are sold and operated for 10–20 years. The passport must stay version-stable and revision-current.

06
Passport for authority, recycler, customer

Role-based access is not optional - the passport shows each role exactly what they may see.

Obligations from 2023/1542

What the regulation requires from industrial-battery placers on the market

Annex XIII · 71 EU data points

Passport > 2 kWh

Unique identifier, QR per unit, mandatory fields per the European Commission's official list of data points (71 data points, Version 2.0, 15 August 2026; 32 of them mandatory for industrial batteries at the deadline). Applies to every industrial battery above 2 kWh placed on the market.

Deadline 18.02.2027
Annex X

Supply-chain due diligence

Risk-based due diligence for lithium, nickel, cobalt and natural graphite. Documentation duties reach tier 2/3.

Deadline 18.08.2027
Art. 7 + Annex II

Carbon-footprint declaration

Not yet applicable: the delegated act is missing, and the Commission lists the declaration as not to be filled as of February 2027. Batteriepasswerk keeps the field visible as not yet applicable and makes it mandatory via a rule update once the act is adopted.

Structure & compliance

One structure, all suppliers, one passport - with status per mandatory field

Industrial batteries consist of cells, BMS, housing and thermal management with data from three to five supplier tiers. Batteriepasswerk records the installed components per passport with serial and installation history, shows missing mandatory fields in real time and collects them via supplier self-service.

How we help

Three building blocks that work unusually fast in an industrial portfolio

Structure per passport, master data per model

Installed components with serial, installation and replacement history per passport. Master data and supplier values are maintained once on the model and apply to every unit - no double handling.

Supplier links instead of spreadsheet ping-pong

You generate a link per material position; the supplier fills missing data without an account. Inputs are validated and adopted.

Validation & Annex-X workflow

Validation rules per mandatory field, risk indicators for Annex X, documented measures. An audit trail that holds up before an authority.

Recommended configuration

For industrial batteries: Pro or Enterprise

Component structure, several suppliers, audit duties - the Pro tier covers it. With API/ERP integration and tier-2/-3 depth, Enterprise with SLA and priority is the clean choice.

FAQ · Industrial batteries

What industrial manufacturers ask most

Industrial batteries with a rated capacity above 2 kWh become passport-mandatory from 18.02.2027. That covers UPS modules, intralogistics batteries, AGV/AMR packs, stationary storage building blocks and commercial backup batteries.
From 18.08.2027 supply-chain due-diligence duties apply for lithium, nickel, cobalt and natural graphite. That covers risk analysis, mitigation measures and reporting - documented in the passport and version-stable.
Via supplier self-service. You generate a link per material position, the supplier fills the missing data - without their own account. Inputs are validated and adopted into the passport.
Those are not passport-mandatory. Other obligations of the regulation - conformity declaration, marking, collection and take-back - still apply. We model the corresponding documentation as well.
Enterprise platforms like Siemens or Spherity pay off for corporations with an integration team and a Catena-X mandate; the free consortium tool is a reference, not an operating system. Batteriepasswerk is built for industrial-battery makers without in-house IT: component structure per passport, Annex X workflow, supplier self-service and GS1 QR per unit - compliant passports in days, exportable for a later move to Catena-X.
