Smart compliance: your battery passport, all in one place
From 18 February 2027, e-bike, EV and energy-storage batteries above 2 kWh need a battery passport to be sold in the EU. AI reads the spec sheets and test reports you already have, every field is checked against the Regulation, and once you confirm it, the passport and QR code are ready. Free pilot places are open.
Paid plans are opening soon.

Why PassBridge
We’ve done the regulatory homework — just follow the platform
We went through the Battery Regulation, the Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) and the EU registry rules article by article, and turned them into the checks and field requirements inside the platform. Every step you take has a legal basis behind it.
- Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542
- Annex XIII (71 data points in the Commission guidance)
- ESPR (EU) 2024/1781
- Registry implementing regulation (EU) 2026/1778
- EN 18219–18223 (tracked)
FastGet going with what you have
Use the documents you already have
Spec sheets, test reports and safety data sheets, in Chinese or English. The AI pulls out the values and notes the page and line each one came from — you just check them. Every value is already mapped to the right field.
We list what to ask your suppliers for
Some data only your cell or material suppliers have. The platform lists it, you send them a link, and they fill it in on their phone — no account needed. They get a reminder before the deadline.
IDs and QR codes, generated for you
Once a passport is published, the platform generates each battery’s unique ID and QR code, plus label files ready for the printer — no separate system needed.
RightDone by the rules
The regulation decides, not guesswork
Which category your battery falls in, whether it needs a passport and by when — each answer comes with the article behind it. Tricky cases such as home storage and portable power stations are spelled out; if a case is truly unclear, we tell you to check with an expert.
Every field and every access level, by the book
The 71 data points the Commission lists, checked as 92 fields against what the regulation asks for; errors block publishing. What everyone can see, what only recyclers and repairers see and what only authorities see is separated automatically.
Battery Regulation vs ESPR — clearly sorted
Batteries sit under both the Battery Regulation and ESPR, and it is easy to mix them up. Example: registering the passport ID with the EU registry applies; the ESPR “backup copy” rule does not apply to batteries. We sorted it all from the original texts — nothing extra, nothing missed.
SteadyCovered for the long run
EU registration, step by step
Who registers, how the electronic seal works, how a Chinese company ID goes into the seal — the wizard explains it all and generates the files you need. We will connect to the EU registry as soon as it opens for batteries.
Rules change, the platform keeps up
When new rules or dates come out, we tell you ahead of time.
Clear on data, access and price
Your source documents stay in mainland China. Published passports are hosted on servers in Hong Kong. Prices are public: per model per year. Export all your data any time. If your company ever closes, we keep your published passports online so they still scan.
Three ways to do it
| Aspect | Spreadsheets in-house | Hire a consultancy | Use PassBridge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Understanding the rules | Read the legal texts yourself | A consultant explains | Built into the platform, with the article for every answer |
| Reading documents, filling data | Copy by hand | Consultant compiles, back and forth | AI reads, you confirm |
| Is it right? | Experience | The consultant’s judgment | Checked automatically before publishing |
| Passport and QR code | Need another system | Usually extra cost | Generated in the platform |
| When rules change | Research again | Pay again | We alert you and update |
| Cost | Staff time, hard to tell | Quoted per project | Public prices you can calculate |
We help you build and maintain your battery passports by the rules. Under the Battery Regulation, the company placing the battery on the EU market is responsible for the passport content (Art. 77(4)). Our guides are for reference only and are not legal advice.
Guides
Know the rules first: the four guides we are asked about most
Do I need one?
What is a battery passport, and who is responsible for it?
A battery passport is an electronic record that goes with the battery; scan the QR code on the battery to open it. From 18 February 2027, LMT batteries, electric vehicle batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh need one to be placed on the EU market. The economic operator that places the battery on the market is responsible for what is in it.
Do I need one?
Does my battery need a battery passport?
From 18 February 2027, three kinds of battery need a battery passport to be sold in the EU: light means of transport (LMT) batteries such as e-bike batteries, electric vehicle batteries, and industrial batteries above 2 kWh, home storage included. Every other battery needs no passport, but must carry a QR code from the same day.
Dates
What to prepare before 18 February 2027
Work out which battery type each model is, gather the spec sheets and test reports, complete the passport data and pass the checks, decide which company places the batteries on the EU market as the economic operator, then publish the passport and print the QR code on the battery. Once the EU registry opens for batteries, the passport's identifier also has to be registered.
QR code and registration
How to register in the EU registry, and what about the e-seal
The EU digital product passport registry (the EU registry) cannot take battery passports yet, and the opening date is not set. Once it opens, the economic operator that places the battery on the market uploads the battery's unique identifier. Before that the company has to verify its identity; a legal person does so with a qualified electronic seal or an electronic attestation of attributes issued under EU law. What you can do now is get the documents ready.
How we handle your passport data
- Every passport is checked field by field against the data model before publishing; errors block publishing.
- The AI only writes drafts. Legal steps such as publishing are confirmed by your compliance lead.
- The public page has no restricted data; restricted data goes only to parties entitled to see it.
- Source documents, bills of materials and supplier data stay in the workspace and never leave with the passport.
FAQ
Does my battery need a battery passport?
From 18 February 2027, LMT batteries (such as e-bike batteries), EV batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh — including home storage — need a battery passport to be placed on the EU market. Batteries that do not need one still need a QR code. If you are unsure where your product falls, contact us. Nothing on this site is legal advice.
What should I prepare before 18 February 2027?
Work out the category of each model; gather spec sheets, test reports and safety data sheets; fill and check the passport data; decide who places the batteries on the EU market (your importer or you; an authorised representative only acts within its written mandate); publish the passport and print the QR code on the battery. Once the EU registry opens for batteries, register there too.
Who is responsible for the passport content?
The economic operator that places the battery on the EU market (Battery Regulation, Art. 77(4)). PassBridge hosts and checks the passports; legal steps such as publishing are confirmed by your compliance lead.
Will the AI fill in or publish my passport?
No. In the workspace the AI reads your documents and marks each value as an “AI draft” with the page it came from. Nothing counts until you confirm it, and the AI cannot publish, delete or register anything. Which model is used will be stated in the AI services notice published with the workspace.
Will restricted data show on the public page?
No. The public page only shows what may be public. Dismantling details, battery status and usage data are only for authorised parties who log in to the access portal.
Where is my data stored?
The workspace runs in mainland China. Published passports are hosted on our passport hosting service (Hong Kong node). Source documents, bills of materials and supplier data stay in the workspace and never leave with the passport. If you need it, ask us about passport hosting on the EU node.
How is it priced? Can I use it now?
Free pilot places are available now; paid plans are opening soon. Prices and billing rules will be published on the pricing page before paid plans open. To join, apply for the free pilot.
Can I take my data with me if I switch providers?
Yes. You can export everything, including all passport versions and files. Until the move is complete, we keep hosting your published passports.
