EU product passports are coming, product group by product group. Your importer carries the liability. The data has to come from you.
Batteries are first: from 18 February 2027, every EV, e-bike and industrial battery above 2 kWh sold in the EU needs a digital passport. Detergents, toys, textiles, steel, furniture, electronics and vehicles follow. We build passports from the data you already have, capture what is missing with RevLogix, and harmonize it into passport-ready data.
Example: battery passport, the first one required.

Lifecycle record
Who carries the duty, who holds the data
Your EU importer
- Legally responsible for the passport of each battery placed on the EU market.
- Customs and market surveillance can check the passport is registered.
- Cannot produce the data alone.
You, the US manufacturer or brand
- Hold the materials, carbon footprint, performance and service data.
- Keep the passport current over the battery's life.
- Can authorize a provider to create and update passports on your behalf.
The obligation follows the brand placing the product on the EU market, not the factory. A US brand building in Asia is still in scope.
Having the data is not the same as having passport data.
What we usually find
- The same battery under different IDs in ERP, dealer and warranty systems.
- Pack serials not linked to the machine they were installed in.
- State of health measured by different methods or in different units.
- Dealer repair records written as free text.
- Sources that disagree, with no rule for which one is right.
- Complete records for some batteries, gaps for others.
What we do
- Match serial numbers across every source.
- Map your fields to the battery passport data model (DIN DKE SPEC 99100).
- Standardise units, codes and dates.
- Set and document which source wins when records conflict.
- Score every battery for completeness before its passport is created.

Every repair, return and handoff updates the passport automatically.
Built to the standards
- EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Article 77 and Annex XIII
- Sets which batteries need a passport, what it contains, and who can see what.
- Article 77(7)
- Repurposed and remanufactured batteries get a new passport linked to the original.
- Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Articles 9 to 15
- Sets the general rules every product passport follows, including the EU DPP registry.
- ISO/IEC 15459
- Sets the rules for globally unique identifiers for every battery.
- GS1 Digital Link
- Puts a web address inside the QR code that any phone can read.
- Harmonised DPP standards from CEN/CENELEC JTC 24
- Cover how passport systems exchange data, including the standard API for reading passport data.
- DIN DKE SPEC 99100
- Defines a battery passport data model.
The battery is the first passport. The machine is next.
- Battery history
- Which battery was in which machine, and when.
- One QR code on the machine
- Battery passport, service record, digital instructions and declaration of conformity in one place. The Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 allows digital instructions from January 2027.
- Ready for what comes next
- Vehicles need a circularity passport from 2032, and EU law requires product passports to work together. A machine record built on the same standards is ready for that.
- Useful now
- Service history, battery history and ownership changes support resale, rental fleets, refurbishment and warranty.
The battery passport is required by law. A machine-level passport is optional today. We build both on the same standards.

Reading the passport is free for everyone with the right access level. You pay to create and maintain it, never to view it.
The same data runs your aftermarket.
| Module | What it does | Who pays |
|---|---|---|
| RevLogix lifecycle capture | Records returns, repairs, swaps and ownership changes where your systems do not, tied to the battery serial. | OEM |
| Warranty data | Service and failure history decides whether a claim is covered. | OEM |
| Health certificates | Verified state of health plus repair history for resale, insurance and leasing. | Seller, buyer or fleet owner, per certificate |
| Remanufacturing certificates | Records what was replaced and why; issues the new linked passport. | Remanufacturer |
| Second-life handoffs | Creates the new passport linked to the original when a battery is repurposed. | New operator |
| Repairs outside your network | Scan-and-record for independent workshops and fleets, under your authorisation. | OEM |
| Failure analytics | Patterns across your installed base by model, part and age. | OEM. Your data stays yours; never sold or pooled. |
Pay once per battery. Pay yearly only for what earns or saves you money.
