¿Qué es DPP?
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured, machine-readable record of a product's key information — its identity, composition, performance and end-of-life data — reachable through a data carrier such as a QR code. The EU is rolling DPPs out product group by product group under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).

This module implements the battery passport. From 18 February 2027 every LMT battery, every industrial battery over 2 kWh, and every electric-vehicle battery placed on the EU market or put into service must carry one. ESPR product groups are not implemented unless a product-specific legal act is pinned in the profile.

The passport's content is fixed by law: Annex XIII lists the datapoints it must carry — from model and material composition through carbon footprint, state of health and recycling information. Some points are public, some are restricted to authorities and parties with a legitimate interest, and some are specific to each individual battery.

Clearlane checks whether the recorded Annex XIII fields are present and whether the encoded category and status values are allowed. It does not verify the truth of the values, create the per-unit identifier or QR/data carrier, implement access controls, or operate a passport registry. An operational passport file and registry connection are not offered until the complete interfaces have been conformance-tested.

¿Quién debe cumplir DPP?
The economic operator that places the battery on the EU market attributes its unique identifier and is responsible for keeping the passport accurate, complete and up to date. It may authorise another operator to act on its behalf, but the responsibility sits with it.

Scope is decided by battery category, not by customs code: LMT batteries, industrial batteries with a capacity above 2 kWh, and electric-vehicle batteries. The CN heading 8507 is only a customs-classification aid — knowing the HS code alone does not tell you whether a passport is required; the category does.

ESPR DPP registry
Under the ESPR framework, the Commission must set up the central DPP registry — which stores at least the unique identifiers, including battery unique identifiers — by this date. The passport data itself stays decentralised with the operator.

Legitimate-interest access act
An implementing act specifying who counts as having a 'legitimate interest' in the restricted passport data — and their access to it — was due by this date and, as of 19 August 2026, had not been adopted. Until it is adopted, the access tiers for restricted Annex XIII data are not yet fixed.

Battery passport required
From this date, each LMT battery, each industrial battery over 2 kWh, and each EV battery placed on the market or put into service must have a battery passport. This is the date the obligation switches on.

QR marking obligation
The same date carries the obligation to mark batteries with the QR code that acts as the passport's data carrier — the physical link between the battery and its digital record.

¿Cómo se cumple en la práctica?
Datapoints
The passport must carry the information catalogue Annex XIII sets out. The first step is to attach each battery product and capture its Annex XIII datapoints — the raw material of the passport.

Validate
Annex XIII fixes which fields the passport contains. Validation runs the cited rule pack over the recorded data so a missing required field or invalid encoded category/status is reported. It does not test whether a supplied value is substantively correct.

Completeness check
The operator must keep the passport accurate, complete and up to date. Clearlane captures a reproducible field-presence evidence bundle; accuracy and per-unit lifecycle operation remain the operator's responsibility.

Package
'Ready' means the Annex XIII field-presence report is available for review. It does not mean an operational passport, identifier, QR/data carrier, access-control service or registry record has been created.

State of health
A per-battery datapoint describing the battery's current condition relative to new. Annex XIII Part 4(b) requires it in the passport, so the readiness rule treats an absent field as an error even though the value evolves in service.

¿Qué pasa si no cumple?
The obligation is a condition of market access: from 18 February 2027, each LMT battery, each industrial battery over 2 kWh, and each EV battery placed on the market or put into service must have a battery passport. A battery in scope without one cannot lawfully be placed on the EU market.

Placement is not a one-time snapshot: the economic operator must keep the passport accurate, complete and up to date for the life of the obligation. A passport that is missing mandatory Annex XIII datapoints does not discharge the duty.
