Battery Passport QR Code Requirements

The EU battery passport mandate arrives February 18, 2027, with harmonised CEN-CENELEC standards covering the QR code itself, not just the data behind it.

Why AuthiChain

• GS1 Digital Link-formatted QR per battery, the same item-identity format used in the AuthiChain protocol spec
• Carbon footprint, state-of-health, and material-recovery fields anchored to the signed record behind the code
• A verifier rejects a testnet anchor by default and distinguishes anchored records from unanchored ones

How it works

Issue a unique identifier per unit, anchor its record on-chain for tamper-evidence, and let anyone verify it with a single scan. Plans start at $49/mo.

FAQ

What is the compliance deadline?

February 18, 2027, for EV, e-mobility, home-storage, and industrial batteries placed on the EU market.

Is the QR code alone enough?

No — the code has to resolve to a record meeting the passport’s required fields; a code that just links to a marketing page is not a passport.
