Who is responsible for battery regulation compliance?

The economic operator that places the battery on the EU market — the manufacturer, or the importer for batteries made outside the EU. That operator is responsible for the conformity and the passport.

How do I know which obligations apply to my battery?

Use the free LMTPASS scope checker: answer four questions about your battery type and capacity and it returns the applicable obligations and key deadlines under EU 2023/1542, with no sign-up required.

Does the software keep audit-ready evidence?

Yes. Every passport carries an audit trail of who created, edited and read it, and published passports can be issued as Ed25519-signed Verifiable Credentials for authority-grade verification.

Key facts

The regulation covers carbon footprint, recycled content, due diligence, performance and the digital passport.
The digital battery passport is mandatory from 18 February 2027; due-diligence obligations apply from 18 August 2027.

Auditors and buyers expect evidence: who entered each value, when, and from which source.
