The EU Battery Passport, delivered.
From 18 February 2027, every EV, LMT and industrial battery over 2 kWh placed on the EU market needs a Digital Battery Passport — printed Article 13 label, QR resolver and full Article 77 record. SmartLinks delivers all three from one connected identity per pack.
Three things you owe the regulator — one platform to deliver them.
The EU Battery Regulation is not one deliverable; it's three, and they resolve to the same battery identity.
Printed Article 13 label
The physical carrier — CE mark, capacity, chemistry, separate-collection symbol and a QR that resolves to the passport. Print-ready SVG/PDF per SKU or batch.
Correct symbol placement, every jurisdiction.
GS1 Digital Link resolver
One QR, many audiences. Role-aware views for consumer, fitter, fleet, recycler and regulator — all served from the same standards-based resolver.
GS1 Digital Link, aligned with CIRPASS-2.
Full Article 77 passport
Chemistry, carbon footprint, state-of-health, recycled content, due-diligence dossier and end-of-life guidance. Machine-readable, exportable, always current.
Registered with the EU DPP Registry.
One record. Every regulator view.
Everything Article 77 asks for — plus the fields your engineers, fleet managers and recyclers actually use in the field.
Composition & manufacturing
The bill of materials the regulator wants — and the sourcing story the buyer wants.
Performance & durability
The living data — what the pack is doing today, not just what it left the line with.
Second life & end of life
The circular story — from repurposing to material recovery.
The Battery Regulation clock — and where SmartLinks is today.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 phases in through 2026 and 2027. SmartLinks is ready ahead of every deadline.
Article 77 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 applies from 18 February 2027. Article 13 printed label from 18 August 2026. Start now — the label lead time is longer than you think.
Every EV needs tyres — and their DPP won't survive a printed sidewall QR.
The 2027 Tyre DPP arrives alongside the Battery Passport. Kerb abrasion, UV and constant sidewall flex destroy printed codes long before the tyre's life is up. See how SmartLinks handles it with embedded RFID + NFC. → /solutions/automotive/tyre-tags
