EU Battery Regulation compliance that scales with the mandate
Kezzler helps you prepare for the EU Battery Regulation, whether it’s Digital Battery Passports or QR-code requirements for all other batteries under Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 — all in one scalable, standards-based solution that keeps your data foundation ready as requirements evolve.
What do you need to comply with?
The EU Battery Regulation (EUBR) entered into force in August 2023. For most manufacturers and importers, the most pressing requirements land on 18 February 2027, when new digital obligations become enforceable across key battery categories.
Many companies are aware of the Digital Battery Passport. Fewer have addressed the QR code obligation that applies to all other batteries. The two requirements overlap: the QR code data is a subset of the Digital Battery Passport, with the key differences being that the dynamic data requirements and EU Registry registration only apply to the latter. If your portfolio spans both, a single implementation approach is likely to be more efficient. Kezzler handles both EUBR requirements — and any other product categories subject to DPP obligations — from one place.

Consumers
Second-hand market consumers
Authorized representative
Market Surveillance Authorities (MSA)
Deadline: 18.02.2027
Conformity and Labeling QR code
Data-intensive lifecycle record
Covered batteries
All other batteries
Data scope
Varies slightly by category. Overlap with DBP, but less comprehensive and no dynamic data:
EU Declaration of Conformity
Electrochemical composition
Hazardous substances
Battery mass
Place/ date of manufacturing
Who needs access
Consumers
Market Surveillance Authorities (MSA)
Recyclers
Common compliance challenges
Businesses implementing EU Battery Regulation compliance commonly face:
Siloed data sits across suppliers, ERP, MES, PLM, and BMS systems.
Dynamic battery data — State of Health, State of Charge, and cycle history — changes continuously throughout the battery’s lifecycle and must be updated and maintained for the battery’s lifetime.
Navigating a shifting regulatory landscape with delegated acts still being finalized.
Scaling unique digital identity management across your entire battery portfolio without impacting performance.
Ensuring interoperability with the EU DPP Registry and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Finding one system that handles multiple battery categories, cross-industry DPP requirements, and multiple product lines without compromise.
Kezzler’s solution for EUBR compliance
Kezzler helps battery manufacturers, importers, and distributors implement and manage both the Digital Battery Passport and the conformity QR code. Our platform collects and structures battery data, supports regulatory reporting, and enables secure data sharing across the full battery lifecycle.
Connect your ERP, MES, PLM, IoT devices, and Battery Management Systems through standard APIs. Static model data is typically collected from the ERP system, dynamic operational data on an ongoing basis from the BMS. Kezzler operates as a layer on top of your business-critical infrastructure — non-disruptive by design.
All battery data is structured into a centralized, standards-based repository and linked to a unique battery identifier — static and dynamic data held together in a single source of truth that is secure, audit-ready, and shareable across your value chain with configurable access rights. Battery passports are then registered with the EU DPP Registry.
Provide downstream service providers — such as repairers or recyclers — MSAs, and consumers with differentiated access through a scannable QR code linked to the passport. Front-ends are configurable and customizable.
What compliance-ready data unlocks
When your battery data is structured and connected for compliance, the same infrastructure unlocks value across your entire business.
More efficient data sharing
Machine-readable and interoperable passports built on open standards make data exchange across your value chain faster, more reliable, and less dependent on manual processes.
Less manual reporting
Automated collection of and reporting eliminates the need to pull records manually across disconnected systems.
New business models
Lifecycle data from the passport supports Battery-as-a-Service models, secondary markets, and circular economy revenue streams.
Circularity and sustainability
Verified data on carbon footprint, recycled content, and material sourcing makes sustainability claims defensible and keeps ESG reporting grounded in facts.
Supply chain resilience
End-to-end visibility from raw materials to end-of-life surfaces operational risks earlier, reduces waste, and strengthens supplier relationships.
Brand trust and engagement
Consumers and partners can access verified product data directly from the battery, reinforcing sustainability commitments with proof.

How to prepare for the regulation
Identify the regulatory requirements that apply to the batteries you place on the EU market — and to any other regions where you operate.
Decide whether your DBP implementation targets compliance only or broader business value, and identify any additional data element needed to support this.
Map current data sources across your supply chain. Identify gaps in static model data and dynamic data.
Understand where data originates, who owns it, and what systems hold it. Supplier readiness is often the critical path.
Look for proven flexibility, scalability, and active regulatory involvement — a solution built on open, standards-based architecture that can grow with your data volumes, adapt as requirements shift, and cover region-specific obligations beyond the EU.
Start with a few products. Validate the process, close data gaps, and expand across your portfolio.
