Battery passport readiness

Battery DPP readiness starts with supplier evidence, not a QR page.

In-scope battery passports have a fixed 18 February 2027 obligation. Redy helps teams turn material, carbon, recycled content, due diligence, and supplier attestation gaps into governed requests and versioned passport data before the deadline becomes the project.

Readiness snapshot
Fixed date
18 February 2027

In-scope battery passports move from planning concern to operating requirement.

In scope
LMT, industrial >2 kWh, EV

The passport obligation applies by battery category, not by whether the supplier data is easy to collect.

Access path
QR + unique identifier

The passport has to be reachable through a QR code linked to a unique identifier.

Output posture
Interoperable and access-controlled

Public, restricted, and legitimate-interest access needs should inherit the same reviewed evidence trail.

Deadline posture

The date is fixed. The hard work is upstream evidence.

The battery passport is accessed through a QR code linked to a unique identifier, but the defensibility problem starts before the scan: manufacturers need reviewed, supplier-backed data for the fields that make the passport credible.

Access path

The passport has to be reachable through a QR code linked to a unique identifier.

Output posture

Interoperable and access-controlled

Public, restricted, and legitimate-interest access needs should inherit the same reviewed evidence trail.

Battery evidence

The hard part is evidence collection across the battery supply chain.

Materials

Composition and component evidence

Collect supplier records for chemistry, component identity, source declarations, and bill-of-material context without spreading data across email threads.

Circularity

Recycled content and recovery claims

Request and review evidence for recycled material claims, reuse context, and recovery-related fields as schemas mature.

Impact

Carbon and production footprint inputs

Coordinate source documents, LCA references, and supplier attestations that support carbon and footprint-related passport claims.

Responsibility

Due diligence and supplier attestations

Keep due diligence declarations, audit letters, certifications, and supplier approvals tied to the passport version they support.

Field map

Map passport fields to the supplier evidence that proves them.

Redy keeps the domain schema, supplier submission, reviewer decision, and published DPP version connected so a battery program can explain where each claim came from.

Material composition
Supplier evidence

Chemistry declarations, component records, source references, and bill-of-material context.

Redy control

Scoped request, supplier-owned response, review state, version attribution.

Carbon footprint inputs
Supplier evidence

LCA references, production footprint data, energy inputs, and supporting methodology notes.

Redy control

Document attachment, extracted values, source context, approval before publication.

Recycled content
Supplier evidence

Supplier declarations, certificates, batch context, and recovery or recycled material claims.

Redy control

Reusable evidence records and grant controls so approved data can support more than one DPP.

Due diligence
Supplier evidence

Audit letters, policy attestations, certifications, and risk-screening evidence.

Redy control

Audit log, reviewer attribution, and a clear split between submitted evidence and approved claims.

State-of-health / lifecycle data
Supplier evidence

Operational, service, repair, repurposing, or recycling information when applicable to the battery category.

Redy control

Role-aware access posture and passport version history as data changes after publication.

Workflow fit

Battery-specific fields, Redy-wide control model.

Battery evidence is domain-specific, but the control model should stay consistent: scoped requests, supplier-owned responses, manufacturer review, provenance, versioning, and controlled publication.

Readiness questions
  • Which battery categories are in scope?
  • Which required fields sit with suppliers?
  • Which evidence can be reused across product lines?
  • Which outputs must be public, restricted, or role-based?
  • Which passport fields need version history after publication?
  1. 1Identify missing battery passport fields
  2. 2Send scoped supplier evidence requests
  3. 3Attach declarations, certificates, and source documents
  4. 4Review claims before they become passport data
  5. 5Publish a versioned DPP with provenance intact
Outputs

Publish only after the evidence trail is defensible.

Redy keeps output surfaces tied to approved data, source context, and version history.
