The Battery Pass Technical Standard Stack

A recommendation for standardisation of the European Digital Product Passport System (DPP-System) with particular specifics for the Battery Passport.

Project: Battery Pass

Published: December 2023

Author / Publisher: Battery Pass Consortium / Joint publications


 

This document provides a comprehensive background architecture, called “Standard Stack”, which is essential to select, evaluate and elaborate standards for the technical DPP-System. It addresses the major interoperability issues and presents the elements of the Standard Stack, required for a secure, interoperable and reliable data exchange and provision across different sectors, e.g. for electrical vehicle batteries.

Main Content Guidance

This document provides a detailed perspective on the battery passport content reporting requirements as per the EU Battery Regulation and beyond. It is the first publicly available comprehensive aggregation and interpretation allowing economic operators and other battery value chain players to prepare for the battery passport implementation.

Data Attribute Longlist

The data attribute longlist includes all datarequires (and suggested) for the battery passport alongside definitions as well as further relevant data dimensions. This overview can serve as a first basis for and facilitates the technical demonstration and implementation of the battery passport within the own organisation.

Carbon Footprint Rules

This document provides accounting rules to calculate company-specific carbon footprints of the battery ‘Distribution‘ and ‘End-of-life‘ and rececyling`life cycle stages. The rules are proposed as a complementation to the GBA GHG Rulebook, thus providing a cradle-to-grave Battery Carbon Footprint Rulebook.

EOL Allocation Analysis

This insights report highlights the impact of the methodological choice on the carbon footprint declaration. It includes a comparative assesement of the three main end-of-life allocation approaches and their implication on the carbon footprint in the context of the EU Battery Regulation.
