2027 is approaching faster than expected. Are you prepared for the battery passport?
Battery passport
SecIdent transforms the battery passport from an obligation into a competitive advantage!
What is the battery passport and who is affected by it?
The battery passport is Europe's first digital product passport, marking the beginning of a new era of transparency and traceability. It contains all the relevant product information from the beginning to the end of the product's life cycle. The battery passport aims to support the transition from a linear to a circular economy.
From 2027 onwards, certain battery types must have a digital product passport containing information on origin, composition and environmental impact. This will particularly affect manufacturers or importers of:
- Electric vehicle (EV) batteries
- Light means of transport (LMT) batteries, such as e-bikes and e-scooters
Industrial batteries with a capacity above 2 kWh, such as those used in industrial activities, communication infrastructure or energy storage
What's SecIdent?
SecIdent is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution for implementing the battery passport. It generates cryptographically encrypted serial numbers, enabling the forgery-proof identification of batteries — a key prerequisite for traceability and compliance with legal requirements.
SecIdent turns:
- data into insights
- QR codes into customer loyalty
- and compliance into differentiation
Which information is required by the battery passport?
The EU Battery Regulation specifies that a wide range of information relating to the entire product life cycle must be digitally recorded and made available via the battery passport. These requirements are categorised as follows:

With SecIdent, the obligation becomes a competitive advantage
The introduction of a battery passport is often seen as an bureaucratic burden. However, when used correctly, it offers significant advantages, and SecIdent can help you realise this potential!
Market intelligence and product improvements: With SecIdent, manufacturers can gain insight into how and where their products are used, which models are performing well and where optimisation is needed. Every scan is documented and localised in SecIdent, enabling strategic conclusions to be drawn from the data.
Customer loyalty: The battery pass creates new touchpoints with customers. It can be used to provide targeted content, such as application tips, videos, and cross-selling offers. This improves the user experience and strengthens customer loyalty. Response pages created with SecIdent allow specific content and documents to be provided. SecIdent also enables review groups to be defined, allowing different market participants to be shown relevant content in a targeted manner.
Traceability SecIdent enables the tamper-proof serialisation of each unit, ensuring complete traceability of articles, batches and serial numbers. This facilitates audits and is ideal for rapid recall processes.
