Project: Battery Pass
Published: July 2023
Author / Publisher: Battery Pass Consortium / Joint publications
This document addresses clarification needs and presents recommendations by the Battery Pass consortium on battery passport content requirements as laid out in the EU Battery Regulation. It builds on our insights in the Battery Passport Content Guidance and is directed towards the European Commission incl. related institutions such as the JRC.

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.
