What this checks

It applies the 2027-02-18 passport rule to category, capacity, and market status.

Who should use it

Teams deciding whether a battery passport is required before using a generic passport tool.

How results work

Passport required, likely not required, or review required. Missing capacity or status stays in review.

Application dates

From 2027-02-18 an LMT battery, an industrial battery above 2 kWh, and an EV battery need a battery passport when placed on the market or put into service. Battery due-diligence obligations run from 2027-08-18. A further category date stays pending until an implementing act sets it.

Official sources

Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 consolidated text, Commission batteries pages, and Commission guidance.

Limitations

This does not certify a passport and it does not decide a national penalty.

How to use the scope screen

Set the battery type

Use LMT, EV, industrial, or other, plus the yes or no flags.

Set capacity only when needed

Above 2 kWh matters for an industrial battery. Other bands stay unknown rather than guessed.

Read the label

A missing fact is not treated as an exemption.

Questions

Does an industrial battery at 2 kWh need a passport?

No. The rule is above 2 kWh. At or under that band is likely not required when the other flags are clear.

What if capacity is unknown?

Review required. The screen does not invent the capacity.

Is a portable battery included by default?

No. If it is not LMT, EV, or industrial above 2 kWh, it is likely not required.

Does this replace the generic passport tools?

No. Those stay linked for identifier and carrier work.
