What the Battery Regulation requires
Annex XIII of Regulation 2023/1542 lists 71 data points: chemistry, capacity, carbon footprint (CF), recycled content, durability, SOH, supply chain and end-of-life instructions. Data must be accessible via QR and GS1 Digital Link, with tiered access (public, legitimate interest, authorities). Hoken Pass maps these fields to a guided 6-tab template and exports EU JSON/XML for the Registry.
- EU DPP Registry live 20 July 2026 — single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu
- 71 data points incl. carbon footprint & SOH for second life
- QR + GS1 Digital Link + eIDAS timestamp + blockchain auditability
- 50+ delegated acts through 2026 — Hoken Pass keeps templates updated
Battery passport second-life gap
Packs sold before 2027 will feed reuse until 2035 without passport data. Testing each pack 1-by-1 does not scale. Hoken Pass adds state of health that repairers and storage operators can trust and update, plus dismantling instructions and legitimate-interest access under the Batteries Regulation.
Why SMEs choose Hoken Pass
- Guided Battery template — 71 fields pre-mapped, no enterprise consulting
- Qualified eIDAS timestamp included + blockchain anchor (immutability)
- Hosted, versioned, push to EU DPP Registry when category hits
- Free tier 3 passports, paid from €120/year — explicit pricing
Compare: Spherity VERA, DPP-Tool (€29), ProductPasses (€9) — Hoken Pass differs on eIDAS + Registry push.
The cost of waiting for 2027
What waiting costs: estimate your EU revenue at risk
From 18 February 2027, batteries in scope cannot be placed on the EU market without a passport. This estimator multiplies your exposed units by their value. Planning estimate, not legal advice.
Annual EU revenue that needs a passport from 18 February 2027
€150,000
- National fines apply on top: ESPR Article 74 and the Battery Regulation leave penalties to Member States (effective, proportionate, dissuasive), including fines, withdrawal and recall.
- Rushed compliance costs more: published 2026 market data puts SME year-one DPP cost at 348 to 50,000 EUR, with data collection at 10,000 to 80,000 EUR per product category.
- Hoken Pass Base at 10 EUR per month covers the software side from today, so the gap is data collection, not tooling.
