When is the battery passport mandatory?

From 18 February 2027 for industrial, EV and LMT batteries above 2 kWh placed on the EU market under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 Art 77. The EU DPP Registry is live since 20 July 2026. Textiles follow with delegated acts in late 2027 and at least 18 months transition.

What does a battery passport contain before the QR?

Carbon footprint, chemistry, capacity, durability, material composition, recycled content, state of health for second life, supply chain and end of life instructions, with tiered access under GS1 Digital Link. Hoken Pass maps these fields before generating the QR.

What is the Sustainable Cluster Brand in Panipat?

A cluster level framework under the Green Threads project to move Panipat from implicit to verified circularity, with a DPP pilot for textile waste traceability and support from the Foundation for MSME Clusters and partners.

How much does battery passport compliance cost for an SME?

Data collection dominates cost, not the QR. Hoken Pass starts free for 3 passports with paid plans from 120 EUR per year that include the eIDAS timestamp. Plan the foundation work early to avoid rushed supplier audits in 2027.

How does this compare to enterprise or low cost tools?

Enterprise platforms like Spherity and TrusTrace cover deep value chain mapping for large brands. Low cost self service tools cover QR creation. Hoken Pass covers the SME middle with guided templates, gap flags and Registry push without enterprise overhead.
