Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 · Annex XIII · LMT batteries

Every data point a battery passport must carry

The passport is defined by a list of 71 data points, and the list is spread across an annex, a labelling annex it refers to, and an article that decides who may read what. 59 of them apply to the batteries that go into e-bikes, e-scooters and mopeds from 18 February 2027, and 49 of those are mandatory. This page is the index: one page per point of Annex XIII, each line with its legal source, its access level, and its own address.

The list, in five pages

One page per point of the annex

Each page opens with the answer, carries its own slice of the list with the legal source on every line, and says who may read it and on which authority. Every data point has its own address.

Annex XIII, point 1 · PublicWhat anyone sees when they scan the batteryThe 33 publicly accessible battery passport data points that open on a QR scan, with the legal source on each line and 30 of them mandatory for e-bike and e-scooter batteries from 18 February 2027.44 data points · 33 apply to an LMT battery Annex XIII, point 2 · RestrictedWhat repairers, remanufacturers and recyclers can readThe 5 battery passport data points reserved for repairers, remanufacturers, second-life operators and recyclers under Annex XIII point 2, with the dismantling information broken out item by item.5 data points · 5 apply to an LMT battery Annex XIII, point 3 · AuthoritiesWhat market surveillance authorities can readAnnex XIII point 3 of the EU battery passport: the single data point reserved for notified bodies, market surveillance authorities and the Commission, and the gap it leaves on the individual battery.1 data point · 1 applies to an LMT battery Annex XIII, point 4 · Legitimate interestWhat has to be recorded about each individual batteryThe 20 battery passport data points about the individual pack rather than the model: state of health, capacity and power fade, cycle count and negative events, under Annex XIII point 4.21 data points · 20 apply to an LMT battery The exclusionsWhat an LMT battery does not have to carry in February 2027The 12 Annex XIII data points an e-bike or e-scooter battery passport does not have to carry on 18 February 2027, each with the Commission's own reason for the exclusion.12 data points

The four levels

Who reads what, and on which authority

Article 77(2) assigns each point of Annex XIII to an audience. The public level is what opens on a scan. The other three open only to a reader the system has recognised.

Point 1 · PublicAnyone who scans the code. No login, no account.Art. 77(2)(a)

Point 2 · RestrictedNotified bodies, market surveillance authorities and the Commission, and repairers, remanufacturers, second-life operators and recyclers.Art. 77(2)(b) and (c)

Point 3 · AuthoritiesNotified bodies, market surveillance authorities, the Commission.Art. 77(2)(b)

Point 4 · Legitimate interestPersons with a legitimate interest, and the purchaser's agents for energy market access.Art. 77(2)(c)

Two things worth noticing

Where the article and the annex do not say the same thing

Both are visible only when Article 77(2) and the Annex XIII headings are read side by side. Neither is settled by the implementing act under Article 77(9), which was due on 18 August 2026 and has not been adopted.

Point 2 has two different audiences depending on where you read it

On what repairers, remanufacturers and recyclers can read →

Authorities are not given the data about the individual battery

On what market surveillance authorities can read →

Take it and cite it

The whole table, as a file you can keep

The same 71 rows this page renders, generated from the same source at the moment you ask for them, so the file and the pages cannot drift apart.

The file

/data-points/annex-xiii.csv

rows: 71
columns: 7
format: CSV, UTF-8, RFC 4180
licence: CC BY 4.0

Columns: n, annex_point, access_level, legal_basis, lmt_status, name, note. The provenance and the licence travel inside the file, as comment lines, so it stays attributed after it leaves this page.

If you use it, cite it as

European Commission, DG GROW (2026), processed by Stele Passport. “EU battery passport data points, Annex XIII, with LMT applicability”. Derived from Commission guidance version 2.0 of 15 August 2026. Stele Passport [Data set]. https://stele-passport.eu/data-points. Accessed [date].

The citation points at this page rather than at the file, because a citation should not fire a download. It asks for an access date for an honest reason: this table is maintained, so following the link later may not return exactly what you read. The version line is what pins it — version 1.0 of 28 July 2026 of the guidance is still cited in places, and it is not this one.

Why the count you saw elsewhere is different

Published figures for the size of the battery passport range from about fifty to about a hundred, and most of them are defensible. Three things move the number: whether sub-fields are counted separately or with their parent; whether the count is for electric-vehicle, industrial or LMT batteries, which have genuinely different obligations in both directions; and which version of the Commission’s guidance was read. 71 is what version 2.0 numbers, and this table keeps that numbering so a citation can be checked rather than believed.

What to do with the list

59 data points, one date, and a lead time in between

Collecting these is a project, and it runs against a date that does not move. The deadline page walks the legal chain article by article, and the price of carrying the list is published rather than quoted.

Why the date cannot move See these data points in a document

Data point numbers, names and the applicability column come from the European Commission guidance Digital Batteries Passport, data points by category, version 2.0 of 15 August 2026, European Commission, DG GROW, © European Union, 2026, reused under CC BY 4.0 (Commission page). Changes made: rows are regrouped by Annex XIII point, the electric-vehicle and industrial columns are omitted, and the access level is added; this version supersedes version 1.0 of 28 July 2026, which is still cited elsewhere. That document states that it is not the Commission’s official position, that it is not authoritative, and that the European Commission is not liable for any consequence stemming from the reuse of this publication; it is provided without warranties, as its own licence notice sets out. Reuse here does not imply that the Commission endorses this page. Legal references are to Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, consolidated text of 31 July 2025, CELEX 02023R1542, the version the guidance itself cites; access levels are those of Article 77(2).
