Annex XIII, point 1 · Public

What anyone sees when they scan the battery

Anyone who scans the QR code on an LMT battery pack reaches point 1 of Annex XIII, with no login and no account: 33 of the 44 data points the Commission numbers under this point apply from 18 February 2027, and 30 of those are mandatory. They are the identity of the manufacturer and of the pack, where and when it was made, its weight, capacity and chemistry, the hazardous substances it contains, the extinguishing agent that works on it, and the critical raw materials above 0,1 % by weight. The grant is Article 77(2)(a), and this point also absorbs Annex VI Part A, the content of the label itself.

Every line is addressable: the reference number in the first column is the Commission’s own numbering, and /data-points/public#dp-1 opens this page on 1 data point 1.

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.

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).
