Example

An example battery passport.

This is a passport for an electric-vehicle battery, from the software's own example data. The company, Musterzelle GmbH, is invented, and the page shows the data a company submits before it is signed, sorted the way a node shows it to each reader.

Some public values are placeholders. For passports from February 2027, the Commission's guidance says to leave the carbon footprint and the shares of recycled cobalt, lithium, nickel and lead empty until the rules for calculating and showing them apply. The software still asks for them, and that is being changed. Information on responsible sourcing is due from August 2027, so it is not shown here.

What this example is.

The fields and who may read them are the software's own, for a battery under the Batteries Regulation. The values are invented. A field the software does not list as restricted is shown publicly, which is why the public part is the largest.
