Advancing battery passport readiness by delivering a test environment
Co-funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the BatteryPass-Ready project aims to support the implementation of the EU battery passport by developing a test environment that helps companies validate the conformity of their digital product passport solutions. This test environment will help to assess compliance with key requirements, including data completeness, structure, and format, while also evaluating interaction between stakeholders - namely distributors, IT service providers, and European Commission systems. Building upon the foundational work of the Battery Pass consortium, BatteryPass-Ready will provide guidance for implementers and for policymakers.
