Reputational Damage: Significant negative impact from public/investor awareness of non-compliance. Audit Failures: Failing regulatory checks, leading to immediate consequences. Inability to Prove Compliance: Lack of verifiable, tamper-proof evidence for regulators. Risk of Severe Penalties: Crippling fines, EU sales bans.

Streamline Compliance with DataArt’s Battery Passport Accelerator

As EV supply chain participants face tighter EU regulations, they need to efficiently track and manage battery lifecycles.

DataArt's Battery Passport Accelerator Program offers scalable and secure solutions to consolidate battery lifecycle data and ensure compliance to EU regulations. Our Battery Passport solutions use pre-built components for a quicker, risk-reduced setup and enable smother integration into client's IT ecosystem.

A New Era of EV Battery Legislation in the EU

The Battery Passport is mandated as part of the European Union’s initiative to promote a pivotal shift toward transparency, sustainability, and circularity across the battery value chain through Digital Product Passports (DPP).
Starting February 2027, all batteries used in vehicles sold in the EU must have a Digital Battery Passport, a tamper-proof digital record that traces the full lifecycle of a battery—from raw material sourcing through use to reuse, dismantling, and recycling. It tracks both static and dynamic battery data, encompassing materials, usage, and recycling processes.

European Union Battery Regulation 2023

The regulation establishes new standards for disclosing carbon footprint, recycled materials, and performance metrics.

Right-to-Repair Directive 2024

It aims to ensure affordable repairs and extend product lifespans. A repairability index will likely be introduced EU-wide.

Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) 2024

Currently in development, it is expected to apply ecodesign principles—durability, energy efficiency, and repairability—to batteries.

Key Challenges the Battery Passport Brings

Non-compliance is not an option. Without compliance with the EU Battery Passport regulation, companies risk blocked EU market access, significant fines, sales disruptions, and severe reputational damage

Compliance Risks

Reputational Damage: Significant negative impact from public/investor awareness of non-compliance.
Audit Failures: Failing regulatory checks, leading to immediate consequences.
Inability to Prove Compliance: Lack of verifiable, tamper-proof evidence for regulators.
Risk of Severe Penalties: Crippling fines, EU sales bans.

Sustainability Pitfalls

Inability to Support Sustainability Claims (Risk of Greenwashing): Lack of traceable data to back up marketing, ESG reports, or regulatory submissions.
Data Gaps for ESG Reporting: Struggle to collect required battery data (carbon footprint, recycled content, ethical sourcing) reliably and consistently.
Reputational Damage: Negative press, investor backlash, or customer boycotts due to poor performance or misleading data.
Missed Circular Economy Opportunities: Difficulty identifying/managing batteries for second-life or recycling due to a lack of data, leading to waste and lost value.

Supply Chain Complexity

Inconsistent Supplier Data: Receiving unusable or incompatible data that requires rework or causes downstream issues.
Supplier Inability to Provide Data: Suppliers lacking the capability or processes to share the required passport information.
Lack of Standardized Data Formats/APIs: Dealing with dozens of different supplier systems and data structures.
Poor Traceability: Difficulty tracking specific battery batches or components through the supply chain.

Operational Disruption

Production Disruptions: Implementing passport data collection, causing line stoppages or reduced Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
Incomplete Passport Data: Sending faulty manufacturing data, leading to customer complaints, chargebacks, or loss of business.
Mismatched Battery IDs: Errors linking production data (test results, materials) to the specific unit, invalidating the data packet.
High Cost/Complexity of Integrating Data Collection: Significant investment or difficulty integrating passport data capture with existing MES/automation systems.

IT Integration Challenges

Passport System Integration Nightmare: Extreme complexity integrating the passport platform with diverse systems handling related battery/vehicle data.
Data Security Vulnerabilities: Risk of breaches revealing sensitive battery composition, performance, supplier, or VIN-linked passport information.
Passport Data Quality Issues: Poor integration, transformation errors, or system bugs corrupting or losing critical passport data elements.
Delays & Cost Overruns: Risk of the complex passport system implementation exceeding budget/timelines due to technical challenges.

DataArt's Battery Passport Accelerator: Your Fast-Track to Compliance

Accelerated Time-to-Compliance & Deployment

Leveraging pre-built foundational components—core data models, proven architecture, common API structures, compliance check frameworks—significantly reduces the initial development time.
This directly addresses the critical need to meet strict EU Battery Regulation deadlines, minimizing the risk of non-compliance penalties and market access issues.

Reduced Implementation Risk

The solution is based on proven architectures, best practices, and previously tested components, reducing the technical risks associated with building complex systems (scalability, security, core functionality) from zero.
Common implementation patterns are templated, lowering the risk of connecting to standard enterprise systems (like common ERP or PLM APIs).

Lower Development Costs & Predictable Budgets

By reusing existing frameworks, teams can minimize time spent on non-differentiating platform components, allowing greater focus on customization and integration. This not only accelerates delivery but also improves project scoping accuracy and budget predictability.

Built-In Best Practices from Day One

DataArt Battery Passport accelerator embeds industry knowledge on data management, security standards, specific regulatory interpretations (as understood at the time), and scalable architectures. avoiding potential common pitfalls.

Focus on High-Value Differentiation

Integrating deeply with the client's specific, complex IT ecosystem.
Developing tailored workflows for their specific warranty, service, and end-of-life processes.
Building custom analytics and dashboards that leverage the client’s unique blend of passport, telematics, and service data.

Leverages Proven Experience & Track Record

The accelerator program is built upon DataArt's direct experience and successful delivery of similar complex data management and compliance solutions.
By anticipating common challenges, the accelerator's design instills confidence in clients, reducing the risk of unforeseen issues encountered in fully customized projects.
