The Digital Battery Passport is not a data problem you can solve with a spreadsheet

EU 2023/1542 requires a machine-readable, access-controlled passport for every qualifying battery. Here's what makes it hard.

Data doesn't exist — yet

Most operators lack 30–50% of the 70+ required attributes. The data lives in disconnected systems — or hasn't been collected at all.

The deadline is non-negotiable

February 2027. Implementing acts arrive August 2026 — leaving six months to adapt. Building from scratch is too slow.

Three-tier access control

Public, legitimate interest, and regulatory authorities — each requiring different data views, permissions, and audit trails. Not an afterthought.

Audit trail under scrutiny

Every data modification must be traceable, immutable, and retention-compliant. Regulators will examine the log, not just the output.

Lifecycle complexity

From raw material sourcing through manufacturing, use, and end-of-life — passport data spans the entire battery lifecycle and multiple stakeholders.

Integration, not isolation

Your ERP, MES, PLM, BMS, and IoT systems all hold pieces of the puzzle. A passport system that doesn't integrate with them is useless.

3 steps from assessment to deployment

Not SaaS. Not from scratch. A structured engagement that starts with your data, builds on a pre-built regulatory core, and adapts to your systems.

1

Data readiness assessment

Before a single line of custom code is written, we map your data landscape to the 70+ required attributes. We identify what exists, where it lives, what's missing, and what needs to change.
Most DBP failures are data problems, not software problems. This step de-risks the entire engagement.
Deliverable: Actionable readiness report with gap analysis, source mapping, and prioritized recommendations.

2

Start from a regulation-mapped foundation

The DBP Accelerator is a pre-built core system designed article-by-article around EU 2023/1542. It covers the regulatory data model, validation engine, completeness tracking, tiered access control, audit logging, QR code generation, and compliance dashboard.
You don't start from a blank page — you start from months of regulatory engineering already done.
Included: 70+ attribute data model, validation rules, three-tier access, audit trail, public passport + QR, compliance dashboard.

3

Adapted to your systems and deployed on your infrastructure

Every operator's data landscape is different — different ERPs, different MES, different formats, different internal workflows. A boxed product can't handle this. We adapt the Accelerator to your specific systems and data flows, then deploy on your cloud or on-premise.
Result: A fully functional DBP system on your infrastructure, integrated with your source systems, with full source code handover.

Full ownership. Zero lock-in.

Your compliance data stays on your infrastructure. You get the code. You control the roadmap.

Integration flexibility	Limited, API-only	Unlimited	Unlimited — adapted to you
Self-maintenance	Vendor-dependent	Your team from day 1	Your team + optional DataArt support

Purpose-built for regulatory compliance

Six layers — from upstream data sources to downstream consumers. Security and audit are architectural, not bolted on.

Why This Approach

Built for the way this regulation actually works.

Regulation-first architecture

Every feature maps to a specific article

The data model, access tiers, validation rules, and audit trail are derived directly from EU 2023/1542 — not adapted from a generic platform. The three access tiers are architectural, not bolted on.

Data-first engagement

Start with data, not code

The readiness assessment identifies gaps before development begins. SaaS vendors skip this step. Building from scratch, you'd discover gaps mid-project. We surface them first.

Protocol-agnostic ingestion

Connects to your systems as they are

REST, streaming, file upload, JSON-LD — the ingestion layer adapts to your data sources. No "export everything to our format" requirement.

Future-proof by design

Implementing acts land August 2026

Configurable access rules, extensible data models, and API-first architecture mean the system absorbs regulatory changes — including Catena-X interoperability requirements — without re-architecture.

The regulatory clock is running

Key milestones from regulation to enforcement.

Implementing acts finalized — detailed technical requirements locked

February 2027

Digital Battery Passport mandatory for all qualifying batteries

Common Concerns

Where is the data stored? Who controls the infrastructure?

You do. The system is deployed on your own cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) or on-premise. DataArt never hosts your data. After handover, your team has full administrative control — infrastructure, access, backups, everything.

Are there ongoing licensing or per-passport fees?

No. You pay for the engagement (assessment, development, deployment). Once delivered, the system is yours — no recurring license, no per-passport charge, no annual renewal. DataArt offers optional ongoing development and support if you need it.

Can our team maintain and evolve the system after handover?

Yes. You receive the full source code, documentation, and architecture guides. The system is built with standard, well-documented technologies — your engineering team can maintain, extend, and evolve it independently.

Implementing acts aren't finalized until August 2026 — should we wait?

Waiting is the highest-risk option. The core regulatory requirements (data model, access tiers, audit) are already defined. Implementing acts will refine technical details, not rewrite the regulation. The Accelerator's modular architecture is designed to absorb these changes. Starting now with a data readiness assessment means you're prepared to adapt quickly when the acts land.

Is the system Catena-X compatible?

The architecture is API-first and designed for interoperability. Catena-X data exchange protocols can be integrated as an output layer without re-architecting the core system. The extensible data model supports additional standards as they mature.

How long does the full engagement take?

Timeline depends on your data readiness and integration complexity. The data readiness assessment is the fastest way to get a concrete answer — it produces a scoped roadmap with realistic timelines. Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific situation.
