Was ist der Batteriepass?

Der Batteriepass ist ein digitaler Produktpass, der alle relevanten Daten einer Batterie über ihren gesamten Lebenszyklus hinweg dokumentiert – darunter Herkunft der Rohstoffe, Produktionsinformationen, CO₂-Fußabdruck, technische Leistungsdaten, Nutzungshistorie und Recyclingfähigkeit.

Wer muss den Batteriepass bereitstellen?

Verantwortlich für die Bereitstellung sind die Inverkehrbringer – also Hersteller, Importeure oder Händler, die eine Batterie erstmals in der EU auf den Markt bringen. Weitere Akteure der Wertschöpfungskette (z. B. Rohstofflieferanten, Recycler) müssen Daten zuliefern, damit der Pass vollständig ist.

Ab wann ist der Batteriepass Pflicht?

Der digitale Batteriepass wird ab dem 18. Februar 2027 für alle betroffenen Batterien in der EU verpflichtend.

Für welche Batterien gilt die Pflicht?

Die Pflicht betrifft alle Batterien mit mehr als 2 kWh Kapazität, die ab dem 18. Februar 2027 in der EU in Verkehr gebracht werden. Dazu gehören Traktionsbatterien (z. B. in Elektrofahrzeugen), Industriebatterien über 2 kWh sowie Batterien in leichten Verkehrsmitteln, sofern sie die 2-kWh-Grenze überschreiten.

Welche Informationen enthält der Pass?

Die Norm DIN DKE SPEC 99100 definiert über 100 Attribute, u. a.: Produkt- und Herstellerdaten; chemische Zusammensetzung und kritische Rohstoffe; CO₂-Fußabdruck; Leistungsdaten (z. B. State of Health); Lieferketten- und Compliance-Informationen; Daten zur Kreislaufwirtschaft und Recyclingfähigkeit.

Muss der Batteriepass zyklisch aktualisiert werden?

Ja. Die Norm definiert dynamische Attribute, die bei bestimmten Ereignissen aktualisiert werden müssen – z. B. bei Unfällen, Tiefentladungen oder Änderungen des Batteriezustands. Der Battery Data Hub unterstützt diese Aktualisierung über offene APIs und protokolliert alle Änderungen nachvollziehbar.

Wie unterstützt der Batteriepass Recycling und Second-Life?

Der Batteriepass liefert transparente Daten zu Chemie, Zustand und Nutzungshistorie. Diese Informationen ermöglichen effizientere Demontage, höhere Rückgewinnungsquoten und fundierte Second-Life-Bewertungen (z. B. stationäre Speicher).

Wie wird der Batteriepass bereitgestellt?

Der Pass wird digital über eine zentrale Plattform bereitgestellt. Der Zugriff erfolgt typischerweise über einen QR-Code auf dem Batterietypenschild, der zur digitalen Produktakte führt.

Wer darf auf die Informationen aus dem Batteriepass zugreifen?

Die EU-Batterieverordnung definiert gestufte Zugriffsebenen für die EU-Kommission, die Öffentlichkeit, Notified Bodies und Marktteilnehmer mit berechtigtem Interesse. Der Battery Data Hub unterstützt diese feingranulare Berechtigungssteuerung.

Welche Konsequenzen drohen bei Nichtbereitstellung?

Batterien dürfen nicht in Verkehr gebracht werden, wenn sie nicht den Anforderungen der EU-Batterieverordnung entsprechen. Weitere mögliche Folgen sind Bußgelder, die von den EU-Mitgliedstaaten national festgelegt werden, Lieferkettenrisiken, da Geschäftspartner konforme Passdaten verlangen, Rückrufe oder Nachrüstpflichten sowie Reputationsschäden durch fehlende Transparenz und Compliance.

Welche Vorteile bietet der Batteriepass für Unternehmen?

Der digitale Batteriepass unterstützt Unternehmen dabei, die Anforderungen der EU-Batterieverordnung sicher zu erfüllen und schafft gleichzeitig strategische Mehrwerte: rechtssichere Compliance durch vollständige Datendokumentation, Transparenz über Herkunft, Materialien, CO₂-Fußabdruck und Nutzung, verbesserte Datenqualität für ESG-Berichte und Audits, Unterstützung der Kreislaufwirtschaft, Wettbewerbsvorteile durch nachweisbar nachhaltige Lieferketten und höheres Vertrauen bei Kunden, Partnern und Behörden.
