Annex XIII EV Battery Field Reference

Updated 2026-04Essential reading

Every Annex XIII data field for EV battery passports in EU Digital Passport Processor™. This reference shows the EU Digital Passport Processor™ label, regulatory source, data type, accepted format, example value, and whether the field is required or optional.

How to use this reference

This table lists every field in the EV battery passport creation wizard (Step 3 — Technical Data). Use it to prepare your data before entering it in EU Digital Passport Processor™, to validate CSV imports, or to understand what each field maps to in the regulation.

Fields marked Required must be completed before the passport can be activated. Fields marked Optional improve your compliance strength score but are not mandatory.
