Does the battery passport obligation apply to you?
Four questions against the scope gate in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Article 77: what you place on the market, whether it clears the capacity threshold, whether it is placed on the EU market, and which economic operator role you hold.

Cases the check does not decide for you
These sit at the edge of the scope definition. They are recorded here rather than asked about, so the tool does not imply it has settled them.
If an industrial battery has a rated capacity of exactly 2 kWh or below, it is out of scope. The threshold is "exceeding" 2 kWh, so 2.0 kWh is out and 2.1 kWh is in.
Batteries repurposed for a second use — for example an EV battery repurposed for stationary storage — are in scope where the repurposed battery falls into an in-scope category. The economic operator who repurposes the battery takes on the passport obligation.
A battery embedded in a product, such as an EV battery in a vehicle, is in scope where the battery itself meets the category definition. The requirement applies to the battery, not to the vehicle.
The obligation date applies to when the battery is placed on the EU market. A battery manufactured in December 2026 but placed on the EU market in March 2027 needs a registered passport.
This is a readiness aid, not a legal interpretation of the regulation. For formal advice, consult your regulatory counsel. The economic operator placing the battery on the EU market remains legally responsible for the accuracy and availability of the passport.
