EU Battery Regulation
Full-scope compliance support for EU 2023/1542 — covering carbon footprint, performance, due diligence, labelling, and Digital Battery Passport requirements.
What This Service Covers
The EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 sets requirements for batteries placed on the European market, covering carbon footprint, recycled content, performance and durability, labelling, due diligence and end-of-life management. From 18 February 2027, EV batteries, LMT batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh will also need a Digital Battery Passport. Any manufacturer or exporter placing these batteries on the EU market, including manufacturers based in India, is in scope. KaM delivers EUBR compliance in partnership with Kiwa.
Digital Battery Passport
From 18 February 2027, every EV battery, LMT battery and industrial battery above 2 kWh placed on the EU market needs a digital passport. It is an electronic record for each individual battery, reached through a QR code and linked to a unique identifier. There is one passport per battery, not per model.
A battery in scope cannot be placed on the market or put into service without a passport. The QR code is the easy part. The data behind it, per battery, is the real work.

EU Battery Regulation FAQ
Direct answers about eu battery regulation from KaM Auto specialists.
Does the EU Battery Regulation apply to Indian EV and battery companies?
Yes. The regulation applies to Indian EV, battery and battery-component manufacturers when their batteries are placed on the EU market, even if production happens outside Europe.
Is type approval enough for an EV entering Europe?
No. KaM Auto separates vehicle type approval from EU Battery Regulation compliance because an EV can need both: approval for the vehicle and EUBR evidence for the battery system.
What battery data should manufacturers prepare first?
KaM Auto helps manufacturers prioritise carbon footprint data, material sourcing evidence, performance and durability information, labelling inputs, due-diligence records, and Digital Battery Passport readiness.
What is EU Regulation 2023/1542?
EU Regulation 2023/1542 is the EU Battery Regulation. KaM Auto supports manufacturers with its carbon footprint, performance, durability, due diligence, labelling, and Digital Battery Passport obligations for batteries placed on the EU market.
Does EU 2023/1542 apply alongside UN Regulation 100?
Yes. UN Regulation 100 addresses EV high-voltage and rechargeable energy storage system safety for type approval, while EU 2023/1542 adds battery-specific market-access obligations. KaM Auto plans both workstreams where an EV enters Europe.
Which EU Battery Regulation requirement should EV battery teams prepare for first?
KaM Auto usually starts with EU 2023/1542 carbon footprint and traceability readiness because those requirements depend on supplier data, material declarations, lifecycle inputs, and evidence that can take time to collect.
