Battery Passport 2027: 71 EU data points

Battery Passport 2027: turn the 71 data points into a governed process.

The European Commission published updated guidance bringing together 71 data points and showing their applicability to EV, LMT and industrial batteries. The business task is not to fill in a webpage: it is to define the source, owner, evidence, access rule and update process for each data point.

At a glance

The Commission guidance brings together 71 data points and their legal sources.
For each battery category it indicates whether a data point is mandatory, optional, conditional or not required to be completed/displayed as of February 2027.
The scope covers EV, LMT and industrial batteries subject to the Battery Passport requirement.
The guidance supports preparation but does not create new legal requirements or replace Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and applicable acts.

Operational impact

The guidance makes data readiness much more concrete. Companies can now build a compliance matrix linking each data point to the battery category, legal source, business system, supplier or internal owner, supporting evidence and access level.

The NexusDpp 71-data-point matrix

Dimension	Operational question	Expected output
Applicability	Is the field required for EV, LMT or industrial batteries?	Rule by category and regulatory version
Source	Where is the data generated?	ERP, PLM, BMS, supplier, laboratory or document
Owner	Who provides and maintains it?	Assigned role and responsibility
Evidence	What supports the value?	Certificate, report, attachment or system record
Access	Who can view or use it?	Public, authority, notified body or authorised party
Lifecycle	Is it static or does it change in use?	Version, event and update frequency

Translate the data set into workflow

Classify the battery and economic operator role.
Load the applicable data-point matrix.
Assign each field to an internal or supply-chain owner.
Request evidence where traceability is required.
Validate and approve before publication and registration.
Maintain lifecycle updates where information changes over time.
