Industry challenges

The three biggest hurdles for battery manufacturers:

  1. Supply chain transparency: raw-material data often comes from four or more countries - structured data is frequently missing.
  2. CO2 footprint per kWh: for the first time a precise, EU-harmonised calculation method across the life cycle is required.
  3. Access levels: the Batteries Regulation defines four data levels - from public through legitimate interest and market surveillance to individual-battery data - each with a different depth of data. This has to be technically representable.

What goes in the DPP for Batteries?

The key data fields required by the relevant EU regulation.

Electrical characteristics

Capacity, voltage, rated power, expected charge cycles and internal resistance.

Chemical system

Proportions of lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, lead. Recycled content stated separately.

Due diligence

Conflict-minerals evidence under EU Regulation 2017/821.

Disassembly & recycling

Safety information, disassembly steps, collection details per region.

Transpareo for Batteries

Transpareo provides the data structure in which you can represent the required fields of the EU Batteries Regulation. Individual fields can be released selectively per plan or user group - for example supply chain details for authorised partners. You maintain master and supply chain data via the admin interface, by Excel import or via the API.

  • Required fields under the EU Batteries Regulation prepared as curated data fields
  • API keys for partners and authorities with granular permissions and an IP allow-list
  • CO2 and recycled-content data storable as structured fields
  • Multilingual safety information via automatic translation
