The German Institute for Standardization (DIN) and the German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (DKE) have published a new standard to help companies implement the mandatory EU-wide digital battery passport, which comes into effect in February 2027.
The standard, DIN DKE SPEC 99100, “Requirements for Data Attributes of the Battery Passport,” provides practical guidance for the passport, which will document data along battery life cycles to help compare their performance.
DIN DKE SPEC 99100 defines data attributes to be included in the digital battery passport based on requirements by the EU Battery Regulation as well as voluntary additions.
The Battery Pass consortium has also published an updated and aligned version of the “Data attribute longlist” on its website, where requirements can be filtered by different battery categories.
