EU DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORT · 2027

Make the DPP problem that may affect your catalogue visible

From 18 February 2027 all batteries covered by the EU Batteries Regulation must carry a QR code. LMT, EV and industrial batteries above 2 kWh also require an electronic battery passport. Digital Product Passports will then expand in phases to other product groups.

01

What problem do we expose?

Many webshops do not know which products contain batteries, which category actually needs a passport, where source data must come from, or whether QR, identifier, passport link and evidence resolve to the same model. This is a catalogue and data problem, not merely another webpage.

02

Why start now?

Product data often comes from multiple suppliers and is split across PIM, ERP, documents and webpages. Waiting until 2027 creates a rush to classify products, obtain missing manufacturer data, connect identifiers and test QR routes.

03

What does the EU require?

  • ✓ All batteries: QR marking from 18 February 2027.
  • ✓ LMT, EV and industrial batteries above 2 kWh: electronic battery passport from that date.
  • ✓ Passport data must be accurate, current, structured, machine-readable and interoperable without vendor lock-in.
  • ✓ Annex XIII separates public from restricted-access information.
  • ✓ Other DPP groups follow through product-specific ESPR rules; not everything is automatically mandatory in February 2027.
04

What does Merqivio check?

  • ✓ Battery and product-group signals on public product pages.
  • ✓ Likely QR-only or battery-passport scope.
  • ✓ Public QR, passport-link and unique-identifier signals.
  • ✓ Model/manufacturer, chemistry, capacity, voltage, sustainability, conformity and waste information.
  • ✓ Machine readability and traceability where publicly demonstrable.
  • ✓ Exact products, URLs and evidence only in the paid report.

What does this cost elsewhere?

Full DPP platforms do more than a scan, so this is not like-for-like. Public prices range, for example, from about €149/month for a battery-passport platform to about €520/month; enterprise vendors also quote implementation and annual fees in the thousands. Prices can change.

Why Merqivio costs less

Merqivio sells the diagnosis first: URL-first, deterministic rules, a full external catalogue scan and downloadable report. No expensive platform subscription merely to discover the gaps. Creating, hosting or registering a real passport may still require a specialist provider afterwards.
