# Battery Passports, generated from your existing datasheets

> Battery passport ready before February 2027. Upload cell datasheets — TracePass fills 94 fields, requests the rest from suppliers, ships GS1-QR passports.

Upload the supplier datasheet. TracePass extracts 94 mandatory fields, cross-checks reference databases, requests the rest from the cell manufacturer, and publishes a GS1-compliant passport per unit.

## Who it's for

Cell manufacturers, pack assemblers, EV / e-bike / industrial-battery brands, and importers compiling DPPs for cells they don't build themselves.

## How TracePass helps

- AI reads your cell datasheets, SDS, and test certificates — fills chemistry, capacity, voltage, weight, and safety data automatically.
- Reference-database lookups for known cell models (Panasonic NCR18650B, Samsung, LG, CATL) prefill dozens of fields in seconds without you having to type them.
- Carbon-footprint defaults from Battery Pass Consortium / EU PEF fill CO₂e/kWh when you don't yet have a verified LCA — replace later without losing the passport.
- When a field is only the cell manufacturer's to know (scope-1 emissions, exact cobalt provenance), we email the supplier automatically from a token-linked portal. No back-and-forth spreadsheets.
- Batch-create up to 500 passports per run, with auto-generated serial numbers and per-unit QR codes ready for the production line.
- As an importer, upload one OEM datasheet and we create the DPP you're legally responsible for — even if the OEM abroad hasn't produced one.
- Every field has source + confidence + audit trail, so your internal QA can review before publishing.

## What the template covers

- Chemistry + cell format (NCA / NMC / LFP / 18650 / prismatic / pouch)
- Capacity, voltage, energy density, power capability
- Raw-material provenance (Li / Co / Ni / natural graphite)
- Carbon footprint kg CO₂e/kWh with method reference
- Recycled-content % per element (Co / Li / Ni / Pb)
- SVHC + hazardous-substance disclosure
- Performance + durability + end-of-life fields

## FAQ

### I have 2,000 cells to passport by next quarter. Can TracePass handle that?

Yes. Batch creation takes up to 500 passports per run; an import of 2,000 is four runs. Auto-generated serials, shared model fields, per-unit QR codes. The practical bottleneck is your datasheet availability, not the platform.

### We're an importer and our OEM hasn't given us CBAM / Battery Reg data. What now?

TracePass sends a token-linked data-request portal to the OEM on your behalf. They fill in the fields you're missing without needing an account. If they don't respond in 14 days we send an automatic reminder. You still own the passport and publish when ready.

### How does this plug into our existing ERP / PLM?

Two ways. (1) CSV bulk import with a category-specific template — any ERP can export that. (2) REST API on every plan (Free included; daily call cap only on Free and Basic, Starter and above unlimited) for direct integration. We don't build SAP connectors yet; your integrator writes the mapping once against our documented API.

### What if the regulation changes in 2026?

We track Battery Regulation delegated acts and update the 94-field template in place. Your existing passports stay valid; new fields appear as 'empty' and you decide when to fill them.

### Do you support EPCIS for multi-tier supply-chain traceability?

Yes — full GS1 EPCIS 2.0 (export, capture and query) included on every paid plan. Any passport's supply-chain, service, and ownership events serialise as a standards-valid EPCIS 2.0 document, advertised on the GS1 Digital Link QR so an EPCIS-aware system discovers the event history automatically. For multi-tier chains, the Capture interface lets your suppliers and ERP systems push events in, and our AI agent drafts events from datasheets for your review. Volume meter scales by tier (Basic 1k events/mo up to Pro 10M, unlimited on Enterprise). EPCIS is the recommended traceability vehicle for ESPR Article 5(5)(o).
