Status

Key date

Who it affects

Manufacturers and importers of EV batteries and industrial batteries over 2 kWh sold on the EU market.

What it requires

From 18 February 2027, all covered batteries must carry a QR code linking to a Digital Battery Passport covering chemical composition, raw material origin, carbon footprint, lifecycle performance, and recycling instructions. The QR code must remain scannable and the data live for the battery's full service life.

How QRStandard helps

Print the QR once on the cell or pack. Update the destination URL as your battery passport platform evolves — no new labels, no reprinting. Audit trail logs every change for regulatory inspection. QRStandard is the redirect layer, not the data platform — positioning you as infrastructure-agnostic.

What you get

The infrastructure behind every compliant QR code

PrintOnce Redirect

Print once. Update forever.

The QR code is affixed to the product at the factory. The URL behind it is managed from your dashboard. Your documentation server changes — the code on the product does not.

Document Hosting

Upload your document. No server needed.

Attach a PDF manual, safety datasheet, or certificate directly to the QR code. No external hosting required — your document is stored in the EU and served instantly on scan.

Audit Trail

Every change logged for inspection.

Every destination change is recorded: timestamp, previous URL, new URL, and the user who made it. Export as CSV for regulatory inspection documentation in seconds. Immutable by design.

Bulk Generation

Thousands of codes. One CSV upload.

Upload serial numbers and destination URLs. Download a ZIP of print-ready QR codes. No per-scan fees — ever. No infrastructure to maintain on your side.
