By February 2027, battery manufacturers will need to label their batteries with a QR code that provides access to a battery product passport, including details regarding due diligence, carbon footprint and recycled content.
Implementing battery traceability throughout the battery production lifecycle tackles carbon emissions effectively from the start. Dassault Systèmes is a leading expert in battery traceability, reshaping the energy future through our deep expertise and platform-driven solutions.
For new power battery products, the code is 24 digits in total: For the products of step-by-step power battery, the code is 19 digits in total: The new power battery products have traceability information codes, while the cascade power battery products have no traceability information codes;
For the products of step-by-step power battery, the code is 19 digits in total: The new power battery products have traceability information codes, while the cascade power battery products have no traceability information codes; At the end of the step utilization power battery product, a 2-digit special step utilization code must be added.
It should be noted that for the cascade utilization products, the original power battery product code needs to be retained. The standard does not specify the information to be included in the traceability information code, nor does it unify the coding rules of this part of the code.
The battery recovery code itself is a series of numbers and letters combined with codes for managing power battery information collection during the collection, disassembly, classification, step utilization, metal recycling, resource regeneration, and waste disposal processes [ 70 ].
