How to Run a Battery Passport Pilot Program in 30 Days

A battery passport pilot program de-risks your compliance investment before you rewire the entire production line. Thirty days is enough to go from zero to scan-validated passports on a real product SKU — if you follow a structured plan.

Week 1: Scope & Platform

• Select one EU-bound SKU (simplest chemistry, highest export volume)
• Sign up for PassCell Pilot
• Map SKU fields against Annex XIII checklist
• Identify top 3 supplier data gaps

Week 2: Data & Suppliers

• Request structured composition data from cell supplier
• Enter or import known fields via dashboard
• Draft carbon footprint placeholder (or full LCA if available)
• Allocate UID range for pilot batch (50–500 units)

Week 3: Generate & Print

• Create passports for pilot serial numbers
• Commit to public registry
• Export QR labels — test print on 5 units
• Scan every pilot QR from iOS and Android devices

Week 4: Review & Scale Plan

• Document errors and field gaps discovered
• Present scan results to leadership and EU importer
• Define MES/API integration scope for production rollout
• Set production go-live date before February 2027

Pilot Success Metrics

100% QR scan success rate. Zero duplicate UIDs. Importer sign-off on public disclosure fields. Supplier data template agreed for ongoing batches.
