RADAR / Battery Passport
building18 FEB 2027
The deadline is fixed. The consumer experience isn’t.
WHY NOW
The regulation has a fixed application date, while the product experience and implementation layer are still taking shape.
Confirmed
- ✓ A battery-passport obligation applies to relevant categories from 18 February 2027.
Still unknown
- ? The final consumer experience across products.
NEXT TRIGGER
Implementation guidance or usable real-world passport data.
ZERIONIA VIEW
Product passports will matter when the data becomes useful at the moment a product is bought, repaired or recycled.
What would change our view
- Fragmented implementations users cannot access.
- Passport data remaining compliance-only rather than useful.
