kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 is the Slovenian version of the CEN draft Technical Specification FprCEN/TS 18363 for road vehicles. It gives guidance on the digital battery passport data attributes for an electric vehicle battery (EV battery). The document tells economic operators what battery-model data, battery-specific data, and access levels belong in the battery passport.

What does kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 specify?

kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 specifies how to describe the data that belongs in a digital battery passport for an EV battery. It focuses on the meaning and structure of the data attributes, not on the digital system architecture behind the passport.

The document is organized into a short front part and the main clauses:

• Clause 1 Scope
• Clause 2 Normative references
• Clause 3 Terms and definitions
• Clause 4 Abbreviated terms
• Clause 5 Introduction to the battery passport
• Clause 6 EV battery passport content requirements
• Annex A - Normative list of data attributes
• Annex B - Informative data representation

The introduction also states that the document excludes the technical requirements for the architecture of the digital operating system of the battery passport.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Structured list of the data attributes for each access level
Annex B	Machine-readable data representation and an example structure

What are the key requirements of kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026?

kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 sets out how the battery passport is accessed, what data each audience can see, and which values are tied to the battery model or to one individual battery. In practice, this lets a company publish the right information to buyers, service providers, authorities, and other legitimate users without mixing up static model data and changing battery-state data.

Access, identification, and persistence

Clause 5.1 requires the battery passport to be accessible through a QR code that links to a unique identifier assigned by the economic operator that places the battery on the market. The QR code and identifier have to follow the ISO/IEC 15459 series or equivalent, and the information has to remain available over the battery life cycle through a persistent digital reference.

For users, this means the passport should stay reachable even if IT platforms change. For operators, it means the battery needs a stable identifier that can support traceability across sale, use, repair, and end-of-life handling.

Public battery-model information

Clause 6.1 lists the battery-model data that is accessible to the general public. It includes manufacturer identification, battery category, place and date of manufacture, weight, rated capacity, chemistry, hazardous substances, critical raw materials, carbon footprint information, recycled content, share of renewable content, voltage, original power capability, expected lifetime, storage temperature range, warranty period, and waste-handling information.

In practice, this is the data most buyers, fleet operators, recyclers, and compliance teams will check first. It tells them what the battery is, how it performs, what materials it contains, and what handling or environmental information needs to follow it.

Model data for legitimate interest and authorities

Clause 6.2 adds battery-model information that is only available to persons with a legitimate interest and the European Commission. This includes detailed composition for the cathode, anode, and electrolyte, part numbers and replacement-spare contacts, dismantling information, and safety measures.

This matters for repair, reuse, repurposing, and remanufacturing work. The document links these data to disassembly and spare-part support, so a technical user can plan service work and safe teardown instead of relying only on public summary data.

Authority-only technical documentation

Clause 6.3 requires technical documentation to be available on request to notified bodies or market surveillance authorities, and it includes a list of references to that documentation in the passport. The note points to prEN 18239 for access rights management, information system security, and business confidentiality.

For manufacturers and importers, this means the passport is not only a public label. It also acts as a pointer to the deeper evidence needed for conformity assessment and market surveillance.

Individual battery data and status changes

Clause 6.4 covers information for one specific battery, accessible only to persons with a legitimate interest. It requires a new battery passport when the battery status changes, except for repair without a significant performance change. It also allows dynamic updates when the vehicle can transmit the data remotely.

The clause requires performance and durability values at original placement on the market, then updated values after status changes: capacity, power, internal resistance, round-trip energy efficiency, lifetime, fade or increase values, and the Battery Identification Number. It also requires the State of Certified Energy (SOCE) and use history such as charging and discharging cycles, negative events, operating temperature, and state of charge.

In practice, this is the part that supports second-life decisions and degradation tracking. A buyer of a used battery can compare its current condition with its original state and judge whether it still fits the intended use.

Structured attribute listing and machine-readable form

Annex A requires each data item to be expressed in a structured form with a data name, attribute, value, and where relevant a unit. It also requires standardized formats such as numeric values, Boolean values, dates, and enumerated values.

That makes the passport suitable for databases and automated exchange, not just human reading. Annex B then provides a machine-readable example, including a JSON-style structure and support for multiple data sets.

What terms does kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 define?

kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 defines the main battery passport terms used throughout the document.

• Battery identification number - the unique character string that identifies a battery and can also link to the battery passport.
• Battery model - the version of battery units that share the same relevant technical characteristics and the same model identifier.
• Battery producer - the economic operator that first places batteries on the market under its own name or trademark, resells them under its own name, supplies them first in a Member State, or sells them directly by distance contract.
• Battery system - the energy storage device made up of cells or packs plus the electrical circuits and electronics around them.
• Electric vehicle battery (EV battery) - a battery designed to provide traction power for hybrid or electric vehicles.
• State of the battery - the battery’s historical and current use status, such as original, re-used, repurposed, remanufactured, or waste.
• State of Certified Energy (SOCE) - the certified usable battery energy performance at a point in the battery life, expressed as a percentage.
• Energy round trip efficiency - the ratio between energy delivered on discharge and the energy needed to restore the initial state of charge.

Who uses kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026?

kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 is used by companies and authorities that create, check, or use EV battery passport data.

Typical users include:

• battery manufacturers and other economic operators placing batteries on the market
• vehicle manufacturers that integrate EV batteries into vehicles
• importers and distributors
• repair, reuse, repurposing, and remanufacturing operators
• notified bodies and market surveillance authorities
• the European Commission
• buyers, fleet managers, and compliance teams that need battery-model data
• recyclers and waste-battery handlers that need end-of-life and safety information

In practice, these users need the standard to decide what to publish, what to keep restricted, how to update a passport after a status change, and what evidence must be ready for checks or audits.

Which standards are used with kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026?

kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 refers to several standards that support the data definitions and passport content:

• EN 18060 - provides the performance and durability methods used for capacity, power, lifetime, internal resistance, round-trip efficiency, C-rate, and fade-related values.
• EN 18061 - provides the steps, conditions, and protocols for safe repair, re-use, preparation for repurposing, dismantling information, part numbers, and safety measures.
• ISO/IEC 15459-1 to ISO/IEC 15459-6 - support the QR code and unique identifier used to access the battery passport.
• EN 2:2004 - is used for classifying the usable extinguishing agent.
• prEN 18239 - is cited for access rights management, information system security, and business confidentiality.

What does the kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 document contain?

kSIST-TS FprCEN/TS 18363:2026 contains a full list of passport data attributes grouped by access level, plus examples of how to represent them in structured form. Annex A breaks the data into public battery-model information, restricted battery-model information, authority-only technical documentation, and individual battery data.

The annex tables show which items are static and which ones change with battery status or use. Annex B gives a machine-readable model of the data, including a JSON-style example for lifetime data and support for multiple material data sets through an API-style structure.

The document also includes references to information on carbon footprint, due diligence, dismantling, safety measures, state of health, and use history. That makes it a practical data map for building and checking an EV battery passport across the battery life cycle.

European foreword
This document (FprCEN/TS 18363:2026) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 301 “Road
vehicles”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the Vote on TS.
Introduction
The European regulation 2023/1542 requests each individual EV battery placed on the market or put
into service to have an electronic record (‘battery passport’). The battery passport contains information
relating to the battery model and information specific to the individual battery, including resulting from
the use of that battery.
This document transfers the actual and anticipated legal requirements into definitions of data points and
provides a guidance for application to responsible economic operators implementing the battery
passport for an EV battery.
The requirements given reflect the current best knowledge and might be subject to change due to further
delegated and implementing acts issued in due course. In addition to the requirements mandated by the
EU Battery Regulation, this document builds on the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation and
further regulatory requirements to highlight the harmonization need.
This document provides a guidance to have a common understanding about the meaning of the different
data required by the battery passport for an EV battery.
Each operator can include additional parameters.
As the document focuses on the data attributes, it excludes technical requirements for the architecture of
the digital “operating system” of the battery passport, which are addressed within the working group
CEN/CLC JTC 24.

5 Introduction to the battery passport
5.1 Battery passport access
The battery passport shall be accessible through a QR code which links to a unique identifier that the
economic operator placing the battery on the market shall attribute to it.
The QR code and the unique identifier shall comply with ISO/IEC 15459-1:2014, ISO/IEC 15459-2:2015,
ISO/IEC 15459-3:2014, ISO/IEC 15459-4:2014, ISO/IEC 15459-5:2014 and ISO/IEC 15459-6:2014 or
their equivalent.
NOTE 1 This QR code is referred to in Article 13(6) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
NOTE 2 The harmonization of battery passport access is subject of a standardization request and treated by
CEN/CLC JTC 24.
For a battery that has been subject to preparation for re-use, preparation for repurposing, re-use,
repurposing or remanufacturing, the responsibility for the new digital battery passport shall be
transferred to the new economic operator that has placed that battery on the market or has put it into
service. Such battery shall have a new battery passport linked to the battery passport or passports of the
original battery or batteries.
For the purposes of the battery passport, information shall be made available through a persistent digital
reference, ensuring durability, accessibility over the full life cycle of the battery, and independence from
changes in private IT infrastructures.
