Built for the deadlines that matter first.

Passports are rolling out product group by product group, through two legal tracks: the EU Battery Regulation and the ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030. We start with textiles and batteries — the nearest deadlines and two of India’s biggest export categories.

EU passport timeline

Almost every physical product sold in the EU will eventually need a passport. These are the confirmed early groups and their indicative dates.

Dates other than the battery passport are indicative and depend on when each delegated act is adopted. We track them so you don’t have to.

Our first focus

Textiles & apparel

ESPR (EU) 2024/1781 — textile delegated act

~2028Act expected 2026–27, enforcement from about 2028

Textiles are a top-priority EU product group, and Surat and Ahmedabad are among the world’s largest textile clusters. Passport data has to come from every stage — spinning, weaving or knitting, dyeing and finishing — which is exactly where supplier capture matters most.

Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542

18 Feb 2027Battery passport mandatory in the EU

The battery passport is the first DPP with a fixed date. It covers EV batteries, batteries for light means of transport (e-bikes, scooters) and industrial batteries over 2 kWh. India is also introducing its own QR-based battery passport framework, developed by NITI Aayog with the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways.

Iron, steel & aluminium

ESPR delegated acts — intermediate products

2026–2027Indicative adoption

Steel and aluminium are among the first intermediate products under ESPR. Passports here focus on material provenance, recycled content and carbon intensity — data that flows downstream into every product made from them.

Material identityGrade, batch and producer
Recycled contentShare of scrap and recovered material
Carbon intensityEmissions per tonne produced
SubstancesSubstances of concern where relevant
