EU Battery Passport QR Plates for Industrial and EV Batteries
Custom EU Battery Passport QR Plates
Durable engraved metal QR plates for industrial batteries, electric vehicle batteries, battery packs, energy-storage systems, and OEM identification programs.
Beginning February 18, 2027, the EU Battery Regulation introduces battery-passport and QR-code provisions for certain covered batteries. We manufacture the physical plate that carries your customer-supplied QR code, unique identifier, and approved marking content. Your organization or battery-passport provider remains responsible for the digital passport, source data, placement requirements, and final approval.

Metal QR plates for battery identification and digital passport access
A permanent metal data carrier can help keep the QR code and battery identifier attached to the battery enclosure through handling, installation, storage, and service. Every project can be produced from one shared layout or as a variable-data batch with a different QR code and identifier on every plate.
Standard customer-supplied QR tag formats
For projects that fit an existing 1" × 3" format, these customer-supplied QR and Data Matrix tag listings provide a direct ordering path. You supply and approve the code destination and engraving data; we manufacture the physical metal tags. These options do not include Connected Metal Tags software.
Need a larger QR code, different plate size, custom hole pattern, adhesive backing, expanded battery data, or a unique layout? Request a custom battery passport plate quote.
Who these plates are designed for

- Battery-passport software and traceability providers
- Contract manufacturers, integrators, and label-conversion partners
Recommended sizes and materials
| Format | Typical use | Material options |
|---|---|---|
| 2 × 2 in | Compact QR-first identification plate | .040 in aluminum or 20-gauge 304 stainless steel |
| 3 × 2 in | QR code plus short identifier and scan instruction | .040 in aluminum, standard 304 stainless, or brushed 304 stainless |
| 4 × 3 in and custom | QR code plus expanded battery or manufacturer data | Quoted to suit the application |
Stainless steel is a strong starting point for rugged indoor and outdoor equipment. Aluminum is lighter and economical for many enclosure applications. Material, finish, contrast, plate thickness, and mounting method should be selected for the actual surface and environment.
Mounting options
- Industrial adhesive backing for clean, compatible flat surfaces
- Two mounting holes
- Four corner mounting holes
- No holes or adhesive for customer-specified installation
- Custom holes, slots, or geometry by quote
The customer selects and approves the fastening method. For rivets, screws, or adhesive, suitability depends on the battery enclosure, environment, electrical design, galvanic compatibility, and service requirements.
What can be engraved
- Customer-supplied QR code
- Unique battery or product identifier
- “BATTERY PASSPORT” or customer-approved heading
- “SCAN QR CODE” or another short instruction
- Manufacturer name or logo
- Model, chemistry, rated capacity, voltage, manufacturing date, or other approved data
- Sequential numbering, serialized batches, and variable QR codes
QR code and variable-data workflow
- Send a vector QR file for a single plate, or a CSV/spreadsheet with one destination or identifier per row for a batch.
- Send the approved wording, logo, dimensions, material, finish, and mounting specification.
- We prepare a digital proof or first-article sample for approval.
- We engrave the approved physical plate layout and can perform a production scan check.
Preferred artwork includes SVG, EPS, AI, or print-quality PDF. High-resolution PNG may also work. For variable batches, include the identifier and QR destination assigned to each plate. The QR destination should be the final customer-controlled URL whenever possible.
Custom and bulk battery passport plate quotes
This product is well suited to RFQ purchasing because QR content, serialization, materials, mounting, and production quantities vary by program. We can quote prototypes, first articles, recurring batches, and custom layouts. Customers may also send a PDF or specification package when the standard layout does not include enough information.

Frequently asked questions
What is an EU battery passport QR plate?
It is a physical plate carrying a QR code or identifier that links to a customer-managed digital battery record or passport. We manufacture the plate; we do not create or certify the electronic passport.
Which batteries are associated with the 2027 battery passport provisions?
The EU Battery Regulation includes battery-passport provisions for specified categories, including electric-vehicle batteries, light-means-of-transport batteries, and industrial batteries above the stated capacity threshold. Customers should confirm the rules, dates, classification, marking content, and placement that apply to their product and market.
Can stainless steel be used for a battery passport QR code?
Yes. Engraved stainless steel can provide a durable, high-contrast physical data carrier. Scan performance still depends on code size, cell size, contrast, finish, viewing conditions, mounting location, and the customer’s QR data.
Can every plate have a different QR code?
Yes. We can produce variable-data batches from an approved spreadsheet, database export, or file set, with a unique QR code and identifier on each plate.
Do you provide the battery passport platform or compliance certification?
No. We manufacture custom physical plates from customer-supplied and customer-approved information. The customer or its designated passport provider controls the digital record and determines the applicable requirements.
Can you make a custom layout?
Yes. Send your PDF, drawing, artwork, data-field list, or program specification. We can quote custom sizes, shapes, mounting patterns, logos, extra text, and serialized production.
