Certification mark for digital battery passport solutions
Scope:
The Mark applies to Digital Product Passport solutions supporting the creation, management and provision of Digital Battery Passports. The corresponding assessment covers regulatory, cybersecurity and interoperability requirements and is based on document checks as well as functional tests in a structured, auditable manner for professional use cases.
Basis of certification:
TÜV SÜD internal PPP for Digital Battery Passport solutions defining requirements, assessment method and evidence.
Key statements of the Mark:
Regulatory requirements
The Digital Product Passport solution supports the structured implementation of relevant regulatory requirements for the Digital Battery Passport and enables an auditable representation of required information. Evidence is assessed against the PPP to confirm completeness and consistency of the implemented approach. The certification provides independent confirmation that the solution is suitable to support compliance-oriented passport processes.
Cyber Security
The Digital Product Passport solution follows defined security principles to protect confidentiality, integrity and availability of passport-related data and interfaces. Security-related processes (e.g., vulnerability handling, updates, access control) are assessed based on the PPP. The Mark confirms that cybersecurity controls are implemented and evidenced at a level appropriate for the intended use.
Interoperability
The Digital Product Passport solution demonstrates defined interoperability characteristics regarding data exchange protocols, unique identifiers, data carriers, data storage, archiving and data persistence, APIs for the product passport lifecycle management and system interoperability as required by the PPP. Evidence is reviewed to ensure that core functions are sufficiently specified, tested and reproducible. The Mark confirms a structured approach to interoperability suitable for professional, audit-relevant applications.
