Under the EU Battery Regulation, from 18 February 2027 electric-vehicle and industrial batteries placed on the EU market must carry a Digital Product Passport (DPP). Using software and AI, we help battery exporters become verified economic operators and get their compliance data in order — so they can go to market compliantly the moment the registration channel opens.
From 18 February 2027, traction batteries, batteries for light means of transport and industrial batteries above 2 kWh must carry a digital product passport to enter the EU market — no passport, no entry. The unique registration identifier of imported products is checked at the EU customs border. China Customs’ own newspaper put it bluntly:
If the code does not work, the goods do not clear customs.— China Customs newspaper, Chengdu Customs, 17 September 2026 (translated)
The official wording is explicit: registration does not constitute proof of compliance. The registry only validates format and structure; the real scrutiny happens at market surveillance. Clearing registration does not mean the goods are safe.
The registry stores only identifiers and an index; the passport data is held and maintained by the company itself. So the barrier is not filling in a form — it is end-to-end data governance: the data sits in PLM, MES, ERP and BMS, and carbon data has to be obtained from your suppliers.
Appointing a third party is possible, and the official wording recognises that route — but the same document states that the company’s legal responsibility is not transferred. Who does the work, and where liability sits, must be settled in the contract rather than with a promise that we take care of everything.

Before the mandatory date of 18 February 2027, every participant in the chain that ships batteries into the EU will need to go to market with a passport once the registration channel opens. The types of business we assist:
In-house design and production: you need VERIFIED status in your own name and must aggregate cell-level carbon footprint and material data.
Pack and system-level exports require chaining upstream cell data into a traceable product passport.
Not the producer, but as an economic operator you carry the same compliance responsibility — and need identity verification and data integration capability.
Where the OEM requires a DPP, you collect compliance data from upstream and connect to networks such as Catena-X.
The organisational verification channel is now open, so an entity can obtain VERIFIED status immediately; product registration must wait for the semantic catalogue and the API. We only offer the actions the regulation already permits — that is written on this timeline, and in the contract.
These two are not part of the 18 February 2027 batch — they are already in force. If you export to the EU, or are about to, we suggest checking them first. It is also the first thing we look at in a free diagnosis.
Every item is labelled with its status: available now, or after the channel opens. The boundary is transparent, and we make no promise that goes beyond the regulation.
We help exporters complete identity verification through an EU qualified trust service provider (eIDAS QSeal) to become a verified economic operator — this can start today, and a Chinese entity can do it remotely.
Available nowPlanning the data flow between PLM, MES, ERP and BMS, and building a GDPR and ISO foundation with ten-year retention and minimised disclosure.
Available nowAutomatic schema validation and gap identification with AI — unlike services that only supply a carrier and fill in forms by hand.
Available nowTechnical liaison with EU regulation and local compliance advice, with European partners covering both ends of the value chain.
Available nowData entry, generation of the JTC 24 UPI, and preparatory work on the PAdES signature chain, ready for submission.
Pilot work nowOnce the semantic catalogue opens, we support the whole chain: data aggregation, passport generation and submission.
After the channel opensMost passport fields are not about your own factory. They are about upstream: material composition, recycled content, carbon footprint, due-diligence records. That data sits with your suppliers, you have no contractual leverage over them, and you cannot spare anyone to chase each one. That part is ours — we write the request list, give your suppliers a template, chase them tier by tier, go back and re-ask when the numbers do not reconcile, and hand you the result in a submittable state. International platforms usually quote this as a separate line item, or hand you a portal and let your suppliers fill it in themselves. For a Chinese factory, with Chinese-speaking staff chasing it down to a submittable state — we have not found a second one doing it.
Available nowA product leaves a Chinese factory, crosses the ocean and reaches an EU port — it needs more than containers and a bill of lading. It needs a digital passport. We do not sell QR codes: from regulatory diagnosis and data architecture to the UPI, QSeal technical integration, economic-operator registration support and ongoing maintenance, what we deliver is the capability for a product to reach the EU compliantly.
Pass (to pass, a passport, to verify) plus Shore (to land, to arrive). Together they are our role: to carry products through the EU compliance gate with a verifiable digital passport, and land them safely.
PassShore is the EU compliance service brand of Shenzhen Baichuan Software Technology Development Co., Ltd. (unified social credit code 914403003594072614); we use the name PassShore externally.
We complete QSeal qualified electronic seal identity verification through eIDAS qualified trust service providers (QTSPs) — a mandatory prerequisite of the EU central DPP registry (live on 20 July 2026, governed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1778). We keep tracking the semantic catalogue, the registration API and the delegated act on registration service providers, so that a client’s verified identity can move straight into product registration once the channel opens, without being locked to a single supplier.
No exaggeration, no overreach, no misleading. We do not register in the EU on a client’s behalf and we do not pose as a regulator, and we separate testing from production registration as it truly is — what is possible today and what only becomes possible once the channel opens is always stated plainly.
Data architecture, UPI generation and QSeal integration can all be audited; AI-driven schema validation and gap detection replace manual form filling, and we are not tied to a single data carrier.
Diagnose first, spend later, advance in stages; no heavy platform. VERIFIED status can be obtained now — six months before the mandatory date of 2027-02-18.
Regulations change, and so does our service. Field definitions are synced once the semantic catalogue and delegated acts land, and data governance is recalibrated as the regulation evolves.
We keep tracking the legislative and ecosystem milestones of the EU battery DPP and the Digital Product Passport — the central registry, the harmonised standards, the access-rights delegated act, the data field guidance, and the Chinese side of the same rules. Every milestone we publish is tied to its official source, so that clients can check the original rather than take our word for it.
The dated milestone list is maintained on our Chinese pages. Each entry carries a written analysis, and every published line has to pass the same human review gate as the rest of our public material — so the list is not machine-translated into English. Open the milestone list ↗
Obtain a QSeal and become a VERIFIED economic operator (can start today).

Submit the registration once the channel opens; QSeal renewal and ongoing compliance.
QRemManage for QSealCD, meaning the provider runs the qualified seal creation device centrally in the cloud and the signatory needs no physical hardware), published prices range from €20 per year up to €5,600 in the first year — roughly a factor of 280. Providers also differ in what the figure includes — tax, a one-year or three-year term, whether the number of seals is unlimited, whether there is a one-off activation fee — so the headline numbers cannot be compared directly.
