Passport-as-a-service for the batteries the enterprise vendors skip.
CellHash exists because Europe has battery passport vendors and almost all of them sell to enterprises. The e-bike brand with twelve people, the storage maker with eighty and the importer with a spreadsheet per shipment face the same date and the same six duties, with no compliance team and no affordable option. We are building the option.
Compliance infrastructure, not a dashboard.
A system that turns messy battery data into compliance-ready battery passports, and then takes on the two duties software alone cannot: registering the identifier and hosting the record as authorised operator for as long as the law requires.
| CellHash is | CellHash is not |
|---|---|
| Compliance infrastructure for the battery ecosystem | A dashboard or visualisation tool |
| A regulation engine that treats each jurisdiction's rules as configuration | An IoT platform |
| A single source of truth for battery lifecycle data | A battery management system |
| The producer, registrar and host of the passport artefact | A supply-chain management tool; it consumes supply-chain data |
Four principles, from the business plan.
No system replacement
Upload a bill of materials, get the gap list, publish the passport. Your ERP, PLM and BMS stay where they are; CellHash consumes their exports.
Education-led
Most of the companies that carry the duty do not yet know it. We work through the associations, test labs and GS1 member organisations they already listen to, and we publish what we learn.
Price transparency
Only four of nine European platforms publish a price. We publish ours, because a company that must comply on a fixed date should not have to book a sales call to learn what it costs.
Registration on your behalf
eIDAS onboarding and registry mechanics are our problem, not yours. We register as authorised operator and keep the proof.
Pre-launch. Building for 18 February 2027.
The platform is specified: multi-tenant architecture, a universal battery data model, the regulation-pack schema, fourteen modules, the API surface and the security model. The Article 77 build adds the Commission's 71 data points, the four Annex XIII tiers, EN 18219 identifiers, EN 18220 QR codes, the registry connector and EU-resident hosting. Design partners from e-bike, light transport and storage run it on their own data before launch.
- Q4 2026Build: EU passport core, registry integration, EU-resident hosting, design partners
- 18 Feb 2027Launch: first paying accounts on the day Article 77 applies
- 2027Self-serve onboarding, Catena-X exchange, due-diligence module, GB delta pack
- 2028Recycled-content documentation, recycler and repairer access, conformance to all eight JTC 24 standards

Where our numbers come from.
Every figure on this site is taken from a named primary source: the Regulation text on EUR-Lex, the Commission's battery passport pages, gov.uk and Hansard, ACEA, SMMT, European Cycling Industries, SolarPower Europe, the Battery Pass consortium and the vendors' own published prices. Market figures carry their date and source under them. Where we derive a figure, we say so.
Nothing here is legal advice. The Regulation text is the authority, and the delegated and implementing acts still pending can change what a passport must contain.
