Check your readiness →

Every batterycarries a record.The EU will ask to see it.

From February 2027, every EV, industrial and LMT battery sold in the EU needs a Digital Product Passport. Vikka turns your product data into passports: compliant, verifiable, ready to scan.

Compliance is not a document. It's infrastructure.

Most compliance tools generate PDFs. Regulators don't want PDFs. They want live, per-unit, machine-readable records that follow a battery from the mine to its second life.

Vikka is built as infrastructure: one API that issues a passport for every unit you ship, keeps it current as the product moves through the world, and stands behind every claim with an append-only record.

One passport, five lives

Follow the battery.

The regulation follows a battery through its entire life. So does Vikka.

Phase 01Extraction

It begins in the ground.

Lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite. The regulation wants to know where they came from and at what cost. Vikka records origin and due-diligence data at the source, so provenance is a fact, not a claim.

Raw material originSupply-chain due diligenceCarbon footprint
Phase 02Assembly

Recorded as built.

The spec that leaves your line becomes the spec on record. Chemistry, capacity, recycled content, performance class: every Annex XIII field, captured at the source. API or CSV, your call.

Composition & chemistryCapacity & performanceRecycled content shares
Phase 03Distribution

Custody changes. The record doesn't.

Every handover, from exporter to importer to distributor, is appended to the passport's event log with time and location. An audit trail that can't be rewritten, only extended.

Chain of custodyGeolocated eventsAppend-only audit log
Phase 04Ownership

One scan. The whole truth.

Every passport ships with a GS1 Digital Link QR code, anchored to the product, not to us. Customers see safety and sustainability data in plain language. Regulators see everything the law requires. Same code.

Phase 05Second life

End-of-life is a market.

Recyclers scan the same passport to know exactly what's inside, and what's recoverable. State-of-health and dismantling data tell them what a pack is worth. The record completes.

The platform

The regulation,already read for you.

We encoded the EU Battery Regulation into software so you don't have to read 117 pages of legal text. Add your product data; Vikka tells you exactly what's missing, per battery, per market, per deadline.

74

Compliance rules, encoded

Every Annex XIII requirement mapped to a checkable rule, with a live completeness score per passport, not a green checkmark.

239

Deadlines, tracked

Obligations phase in differently by category and member state. Vikka knows which deadline applies to which battery, and warns you first.

06

Battery categories

EV, industrial, LMT, portable and more, each pre-configured with the fields its category demands. No blank-form guesswork.

30

Member states covered

One passport, valid across the EU and EEA. Market-specific requirements resolved automatically.

1:1

Per-unit, by design

The law requires a passport per battery, not per model. Vikka issues at unit scale: millions of passports, one API call each.

0

Proof without blockchain

Each passport keeps a permanent record that can be added to but never rewritten, and any change is mathematically detectable. The trust of blockchain, without the overhead. Your QR codes stay tied to the product, not locked to Vikka.
