Annex XIII is not one flat table. It is a tiered access model with model level and instance level data.
Use the template below to build a schema that matches the Regulation and survives future lifecycle events.

The battery passport data model should be organized around access and lifecycle, not only around a list of fields. Article 77 and Annex XIII split the information into public data, legitimate interest data, authority only data, and individual battery data. If the schema ignores that structure, access control and update workflows become fragile.
The public layer should cover the Part A Annex VI information, chemistry and hazardous substances other than mercury, cadmium, or lead, critical raw materials, carbon footprint information, responsible sourcing information from the due diligence report, recycled content information, renewable content share, and key performance values such as rated capacity, voltage, power capability, expected lifetime, and warranty period.
This layer is the part most likely to be reused across customer portals, QR landing pages, and later product passport ecosystems.
Annex XIII point 2 covers the model data that should not be fully public. This includes detailed composition, replacement spare part contact details, dismantling information such as exploded diagrams and disassembly sequences, and safety measures.
Model this as a restricted dataset with granular field permissions instead of a single binary locked document.
Annex XIII point 4 covers the individual battery record. This includes performance and durability parameters when the battery is placed on the market and when its status changes, Article 14 state of health information, status values such as original or repurposed, and use generated data such as cycles, accidents, environmental conditions, and state of charge.
This is the layer that often forces teams to decide whether the passport is static or operational. The Regulation clearly expects it to be operational for in scope batteries.
For repurposed or remanufactured batteries, Article 77 requires a new battery passport linked to the original passport or passports. The data model must therefore support lineage. It must also support closure, because the passport ceases to exist after the battery is recycled.
Governance should cover field ownership, validation, update rights, and retention of historical changes.
