The service or platform layer that operates battery-passport workflows, including hosting, processing, access management, and delivery infrastructure.
Battery passport service / battery passport platform names the service or platform layer around the regulated passport record. It operates battery-passport workflows and can make them usable, but it is not the passport record itself and does not become the economic operator responsible for the product.
This is a Minespider-defined implementation concept supported by ESPR and EU Battery Regulation passport architecture, not a standalone official definition. Use it to explain infrastructure around the regulated passport object while keeping the legal responsibility of the economic operator and manufacturer separate from the service layer.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries
if the data included in the battery passport are stored or otherwise processed by operators authorised to act on behalf of the economic operator responsible for the fulfilment of the obligations under Article 77(4) or (7), those operators shall not be allowed to sell, re-use or process such data, in whole or in part, beyond what is necessary for the provision of the relevant storing or processing services;
Closest battery-law anchor for a service/provider layer, but still not a named defined term.
Reference: Article 78(2)
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for sustainable products
"digital product passport service provider" means a natural or legal person that is an independent third-party authorised by the economic operator which places the product on the market or puts it into service and that processes the digital product passport data for that product for the purpose of making such data available to economic operators and other relevant actors with a right to access those data under this Regulation or other Union law;
Strongest formal analog term for explaining the role of a battery-passport service or provider layer.

Current market/product evidence that this concept family is used as a platform and service layer in practice.

Reviewed public draft page. Aligns with identity/access policy: separates identity, carrier, QR/access mechanism, passport record, item granularity, and service-platform infrastructure.
Implementation records should capture hosting environment, API endpoint, access-control policy, data-processing role, operator-responsibility boundary, service provider, data availability commitment, audit log, incident process, export path, and separation between platform functions and regulated passport evidence.
Battery passport service / battery passport platform is the infrastructure layer around the record. The platform can host, route, validate, display, or exchange data, but responsibility, product identity, and evidence quality still need to be linked to the correct economic operator and battery record.
Strongest current customer-facing context for how passport solutions are operationalized.
