A battery carbon-footprint class assigned under the applicable EU battery rules.
A performance class places a covered battery model within the battery-specific carbon-footprint classification set under Article 7. The declaration, class display and later maximum thresholds are separate steps with different legal triggers. A planned class is not automatically a class already required on every battery.
A carbon footprint performance class is a regulated classification based on the battery-specific footprint result, not the declaration or a maximum threshold.
Distinct from an ESPR product class of performance.
Battery Regulation Article 7(2) sets a performance-class mechanism for covered batteries and Article 7(3) separately addresses maximum life-cycle carbon-footprint thresholds.

Link any displayed class to the applicable class-setting act, underlying declaration, model and manufacturing plant.
A class claim should point to its underlying declaration and applicable class rules, not merely a standalone label.
