Disassembly matters for battery-passport implementation because end-of-life and service events often need to record what was separated, by whom, for what purpose, and whether the object remains suitable for re-use, repurposing, or treatment.

DIN DKE SPEC 99100:2025-02 — Requirements for data attributes of the battery passport
DIN DKE SPEC 99100 uses disassembly as battery-passport implementation context for separating a battery or related object into parts so lifecycle and circularity events can be represented more precisely.
Non-verbatim implementation-context summary only; not a verbatim DIN definition. DIN DKE SPEC 99100 is a copyrighted standard, so this page gives context rather than republishing the standard text.
Reference: Section 3 lifecycle terminology
Implementation records should capture the object identifier, separation event, operator record, date, condition evidence, component or material outputs, and downstream pathway so controlled separation is not mistaken for recycling, disposal, or a final legal status.
Disassembly is a lifecycle-separation control: the evidence consequence is that end-of-life and service workflows can connect product identity, condition evidence, operator responsibility, and downstream circularity choices without reducing every pathway to a recycling label.
