What does person with a legitimate interest mean?
The Battery Regulation gives people with a legitimate interest access to certain passport information, with the extent tied to the information and purpose. Repair, recycling and other uses can call for different data; the label does not grant every qualifying person all restricted model and individual-battery fields.
Minespider working definition
A person with a legitimate interest is a requestor whose access to specified battery information depends on the applicable purpose and access rules.
Common boundary mistakes
Do not treat an unresolved implementing-rule detail as settled.
Source context
Battery Regulation Article 77(2)(c) envisages legitimate-interest access to specified information, with further detail under Article 77(9); it does not grant every requestor all restricted data.
Definition status
Source-grounded explanatory term, not a formal definition in the cited provisions. Source context is paraphrased, not quoted legal text.
Practical application
Record the requestor, purpose, relevant information section, permitted action and audit event before releasing restricted data.
Minespider commentary
We should record the request purpose and rule basis before granting access to restricted battery information.
Common confusions
- Legitimate interest does not give access to test reports. Those stay with notified bodies, market surveillance authorities and the Commission.
