What does state of certified energy mean?
SOCE compares measured or on-board usable battery energy performance at a point in vehicle life with the certified value, expressed as a percentage. An on-board estimate and a measured result are distinct. It is not the same as the battery's present state of charge.
Minespider working definition
State of certified energy is the measured or on-board battery energy-performance measure expressed against certified usable battery energy.
Common boundary mistakes
Euro 7 Article 3(67) defines state of health, not SOCE.
Source context
UN GTR No. 22 Part II §3.9 defines SOCE. Euro 7 Article 3(67) concerns state of health, a different measure.
Official definitions by source
UN GTR No. 22
UN GTR No. 22
“State of certified energy” (SOCE) means the measured or on-board UBE performance at a specific point in its lifetime, expressed as a percentage of the certified usable battery energy.
UN GTR No. 22 Part II paragraph 3.9. The quotation was checked against the user-supplied base PDF and Amendment 1 consolidated DOCX; direct UNECE download was blocked. This is not the Euro 7 state-of-health definition.
Reference: Part II, paragraph 3.9

Definition status
Officially defined in the cited source. The verbatim source passage is shown separately from Minespider’s explanatory text; applicability follows that source.
Practical application
Label each value measured or on-board estimated, preserve certified usable battery energy and measurement time.
Minespider commentary
Store whether a SOCE value is measured or on-board, plus the certified usable-energy baseline and test provenance.
Common confusions
- State of certified energy is a vehicle-level durability metric defined under Euro 7. State of health is the battery-level metric used in the battery passport.
