The technical file supporting a battery's conformity assessment.
Technical documentation brings together the design, manufacturing, testing and other evidence needed to assess a battery against applicable requirements. The manufacturer prepares it under the relevant conformity-assessment route. Its role differs from the selected information made available through a battery passport.
Technical documentation is the controlled technical file supporting the applicable battery conformity assessment and authority review.
Do not describe the whole technical file as public passport data; verify precise retention/access claims before adding them.
Battery Regulation Article 17 and Annex VIII govern conformity-assessment procedures and associated technical documentation; the technical file is not the public passport itself.
Source-grounded explanatory term, not a formal definition in the cited provisions. Source context is paraphrased, not quoted legal text.
Keep the technical file version, test records, approvals and authority-response path distinct from public passport fields.
We should track file ownership, assessment version and authority-ready supporting evidence without treating the whole file as public passport data.
