Should manufacturers adopt new product transparency standards before they are legally required to do so?
Tenways and Minespider have collaborated to create digital battery passports for e-bikes, ensuring compliance with future European Union mandates. This initiative provides a system to track battery data and transparency across the supply chain.
Why it matters
The collaboration helps manufacturers prepare for strict EU regulations that require improved battery data management and industry-wide transparency for light means of transport (LMT) batteries. These digital records ensure that vital battery information remains accurate and accessible.
The EU Battery Regulation mandates that all LMT batteries must carry a digital battery passport by 18 February 2027. This passport must be accessible via a QR code and contain searchable, structured data.
The players
Tenways
An e-bike manufacturer focusing on electric mobility solutions that now integrates digital transparency into its battery supply chain.
Minespider
A blockchain-based technology provider that develops digital product passports to improve data traceability and supply chain accountability.
The details
The project centers on building a digital infrastructure that collects and structures data throughout the entire supply chain. By utilizing Minespider’s technology, Tenways can connect unique battery identifiers to a digital format, ensuring all information is up to date. This system allows users and regulators to verify battery history and specifications through simple scanning.

18 February 2027: Deadline for EU Battery Regulation compliance for LMT batteries.
The Home Front
This move reflects a broader trend of increased lifecycle transparency for household electronics and lithium-ion batteries. It marks a transition toward standardized regulatory compliance for personal mobility devices.
E-bike owners should look for documentation or QR codes on their battery units as manufacturers begin to implement these new labeling standards. Keep original purchase receipts and battery maintenance records in a safe location to ensure you have the full history of your device.
The takeaway
Digital battery passports are becoming a standard feature to improve safety and supply chain traceability. Moving forward, homeowners should check the labels on their e-bike batteries for digital identifiers that confirm the product meets updated regulatory safety standards.
