Question 9 of 21 · Product

For each category, is the product data static or dynamic?

Static: set at production and unchanged (e.g. composition). Dynamic: they change during the product's life (e.g. repairs, state of health, owners).

Possible answers

You answer for each product category you chose.

Static

Data fixed at production that never changes.
E.g. composition, country of origin.

Dynamic

Data that changes during the product's life.
E.g. repairs carried out, state of health, owner.

Both

Some data is static, some changes over time.
E.g. fixed composition and repair history.

Guidance

  • EV, LMT and industrial batteries: the passport has a static part (composition, carbon footprint) and a dynamic one, such as state of health, to be updated during the battery's life (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Article 14 and Annex XIII).

  • Electronics: specifications and composition are static; repairs, replaced parts and software updates make part of the data dynamic.

  • Commercial vehicle tyres: with retreading some data changes during the tyre's life.

  • For this category data is usually static, set at production. Choose Both if you want to record repairs, resales or other later events.

Legal references

  • Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR): the passport must remain accessible and up to date for its expected lifetime; the delegated act sets who may update which data (e.g. repairers, remanufacturers).
  • Batteries: Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 (Batteries), Annex XIII: some passport information is dynamic (e.g. state of health) and must be updated during the battery's life.
