  "faq": [
    {
      "question": "What's the deadline for EU Battery Passport compliance?",
      "answer": "February 18, 2027 for batteries >2 kWh placed on the EU market. EV, industrial and LMT categories covered. Consumer batteries (laptop, phone) excluded in the first wave but likely included in 2030+ updates."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do I need NFC if QR is sufficient?",
      "answer": "QR satisfies the regulation literally. NFC is supplementary — useful for service technicians, easier to read from awkward angles in vehicle bays, and survives dirt that obscures printed QR. Most OEMs add NFC despite QR being adequate."
    },
    {
      "question": "How long must the data carrier survive?",
      "answer": "10+ years for EV and industrial batteries. Standard NFC inlays fail in 1-3 years under battery thermal cycling. Specify ceramic-substrate tags rated for AEC-Q200 automotive temperature classes."
    },
    {
      "question": "Who owns the passport data?",
      "answer": "OEM at manufacturing, transferred to fleet operator at sale, accessible to recycler at end-of-life. The passport is a permission-based record with role-specific read/write rights, not a single-owner asset."
    },
    {
      "question": "Did the EU Battery Regulation due-diligence date really get postponed?",
      "answer": "Yes. The original 18 August 2025 application date for due-diligence obligations was postponed to 18 August 2027 by Regulation (EU) 2025/1561, giving operators additional time to build chain-of-custody systems for cobalt, lithium, nickel and natural graphite. The Battery Passport date (18 February 2027) was not changed. Operators should plan as if the new 2027 due-diligence deadline holds, but watch for further amendments — the EU has a pattern of 6-12 month slippage on delegated acts (CEPS in-depth analysis March 2024 and ESPR Working Plan April 2025 both flag this)."
    },
    {
      "question": "Should we use Catena-X, a private blockchain or a vendor-hosted SaaS for the battery passport backend?",
      "answer": "The Regulation requires interoperable, open-standards data exchange with selective sharing — Catena-X is the reference automotive ecosystem and the safest single answer for OEM-side passport infrastructure. Pure private blockchains and single-vendor SaaS risk non-conformity unless they implement EPCIS 2.0 + GS1 Digital Link export and integrate with the EU central DPP registry (live by 19 July 2026). Practical pattern in 2025-2026 OEM pilots: passport data anchored on a decentralised ledger (Catena-X or equivalent) for immutability, with vendor SaaS handling user-facing dashboards and tag encoding workflow. Avoid black-box vendor lock-in on data portability — passport records must follow the battery through OEM → fleet operator → second-life owner → recycler."
