First classify the exact battery and product. EU Regulation 2023/1542 sets a QR-code milestone for all batteries from 18 February 2027, but passports apply only to LMT batteries, industrial batteries above 2 kWh and EV batteries. A typical portable power bank should not be called a passport product without classification evidence. Check label timing, QR data, replaceability, instructions and current implementing rules before tooling approval.

Build one controlled SKU identity record before a listing goes live. Match model, capacity and watt-hours, cell chemistry, ports, charging claims, label artwork, packaging, test evidence and fulfillment route to the physical production version. Upload only documents that cover that configuration and destination marketplace. A valid report attached to the wrong model is still a launch-file failure; pause the listing until the mapping is corrected.

A workable warranty sets the covered product and period, the defect definition, required evidence, safe return route, decision time, remedy, and the party paying each cost. Link claims to failure codes and shipment lots, then distinguish one verified unit from a possible batch issue. Consumer rights vary by market; a buyer–supplier recovery agreement cannot remove rights owed to end customers.
