EU DPP Battery Umbrella Ontology: Description back to ToC

Developed against the CIRPASS-2 CORE ontology v2.0.5 (refresh of 25 August 2026; P_DPP v2.0.6 of 27 August 2026, MAT v1.0.2). External references are pinned to these versions.

Classes

Batteryc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/eudpp/battery#Battery

A battery placed on the market or put into service, subject of a battery passport under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. Modelled as a subclass of the cross-sectoral Product class. A battery incorporated as a component of another product remains a Product, linked through the CORE component property (no dedicated Component class), in line with CIRPASS-2 modelling decisions. The regulatory category of a battery is expressed through the CORE property dpp:hasProductGroup, pointing to one of the five individuals of the battery-categories vocabulary; no category property is declared in the battery namespace. Its lifecycle status is expressed through bat:hasBatteryStatus, declared locally for want of a cross-sectoral equivalent. The date of manufacture is carried by the cross-sectoral property dpp:manufacturingDate, settled on ontologies-core#33; no manufacturing date property is declared in the battery namespace.

Object Properties

has battery statusop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/eudpp/battery#hasBatteryStatus

Links a battery to its lifecycle status: one of the five individuals of the battery-statuses vocabulary (original, repurposed, re-used, remanufactured, waste). This is the status of the battery as a physical item, and not the status of its passport as a digital resource, which the CORE carries on dpp:DPP through dpp:dppStatus. Declared locally, unlike the battery category and the battery chemistry, because the CORE has no generic product status property to reuse: dpp:hasProductGroup carries the product group, not the state of the item. This is a stopgap: a cross-sectoral eudpp:productStatus on eudpp:Product was requested in CIRPASS-2/ontologies-core#35 (opened 22 June 2026, still open), motivated by this very attribute. When it lands, this property is to be deprecated in favour of it, using owl:deprecated and dcterms:isReplacedBy.

IRI: https://w3id.org/eudpp/battery#dismantlingInformation

Link to the dismantling documentation: exploded diagrams, disassembly sequences, fastening techniques, required tools, safety warnings, and the number and layout of cells. Migration to the CORE document pattern eudpp:Source (LCA module) is tracked in ontologies-battery#11 and deferred until the LCA module is integrated into the CORE; xsd:anyURI is the agreed interim.

Link to the third-party verification of the battery due diligence policy, carried out by a notified body. Migration to the CORE document pattern eudpp:Source (LCA module) is tracked in ontologies-battery#11 and deferred until the LCA module is integrated into the CORE; xsd:anyURI is the agreed interim.

Link to the battery due diligence policy and report on the supply chain, covering the raw materials listed in Annex X (cobalt, natural graphite, lithium, nickel) and the chemical compounds based on them. Migration to the CORE document pattern eudpp:Source (LCA module) is tracked in ontologies-battery#11 and deferred until the LCA module is integrated into the CORE; xsd:anyURI is the agreed interim.

part numberdp back to ToC or Data Property ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/eudpp/battery#partNumber

Manufacturer part number of a component of the battery, and of the battery itself where one is assigned. Annex XIII 2(b) asks for the part numbers of the components, so the subject is the component and not the battery: CIRPASS-2 decided in June 2026 not to introduce a Component class, a component being a product in its own right, linked to the battery through the CORE property dpp:isComponentOf. The domain is therefore dpp:Product rather than bat:Battery. The property is declared in the battery namespace because the CORE has no cross-sectoral part number; adding one was raised as a recommendation to the Commission. Typed as in the Spherity Battery Pass ontology v0.1, where bp:partNumber is an xsd:string datatype property.

safety measuresdp back to ToC or Data Property ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/eudpp/battery#safetyMeasures

Link to the safety measures applicable to the battery. The document the URL points at is a digital instruction in the sense of the cross-sectoral class eudpp:DigitalInstruction (P_DPP), and the correspondence is recorded here as rdfs:seeAlso. It is deliberately not a SKOS mapping: this is a datatype property carrying a URL, eudpp:DigitalInstruction is a class of documents, and an alignment between the two would not hold at audit. Re-expressing this property on a CORE document pattern is the subject of ontologies-battery#11 and is deferred until that pattern is settled.

IRI: https://w3id.org/eudpp/battery#testReportResults

Link to the test report results. Access is restricted to notified bodies, market surveillance authorities and the Commission; the restriction is expressed in the SHACL layer, not here. Migration to the CORE document pattern eudpp:Source (LCA module) is tracked in ontologies-battery#11 and deferred until the LCA module is integrated into the CORE; xsd:anyURI is the agreed interim.

warranty perioddp back to ToC or Data Property ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/eudpp/battery#warrantyPeriod

Length of the commercial warranty covering the calendar life of the battery, as an ISO 8601 duration - for example "P24M" for twenty-four months. Declared in the battery namespace on the decision of 26 August 2026: a cross-sectoral warranty period was requested in CIRPASS-2/ontologies-core#34, but the ESPR does not require one, whereas Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 does, so the term stays sectoral.
