Ordinary NFC for information access
A static NTAG215 link can open a product or lifecycle record, optionally alongside a QR identifier. Restrict private service data through the application rather than relying on the link being obscure.
Connect a battery to structured product and lifecycle information. Plan the physical identifier, data ownership and access model together; choosing a tag is only one part of a battery passport project.
Select the identifier alongside housing, data and access requirements. QR, ordinary NFC and secure NFC serve different tasks and do not independently establish passport compliance or electrical condition.

Use configured NTAG424 DNA or EM4425 with backend verification if dynamic tag evidence is required. Tag checks do not measure state of health, charge or safe operating condition.
Metal housings may require a purpose-designed on-metal antenna or another approved position. Ferrite or another isolation construction must be evaluated on the actual housing; the chip model alone is insufficient.
Agree placement with the manufacturer and test temperature, service access and label durability within the intended conditions. Do not cover safety markings or add an unassessed component near electrical or thermal interfaces.
Test the QR and optional NFC on the housing, with placement approved by the manufacturer and records for each identifier.
Define who maintains technical and lifecycle data, and which information is public or restricted to authorised participants.
Test corrections, label replacement and authorised service or recycling access; assess applicable passport requirements separately.
Evaluate a housing label with a readable QR code and optional NFC. Metal enclosures may require a suitable on-metal antenna construction. Agree placement with the manufacturer so labels do not cover safety markings, interfere with servicing or create an unassessed installation risk.
Separate battery model, batch and individual identifiers. Identify the authoritative source for technical data, supplier declarations and lifecycle events. Define how corrections and updates reach the record and which organisation is responsible after sale, repair or a change of operator.
Plan public information separately from data intended for authorised service, reuse or recycling participants. Integrations need agreed identifiers, event formats and permissions. Do not assume that a phone scan demonstrates state of health or that all relevant lifecycle events have been recorded.
Confirm the currently applicable passport obligations for the battery category and intended market with the responsible specialists. A GS1 identifier, QR code, NFC chip or software subscription does not alone establish compliance.
Pilot actual housings, phones and authorised-reader workflows. Include an unavailable network, a replaced label, corrected data and transfer to a service partner. Secure NFC can verify its configured tag response; electrical condition and safety require separate measurements and procedures.
Describe your product, packaging material, intended scan or verification result, target market and expected pilot scope. The team can then assess placement, data and integration requirements.
