| Certain batteries | 18 February 2027 | First deadline stated by the Commission. | Check the covered product group. |

Identify the product category
Connect the project to the relevant product group and its specific rules. The battery date is not a common deadline for every sector.
Collect available information
Choose one product and collect its identifier, materials and available documents. For each data point, name who can confirm it and which version it concerns. Use this example to identify the steps needed before extending the work to the catalogue.
Assign updates
Decide who approves data and who changes it when the product changes. Agree how information moves between suppliers, production and catalogue managers.
Design the information journey
Establish which information users need and how they will reach it from the product. Build content and interfaces from approved data.
Use the test environment
Consult the European registry’s documentation and tools. Test identifiers and connections before committing to the implementation used on products.
Prepare a sample product record with data, sources and update owners to use in the first test.
