Abstract

The European Union aims to become the first climate neutral continent in the World and to achieve that introduced the requirement for a Digital Product Passport (DPP) to products placed on the European market. Batteries, in particular, are subject to strict reporting obligation under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, mandating the inclusion of data related to material composition, carbon footprint, and lifecycle performance. This thesis investigates the interoperability of digital battery passport specifications that have been defined by various initiatives, such as the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) – a standardized digital twin framework promoted by the Industrial Digital Twin Association (IDTA) –. The research is carried out through a literature review and the development of a proof-of-concept using existing AAS tools. The evaluation applies the Levels of Information Systems Interoperability (LISI) framework to assess syntactic, semantic, and organizational interoperability. The results demonstrate that AAS can support all levels of interoperability but lacks role-based access control (RBAC) demanded in the Regulation. The findings show that AAS has great potential to become standard format for DPP, but requires revision and popularization.
