Importing Passports from a CSV File

If you have battery passport data in a spreadsheet, you can import multiple passports at once using a CSV file. DPP Cloud validates each row and creates a Draft passport for every valid entry.

Getting the CSV template

Preparing your data

Fill in one row per passport. Each row must include at minimum:

• battery_category — "EV" or "Industrial"
• product_name — the battery name
• gtin — 14-digit GTIN, no spaces or hyphens
• passport_level — "model", "batch", or "item"

All other Annex XIII columns are optional at import — you can complete them later by editing the Draft passport in DPP Cloud.

Uploading the CSV

Import results and job history

After the import completes, the Import page shows the job in the Import History section. Each job shows:

• The filename and upload date.
• How many passports were created.
• How many rows had errors (if any).

Click on a job to see the detailed results, including error messages for any failed rows.

Handling errors

Common import errors:

• GTIN format — must be exactly 14 digits, no spaces, no hyphens.
• Missing required field — battery_category, product_name, gtin, and passport_level are required.
• Invalid category — must be exactly "EV" or "Industrial" (case-sensitive).
• Duplicate GTIN + level — a passport with this GTIN and level already exists in your account.

Fix the errors in your CSV and re-upload. Only the corrected rows need to be in the new file — previously successful rows are already created.
