Who may read which field

Who can see what in a digital product passport A passport is not one public page. The EU battery law sets three access tiers, and the general public reaches only one of them.
What is public in a passport, and what is not In the EU battery passport only Annex XIII point 1 is public. No confirmed rule defines a person with a legitimate interest.
A passport does not publish your formulation or supplier list No. The EU battery passport holds the detailed composition in a restricted tier, and a host may not sell the data on.
Personal data in a digital product passport: open questions The product law limits personal data in a passport. No article read here requires a passport to be immutable, and the EU registry holds data about people.

How long a digital product passport must stay available Longer than you sell the product. A battery passport must stay available after the company stops, and it ends only after recycling.
What happens to a passport if the company closes EU law makes the battery passport stay available after the responsible company closes, or after it stops selling in the Union.
What happens to an old version of a passport EU law requires passport data to be accurate and up to date. It does not say if you must keep the version you replaced.

A battery passport must stay up to date after the sale EU battery law requires the passport data to stay accurate, complete and up to date until the battery is recycled.
A passport starts with one item and ends when it is recycled Only the EU battery law writes these rules. A repair keeps the passport, a repurposed battery gets a new one, and a recycler ends it.
Who is liable if the passport data is wrong? The operator that places the product on the EU market is liable. For a New Zealand exporter that is usually the EU importer.
