At a glance

A repairer, remanufacturer, second-life operator, or distributor acting on a battery it does not (yet) own.

Extended read access to legitimate-interest data, with the ability to initiate a responsibility transfer to a new passport.
Its journey with a battery
- 1
Stepping in on a takeover
This role comes into play when a battery is taken over for reuse or refurbishment — never outside that context.
- 2
Extended read access
In addition to the public data, it views the legitimate-interest data: detailed composition, disassembly information, safety instructions.
- 3
Initiating a responsibility transfer
Its only possible action is to initiate a responsibility transfer — never a free-form field edit. The old passport becomes read-only, a new linked passport is created, and it becomes responsible for that new passport as the new owning operator.
Verification-gated access
Access to this role is conditioned on a prior verification of its economic-operator registration, handled manually by the platform.
What the history shows
By default, this role sees only the date of the passport's last update, not its full history.
