Regulatory Compliance & Reporting
EU Battery Regulation, CBAM and ESPR Compliance That Survives the Verifier
Product carbon footprint declarations, CBAM filings and digital product passport data for manufacturers, importers and materials producers in any regulated category. Built to the methodology each regulation prescribes, documented for the verifier, re-run when the rules change.

For Vianode's synthetic graphite anode versus conventional production
Together with Minviro, we’ve modelled an LCA with high credibility, which allows us to present the LCA to our business partners with comfort. In addition, it forms a solid basis for many of our sustainability targets, and thus has created value beyond compliance.
Andreas Forfang, Vice President Sustainability & Public Affairs at Vianode
Compliance
Why product compliance is a different job in 2026
These obligations don't land on the sustainability team. CBAM sits with customs and finance, because it is a tax return. Product declarations sit inside conformity assessment, with quality and regulatory affairs. This is built for the people who sign.
Strategic Accounts Manager at Minviro
A carbon footprint declaration that passes third-party verification
Every regime now routes through an accredited third party: notified bodies for product declarations, accredited CBAM verifiers, assurance providers for CSRD. What fails review is data lineage, not arithmetic. Every Minviro number traces to source and can be re-performed.
Verifier-accepted LCA models your assurance provider cannot build
Independence rules mean the firm that verifies your declaration is barred from preparing it. You need a builder whose methodology the verifier already accepts: prescribed frameworks implemented correctly, with the evidence trail their review requires.
Meet compliance deadlines without rebuilding when delegated acts change
The EV battery Delegated Act, ESPR delegated acts and UK CBAM secondary legislation are all still being written, and waiting has frozen whole programmes. A model built to the draft rules is re-run against the final text in weeks, with every change documented. The fixed deadlines won't wait either way.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
One governed model for every regulation that touches your product
The same product now needs numbers under methodologies that don't reconcile: EF 3.1 and the CFB rules for battery declarations, ISO 14067 for customer PCF requests, CBAM's monitoring methodology at the EU border, a different scope again for UK CBAM in 2027, and ESPR information requirements on the way. Producing them from disconnected exercises is how programmes fail verification. Producing them from one governed model is the job.

REGULATIONS & FRAMEWORKS
Product compliance deadlines no industry escapes, 2026–2028
Every regulation draws from the same underlying LCA data but requires different outputs, methodologies, and reporting formats.
Already working with PACT, SBTi, CDP, EcoVadis, B Corp, or Cradle to Cradle? The LCA data these frameworks require is the same data the regulations above demand, so the work serves both.
HOW IT WORKS
From gap analysis to verified declaration in three steps
How does the LCA process work with Minviro?
Step 1
Scope
A readiness gap analysis maps your products, supply chain and import flows against every regulation that touches them, names the internal owner each one lands on, and ranks the obligations by deadline. You leave with a heat-map of exposure and a 90-day plan.
Step 2
Deliver
Built to the methodology each regulation prescribes, on your primary data, managed in XYCLE, with supplier data collected via templates, integrations, or on-site support from offices in the UK, Australia and China. Outputs ship in verifier-native form. Fast-track studies run 4 to 8 weeks.
Step 3
Scale
Your model lives in XYCLE, not in a consultant's inbox. Horizon-scan alerts flag rule changes affecting your SKUs, and the re-baseline service re-runs the model when delegated acts land, with the delta documented for your verifier.
DELIVERABLES
What can a regulatory compliance engagement with Minviro include?
For regulatory affairs, quality and finance teams responsible for declarations, border filings and passport data across any regulated product category, and for keeping all of it current as the rules move.
ISO-compliant Life Cycle Assessment (14040/44)
The foundational asset. Every other output below is generated from this one model, so you build it once and reuse it for every framework and customer request that follows.
A full life cycle model quantifying 16+ impact categories, from climate to resource depletion, across value chains.
Product carbon footprint declaration (CFB / EF 3.1 / ISO 14067)
The declaration that decides your class position, your customer qualification, and your place on the EU market, built to survive the conformity reviewer.
A carbon footprint report calculated to the prescribed rules on primary data — CFB for batteries, EF 3.1 or ISO 14067 elsewhere — with full documentation for the technical file and an optional roadmap toward future thresholds.
CBAM embedded emissions declaration
Replaces punitive default values with verified actual emissions, generated by practitioners rather than collected by a workflow tool, so your customs and finance team signs with confidence.
LCA-grade installation-level emissions converted into CBAM worksheets and XML uploads, with an auditor sign-off memo for each shipment. UK CBAM scope from 2027.
Digital Product Passport data pack
Batteries go through the DPP registry first; ESPR categories follow on the same rails. This is the verified content layer behind the QR code, whichever product carries it.
Carbon footprint and material traceability files structured to the passport phases, including QR-code schema and verifier liaison.
Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) traceability dossier
Secures your position in critical-material supply chains as transparency obligations land on designated materials.
Upstream origin, ESG and circularity data collated into a compliance dossier, with supplier engagement templates.
Regulatory horizon-scan and annual re-baseline
The rules are still moving: the EV Delegated Act, ESPR delegated acts, CBAM's downstream extension, UK CBAM secondary legislation. This keeps every declaration built on the current version, permanently.
Quarterly regulatory briefings, custom alerts for your SKUs and regions, and a model re-run with documented delta log when rules or suppliers change.
