ExampleProduct passportQR codesAnalyticsNeeds the Pro plan or above

A shop sells e-bikes under its own brand, with batteries it imports. That makes it the one placing those LMT batteries on the EU market, so the battery passport of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 is its obligation. The battery template in QRiva follows Annex XIII point by point.
