Economic operator guide
Digital Product Passport for manufacturers.
Manufacturers need reliable product data, persistent identifiers and lifecycle processes long before a QR code is printed.
What manufacturers should prepare
- Stable model, batch or item identifiers
- Product and material data from engineering and suppliers
- Compliance evidence linked to the exact product version
- A process to keep DPP information accurate and up to date
- A data carrier and hosting architecture compatible with the applicable product rules
Why this matters
Under ESPR, economic operators placing covered products on the EU market must provide accurate DPP data and register the passport when the applicable rules require it.
