News regarding the Digital Product Passport (DPP)

One objective of the measure is to provide access to relevant information and to enable the competent national authorities to carry out their duties.

According to the final draft of the Ecodesign Framework Regulation COM (2022) 142 final, a Digital Product Passport (DPP) is to be provided for products within its scope. “The aim of the measure is to make product information available to stakeholders along the entire value chain, to help consumers make informed choices, to enable other stakeholders such as repair or recycling companies to access relevant information, and to enable national competent authorities to carry out their tasks,” says the EU Commission.

  • Data carriers and unique identifiers,
  • Management of access rights,
  • Interoperability (technical, semantic, organisational), including data exchange protocols and formats,
  • Data storage,
  • Data processing (initiation, modification, updating),
  • Data authentication, reliability and integrity; and
  • Data security and data protection

are to be regulated at the normative level.

Manufacturers and importers of products already covered by an implementing regulation of 2009/125/EC should pay careful attention to this development.

The example of DPP shows that optimal Legal Monitoring is necessary as an existential risk precaution in order to protect you under product law. If you have any questions, the trade-e-bility advisory team will be pleased to assist you via beratung@trade-e-bility.de or +49/40/75068730-0, especially in the case of labelling obligations for products or packaging.
