Get ahead of the EU Digital Product Passport.
The EU's DPP Registry is live and the first delegated acts are being prepared. Once your group's delegated act is adopted, the 18-month clock starts. This checklist gets your data, identifiers, and Registry registration ready before it does.
ESPR (Reg. (EU) 2024/1781) is in force. The EU Central DPP Registry went live in mid-July 2026 (Implementing Reg. (EU) 2026/1778). Requirements land product group by product group via delegated acts; once your group's act is adopted you typically have 18 months before enforcement. Iron & steel is first (adoption expected 2026); textiles, tyres and aluminium follow (~2027).

When does the EU Digital Product Passport become mandatory?
The EU Digital Product Passport phases in product group by product group through ESPR delegated acts. The EU Central DPP Registry went live in mid-July 2026. Iron and steel is first (adoption expected 2026); textiles, tyres and aluminium follow around 2027. Once your group's delegated act is adopted, you generally have 18 months before enforcement.
What does a Digital Product Passport require?
A unique product identifier, a data carrier such as a GS1 Digital Link QR or DataMatrix on the product, the product attributes set by the delegated act, and registration of the identifiers with the EU Central DPP Registry — with a persistent, resolvable link to the live passport.
Who is responsible for the DPP?
The economic operator placing the product on the EU market — the manufacturer, importer, or authorised representative.
