What is a Digital Product Passport?

A DPP is a structured set of product data made accessible through a unique identifier and a data carrier such as a QR code or NFC tag, linked to an EU registry. It carries information on materials, recycled content, repairability, footprint, and end-of-life handling so buyers, repairers, and recyclers can act on it.

Which regulation creates the DPP?

The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, is the framework that introduces the DPP. The specific data fields and timing for each product group are set out in delegated acts adopted under it, several of which are still being drafted.

Which products get a DPP first?

Batteries lead, with a battery passport required from February 2027 under the separate Battery Regulation. Textiles, electronics, and iron and steel are among the first ESPR priority groups, with furniture, tyres, and detergents in later waves.

How is the readiness score calculated?

Each data domain carries a weight reflecting how central it is to the passport — identifier, data carrier, materials, and registry integration weigh most. Your answers score full, half, or zero of each weight, and the total is expressed as a percentage of the maximum.

Are the exact data fields final?

Not yet for most categories. The headline domains — identification, materials, recycled content, repairability, disassembly, footprint, compliance, and registry capability — are stable, but the precise mandatory fields come from product-specific delegated acts. Use this as planning input, not a definitive field list.

Digital Product Passport Readiness Checker

The EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) makes product sustainability data travel with the product through a unique identifier and a data carrier linked to an EU registry. It is introduced by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, with detailed requirements set per product group through delegated acts. This checker scores how ready your product data is and lists the gaps to close.

How it works

The tool scores ten data domains, each weighted by how central it is to a working passport. Your answer for each domain earns full, half, or no credit:

yes      → full weight
partial  → half weight
no       → zero
readiness = Σ(earned weight) / Σ(max weight) × 100

Identifier, data carrier, material composition, and registry capability carry the highest weight because without them there is no passport at all. Recycled content, repairability, disassembly, footprint, and compliance documentation follow, with durability metrics weighted lowest.

Notes and example

A textiles brand that already tracks material composition and substances of concern but has no data carrier or registry plan will score in the developing band, with the carrier and registry domains flagged as the highest-leverage gaps to close first. Battery makers face the earliest hard deadline — a passport from February 2027 under the Battery Regulation — so they should treat anything below the strong band as urgent. Because the exact mandatory fields arrive through product-specific delegated acts that are still being finalised, treat this as a planning self-assessment rather than a compliance certificate.
