Digital Product Passports across product groups

Verifable offers Digital Product Passports for regulated and custom product groups, and a separate source-bound PPWR workspace for packaging. This page distinguishes each legal basis and public starting point. Battery, textile, phone-and-tablet, construction and packaging starts open in the same workbench, but the packaging start is not presented as a generic packaging DPP.

The EU DPP Registry has been operational since 20 July 2026, and Verifable's battery fields are open today — inspect them. Common infrastructure does not create a passport duty for every product: the applicable product legislation still decides scope, responsible operator, data and timing.

One circular data infrastructure, many product lives

Product groups change fields, responsibilities and applicable rules. The shared layer—identity, access, provenance, evidence, lifecycle events, resolution and machine-readable data—does not. That is what lets a battery, garment, connected device or building component participate in the same circular economy without forcing them into the same template.

Nor does a record have to begin when a new product leaves a factory. An existing, used, reclaimed, repaired, remanufactured or second-life thing can start from what is known today, keep uncertainty visible and accumulate accountable evidence from there. The Product Passport workbench lets you choose a source-bound starting point, edit its fields and inspect their provenance. A local draft does not by itself create a retained asset identifier or issue a signed DPP. The table below states where a group-specific guided flow or legal-conformance claim does—and does not—exist.

Common rails, product-specific duties

The EU DPP Registry went live on 20 July 2026. It registers unique product identifiers and high-level metadata; the product data remains in the decentralised passport system. Its launch does not by itself make every product group subject to a passport duty.

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/1736 published references to six harmonised DPP standards: EN 18216:2026 for data exchange protocols, EN 18219:2026 for unique identifiers, EN 18220:2026 for data carriers, EN 18221:2026 for data storage and persistence, EN 18222:2026 for lifecycle-management and search APIs, and EN 18223:2026 for system interoperability. Their presumption of conformity is limited to the corresponding ESPR requirements the standards cover; it is not a blanket product-compliance result.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR) supplies the general DPP framework and product measures set the final group-specific requirements. Batteries already have a directly applicable passport rule. Construction products and detergents follow separate sector instruments, while sharing compatible DPP system rails.

Public starting points and current maturity

Product group Who carries the duty What binds it What we can do today Where to go next
Batteries The economic operator placing the finished in-scope battery on the EU market or putting it into service. Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Article 77 and Annex XIII. From 18 February 2027 the passport duty applies to light means of transport batteries, industrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh, and electric vehicle batteries. The browser workbench exposes the Commission's 71-point guidance catalogue separately from its cited Regulation evidence. The guided issuer checks the subset supported by its current server shape before signing; neither check is a legal conformity determination. Open the battery fields
Construction products, including windows and doors The manufacturer creates the passport. Importers and distributors have linked duties to check its presence and keep the required information available. Regulation (EU) 2024/3110, Articles 75–80. The Regulation establishes the construction DPP framework and requires interoperability with the ESPR passport system and BIM. The Commission must still establish the system by delegated act; the manufacturer duty begins 18 months after that act enters into force. Product-family content continues to arrive through harmonised technical specifications. The browser workbench exposes CPR statutory content, the 36 product families and the horizontal technical core while keeping the Article 75 delegated act, product-category semantics, granularity and access matrix visibly pending. Open the construction fields
Packaging and packaged products Manufacturers, importers and distributors have distinct conformity and verification duties. The producer for extended producer responsibility can be a different role and may need registration in each destination Member State. Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR), including Articles 5–12, 15, 18–22, 38–45 and Annexes VII–IX. It generally applies from 12 August 2026; several labels, methods and targets have later dates or depend on future acts. The workbench keeps packaging identity, conformity/declaration evidence, public carrier information and reuse records source-bound. PPWR does not create a generic packaging DPP or a single Union-wide producer register. Open the PPWR packaging workspace
Detergents and end-user surfactants The manufacturer creates a model-level passport before placing the detergent or end-user surfactant on the market. Importers and distributors carry linked checks. Regulation (EU) 2026/405, Articles 21–25. It applies from 23 September 2029 and introduces a DPP for detergent and end-user-surfactant models. The Commission's implementing act must still complete the technical details. “Cleaning product” is not itself a single legal category; classification remains product-specific. No detergent-specific public field set or conformance flow is claimed today. The Product Passport workbench shows the source-bound starting points that are currently available. Open available starting points
Textiles The final product measure will set the covered textile products and the precise responsible-operator duties. ESPR is the framework. The Commission's 2025–2030 working plan gives textiles and apparel an indicative 2027 adoption date. That is a planning date, not a passport application date; final delegated requirements remain pending. The browser workbench separates binding fibre-labelling fields from the official 2026 JRC technical proposal. Proposed fields are not presented as final ESPR requirements. Open the textile fields
Connected electronics / ICT The applicable final measure will set the exact products in scope and the responsible-operator duties. ESPR is the framework. The Commission's working plan includes ICT through horizontal work and gives the recycled-content and recyclability measure for electrical and electronic equipment an indicative 2029 adoption date. That date is not a general electronics DPP mandate; scope, data and application timing remain to be set. The browser workbench's electronics start is deliberately limited to the binding smartphone and slate-tablet product-information sheet. It is not a universal electronics DPP or a final ICT measure. Open the phone and tablet fields
Furniture The final product measure will set the covered products and precise responsible-operator duties. ESPR is the framework. The Commission working plan gives furniture an indicative 2028 adoption date; final product requirements and application timing remain pending. No furniture-specific public field set or conformance flow is claimed today. The Product Passport workbench shows the source-bound starting points that are currently available. Open available starting points

Batteries carry the first binding DPP application date in this table: 18 February 2027 for the categories stated above. The detergent Regulation applies from 23 September 2029, while its detailed technical act remains pending. Construction has a legislated DPP framework but no fixed passport application date until the system-setting delegated act enters into force. The textile, electronics and furniture dates are working-plan signals: useful for readiness, but not final product-specific passport obligations.

Circular-economy data infrastructure shared across product groups

The applicable product measure decides which fields a passport must carry. Identity, resolution, signing, provenance, lifecycle events, tiered reading, wallet-held roles and bounded agent operations are reusable machinery underneath those fields. The six harmonised standards and live EU Registry make that common layer more concrete without settling any group's final data requirements.

  • Product identity a third party can resolve An issued product is its own did:web subject, with a DID document and a signed passport served at stable URLs.
  • One identifier, a typed set of links Resolution returns an ISO/IEC 18975 link-set as RFC 9264 application/linkset+json — one entry per credential rather than one URL to guess.
  • Reading a passport is a policy decision Tiers are resolved by a policy decision point from the caller's session, so a public reader and an authorised reader get different documents from the same address.
  • A shape check before signing The guided battery flow is checked against its current profile's SHACL shape before signing. That implementation check is not a legal conformity decision.
  • Standards-based product identifier on the passport A GTIN with an optional serial and check digit can be validated at issuance time and encoded in a QR data carrier.
  • The passport as a wallet-redeemable credential Passport, conformity and traceability credentials are offered and presented over OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance and Presentation. The sandbox tenant's signing keys are regenerated on every server restart, so credentials issued there carry no legal weight.

Each of these is on the facts page with the URL or file that settles it. The EU DPP Registry is live; Verifable does not claim registry submission here. Verifable registry submission and a complete guided lifecycle transaction are not claimed by this page; Facts carries the exact public boundary.

Who this is for, and what it costs

For whom
The person who carries a product's passport duty—the compliance-responsible manufacturer or economic operator, and the importer or distributor that places the product on the market. Also the owner, operator, repairer, reseller, reuse marketplace or recycler working with an existing or used thing years later, outside the original manufacturer's systems.
Why
Where an applicable product act mandates a DPP, its availability is a condition of placing the product on the market or putting it into service. PPWR separately makes packaging conformity and producer registration relevant to market access; a Verifable packaging record is preparation and evidence, not itself a legal approval. The same governed facts can then support maintainers, reuse operators and authorities in their work.
What it costs
Free to start today: the guided battery flow, resolution and verification can be exercised without an account and without talking to anyone. The terms, and what is being prepared, are on pricing.
What you gain
A signed product record with an identity a third party can resolve without your cooperation, readable at different tiers by different readers, and presentable as a credential a wallet can hold. The guided battery flow adds its current shape check; readiness profiles for other groups remain non-binding until the applicable rules are final.

If your group is not listed

The common DPP standards and live Registry provide technical reference rails. Registry eligibility, mandatory data and legal timing still come from the applicable instrument. You can choose an existing product or asset starting point in the Product Passport workbench, including for an existing or used thing, or ask for the group you need. Future ESPR measures, steel and other groups still need their applicable rules to settle legal scope, fields and timing. Packaging follows the separate PPWR workflow above. Readiness work must stay visibly separate from the final legal requirement.
