Prepare your products for the European Union's evolving Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements with EaseCert's professional EU Digital Product Passport Creation & Implementation Service.
EaseCert combines DPP applicability assessment, ESPR compliance review, product and supplier data preparation, documentation review, digital passport creation, QR-code implementation and online DPP publication in one practical service.
We assess the EU Digital Product Passport framework relevant to your product, identify the product and supply-chain information required or expected, review the documentation you provide, structure the relevant data and create a digital passport accessible through a dedicated web page and QR code.
What Is an EU Digital Product Passport?
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured digital record containing information about a product and, depending on the applicable legislation, information relating to areas such as its identity, manufacturer, materials, performance, sustainability, repair, recycling, compliance and supply chain.
The EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, establishes the general Digital Product Passport framework. Product-specific requirements are introduced progressively through applicable EU legislation and delegated acts.
Under the ESPR framework, a DPP is connected through a data carrier to a persistent unique product identifier. The applicable product-specific legislation determines matters such as the required passport data, the appropriate identification level and where the data carrier must appear.
The EU Digital Product Passport Registry became operational on 20 July 2026. However, this does not mean that every product placed on the EU market already requires a Digital Product Passport. DPP obligations depend on the relevant product category, legislation, delegated acts, scope, exemptions, transition provisions and application dates.
What Is Included in the EaseCert Digital Product Passport Service?
1. DPP Applicability & EU Regulatory Assessment
EaseCert starts by assessing your product against the relevant EU Digital Product Passport and ecodesign framework.
Depending on the product, our review may consider:
- Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 — Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)
- Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 — EU Batteries Regulation
- Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 — Construction Products Regulation
- Applicable ESPR product-specific delegated acts
- ESPR and Energy Labelling Working Plan 2025–2030
- Applicable Digital Product Passport standards
- DPP Registry requirements
- Manufacturer, importer and other economic-operator responsibilities
- Applicable implementation and transition dates
Where final product-specific DPP requirements are not yet applicable, EaseCert distinguishes between current legal obligations, upcoming requirements and voluntary DPP readiness preparation.
2. Product Data & Documentation Review
A Digital Product Passport depends on reliable product and supply-chain information. EaseCert reviews the information and supporting documentation supplied for your product and identifies relevant gaps.
Product information reviewed may include:
- Product name and description
- Model, SKU and product references
- GTIN or other relevant product identifiers
- Product category and intended use
- Manufacturer information
- EU importer or other responsible economic operator information
- Country and location of manufacture where relevant
- Product specifications
- Materials and composition
- Components and parts
- Supplier information
- Manufacturing and traceability information
- Recycled content information
- Sustainability information
- Durability and performance information
- Repair and maintenance information
- Recycling and end-of-life information
- User manuals and instructions
- Relevant test reports and certificates
- Declarations and compliance documentation
The exact information required for a Digital Product Passport depends on the applicable legislation and product-specific requirements. EaseCert does not apply a generic list of mandatory DPP fields where final legislation has not established them.
3. Digital Product Passport Data Structure
EaseCert structures the relevant information into an organised Digital Product Passport data framework suitable for the product and applicable requirements.
The passport may include structured sections for:
- Product identification
- Manufacturer and economic operator
- Product characteristics
- Materials and composition
- Manufacturing information
- Supply-chain information
- Sustainability information
- Durability and performance
- Repair and maintenance
- Recycling and end-of-life information
- Compliance documentation
- Traceability information
- Digital Product Passport identification information
4. Dedicated Online Digital Product Passport
Your product receives a dedicated online Digital Product Passport page through the EaseCert DPP platform.
The passport provides a structured digital location from which permitted product information can be accessed through a direct web link and associated data carrier.
Depending on the applicable requirements, different information can be structured for relevant users and economic operators.
5. Unique Product & Passport Identification
EaseCert helps structure the product identification information required for the Digital Product Passport implementation.
This may involve relevant product identifiers and passport identifiers at the product model, batch or individual-item level, depending on the applicable legislation.
The appropriate identification level must be determined according to the legislation applying to the specific product group and should not be assumed to be identical for every product.
6. Digital Product Passport QR Code
A QR code or other applicable data carrier can connect the physical product, packaging or accompanying documentation with its Digital Product Passport.
EaseCert generates a QR code linked to the relevant online passport for implementation with the product.
The QR code may be used, where permitted by the applicable requirements, on:
- Product labels
- Product packaging
- Hang tags
- User manuals
- Product documentation
- Other permitted accompanying materials
The final location and form of the data carrier must follow the legislation applicable to the specific product category.
7. EU Digital Product Passport Registry Preparation
The EU Digital Product Passport Registry became operational on 20 July 2026.
The Registry should not be confused with the complete Digital Product Passport. The EU DPP architecture is decentralised: the Registry functions as an EU-level indexing and registration infrastructure, while detailed passport information can remain hosted by the responsible economic operator or a DPP service provider.
Where registration is legally applicable to the product, EaseCert can prepare the relevant DPP structure and registration information for implementation with the EU Digital Product Passport Registry.
The exact Registry obligations depend on the applicable EU legislation for the product.
8. DPP Documentation Gap Analysis
One of the most important parts of Digital Product Passport preparation is identifying information that is missing before publication or future regulatory deadlines.
EaseCert reviews the available product, supplier and compliance information and identifies relevant documentation or data gaps.
Potential gaps may include:
- Missing product identifiers
- Incomplete manufacturer information
- Missing supplier documentation
- Incomplete material composition data
- Missing component information
- Insufficient traceability information
- Missing sustainability data
- Missing repair or end-of-life information
- Incomplete technical documentation
- Missing supporting test reports or declarations
Identifying these gaps early can help businesses establish more reliable product-data and supplier-documentation processes before relevant DPP requirements become mandatory.
9. Compliance Document Integration
Where appropriate, relevant supporting documents can be incorporated into or linked from the Digital Product Passport structure.
Supporting documentation may include:
- Declarations of Conformity
- Technical documentation
- Laboratory test reports
- Product certificates
- User instructions
- Safety information
- Material information
- Sustainability documentation
- Repair information
- Recycling instructions
Access to individual information and documents may need to vary according to the applicable DPP requirements and access rights.
10. DPP Review & Publication
EaseCert uses a structured review process before the Digital Product Passport is finalised.
Product Assessment → Data Collection → Documentation Review → Gap Identification → DPP Preparation → Final Review → Publication
If important information is missing, EaseCert identifies the relevant gaps so that they can be addressed before the passport is finalised where necessary.
11. Digital Product Passport Versioning & Updates
Product information can change during a product's lifecycle. The Digital Product Passport structure therefore supports maintaining updated product information and identifying the current passport version.
Updates may become relevant when there are changes to:
- Product specifications
- Materials
- Components
- Suppliers
- Manufacturing information
- Compliance documentation
- Sustainability information
- Repair information
- Applicable regulatory requirements
Future updates or substantial modifications after initial delivery may be subject to an additional service fee.

Digital Product Passport Service Price
€500 per Product Type
The €500 one-time service fee covers the assessment, preparation and initial Digital Product Passport creation for one product type, based on the information and documentation supplied by the customer.
Products with substantially different designs, materials, components, intended uses, specifications, supply chains or regulatory requirements may constitute separate product types and may require separate assessments and Digital Product Passports.
Where a company has a large product portfolio, EaseCert can begin with representative or priority product families and establish a scalable documentation and DPP structure for subsequent products.
Additional product types, substantial post-publication modifications, ongoing maintenance, special integrations, bulk implementation or other services outside the initial scope may be quoted separately.
Which Products May Be Affected by EU Digital Product Passport Requirements?
The EU is introducing Digital Product Passport requirements progressively rather than through a single universal deadline covering all products.
The ESPR and Energy Labelling Working Plan 2025–2030 identifies priority product groups for future ecodesign measures, including areas such as textiles/apparel, furniture, tyres, mattresses, iron and steel, and aluminium, alongside horizontal measures and relevant energy-related products.
Being identified as a priority product group does not by itself mean that every product in that category already requires a Digital Product Passport. The applicable product-specific legislation and its application date must be checked.
Digital Battery Passports
The EU Batteries Regulation contains one of the clearest established Digital Product Passport deadlines.
Under Article 77 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, from 18 February 2027, a battery passport is required for:
- LMT batteries (light means of transport batteries)
- Industrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh
- Electric vehicle batteries
Businesses dealing with these battery categories should therefore prioritise battery identification, supply-chain data, documentation and battery-passport readiness.
Digital Product Passports for Textiles & Apparel
Textiles, particularly garments and footwear, are a priority product group under the ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030.
Businesses in the textile and apparel sector can prepare by improving material composition data, supplier information, product identification and traceability systems. However, priority status or an indicative timetable for a product-specific measure should not be confused with the date on which businesses must comply with final DPP requirements.
Construction Product Digital Passports
The recast Construction Products Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 establishes a framework for a construction Digital Product Passport system.
The Regulation provides for the construction DPP system to be compatible and interoperable with the DPP established under the ESPR while reflecting the specific requirements of construction products.
Applicable delegated acts, implementation arrangements, product scope and transition provisions should be checked before determining the requirements for an individual construction product.
EU Digital Product Passport Technical Standards
In July 2026, the European Commission published references to six harmonised European standards supporting the technical Digital Product Passport framework:
- EN 18216:2026 — Digital Product Passport: Data exchange protocols
- EN 18219:2026 — Digital Product Passport: Unique identifiers
- EN 18220:2026 — Digital Product Passport: Data carriers
- EN 18221:2026 — Digital Product Passport: Data storage, archiving and persistence
- EN 18222:2026 — Digital Product Passport: APIs for product passport lifecycle management and searchability
- EN 18223:2026 — Digital Product Passport: System interoperability
These standards support important technical aspects of the EU DPP architecture. They do not, by themselves, establish all product-specific information requirements or make every product subject to a DPP obligation.
Why Prepare for Digital Product Passports Now?

Preparing early can help businesses:
- Identify missing product and supplier information
- Improve product-data quality
- Organise technical and compliance documentation
- Improve supply-chain traceability

Important Regulatory Information
The Digital Product Passport requirements applicable to a particular product depend on the relevant EU legislation, product category, delegated acts, scope, exemptions, transition provisions, application date and economic-operator role.
The operation of the EU Digital Product Passport Registry does not by itself create a DPP obligation for every product placed on the EU market.
Where product-specific requirements have not yet been finalised or become applicable, EaseCert can provide DPP readiness and product-data preparation based on the legislation and information available at the time of assessment.
A Digital Product Passport does not constitute EU certification, regulatory approval or confirmation that a product complies with every other EU legal requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EU Digital Product Passport (DPP)?
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured digital record containing information about a product. Depending on the applicable EU legislation, this may include product identification, manufacturer information, materials, sustainability, performance, repair, recycling, compliance and traceability information. The passport is digitally accessible through a data carrier, such as a QR code, where permitted by the applicable product-specific requirements.
Does every product sold in the EU need a Digital Product Passport?
No. The EU Digital Product Passport Registry is operational, but this does not mean that every product sold in the EU currently requires a DPP. Digital Product Passport obligations are being introduced progressively and depend on the product category, applicable legislation, product-specific delegated acts, exemptions, transition provisions and application dates.
What is included in the €500 Digital Product Passport service?
The €500 service fee covers the initial assessment and Digital Product Passport creation for one product type. Depending on the product and applicable requirements, the service includes a DPP applicability review, product-data assessment, supplier and documentation review, gap analysis, structured Digital Product Passport creation, dedicated online passport page, unique passport identification, QR-code implementation and initial publication.
What does “€500 per product type” mean?
The €500 fee applies to one product type assessed and prepared as one Digital Product Passport project. Products with substantially different designs, materials, components, intended uses, supply chains or regulatory requirements may need to be treated as separate product types and require separate assessments. EaseCert will review the product information to determine the appropriate scope.
What information do I need to provide?
You should provide the product information and documentation currently available to you. This may include product specifications, model or SKU information, manufacturer details, EU importer information, material and component data, supplier information, manufacturing information, sustainability data, test reports, declarations, certificates, manuals, repair information and recycling information. The exact information needed depends on the product and applicable EU requirements.
What happens if I do not have all the required product or supplier information?
You can still start the assessment. EaseCert will review the available information and identify relevant gaps. This can help you determine which additional product, supplier, material, sustainability, traceability or compliance information should be obtained before the Digital Product Passport is finalised or before applicable requirements become mandatory.
Will my product receive its own online Digital Product Passport?
Yes. As part of the service, the applicable product passport is prepared for publication through the EaseCert Digital Product Passport platform. The published passport has a dedicated digital location that can be accessed through its corresponding web link and QR code.
Will I receive a QR code for my Digital Product Passport?
Yes. EaseCert provides a QR code linked to the relevant Digital Product Passport. Depending on the applicable product-specific requirements, the data carrier may be placed on the product, packaging, label, documentation or another permitted location. The legally required location and format depend on the legislation applicable to the particular product.
Is a QR code the same as a Digital Product Passport?
No. The QR code is a data carrier that provides access to the Digital Product Passport. The DPP itself consists of the structured digital product information and associated systems required under the applicable legislation. Simply creating a QR code does not by itself create a compliant Digital Product Passport.
Is the EU Digital Product Passport Registry already operational?
Yes. The European Commission launched the EU Digital Product Passport Registry on 20 July 2026. However, the Registry becoming operational does not mean that all products immediately require registration or a Digital Product Passport. Applicability continues to depend on the legislation and requirements covering the relevant product.
Does the EU DPP Registry store the complete Digital Product Passport?
Not necessarily. The EU Digital Product Passport framework uses a decentralised architecture. The Registry serves as an EU-level registration and indexing infrastructure for relevant identifiers and registration information, while detailed passport data may remain hosted by the responsible economic operator or an appropriate Digital Product Passport service provider.
Can EaseCert help with EU DPP Registry preparation?
Yes. Where DPP registration is applicable to the product, EaseCert can help structure the relevant passport and registration information for implementation with the EU Digital Product Passport framework. The exact registration requirements depend on the legislation applicable to the specific product.
When do EU battery passports become mandatory?
Under Article 77 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, from 18 February 2027 a battery passport is required for each light means of transport (LMT) battery, each industrial battery with a capacity greater than 2 kWh and each electric vehicle battery placed on the market or put into service.
Do textiles and clothing already require a Digital Product Passport?
Textiles, particularly garments and footwear, are a priority product group under the ESPR and Energy Labelling Working Plan 2025–2030. However, priority status does not by itself mean that every textile or apparel product already requires a mandatory Digital Product Passport. The final product-specific requirements, scope, exemptions, transition arrangements and application dates must be considered under the applicable legislation.
Does a Digital Product Passport make my product EU compliant or CE certified?
No. A Digital Product Passport does not constitute EU product approval or certification and does not replace other applicable EU compliance obligations. Depending on the product, separate requirements may apply for CE marking, technical documentation, declarations, testing, labelling, safety information, traceability and other product-specific legislation.
Can supporting documents be included in the Digital Product Passport?
Where appropriate, relevant supporting information can be incorporated into or linked from the DPP structure. This may include declarations, test reports, certificates, technical information, user instructions, sustainability documentation, repair information and recycling instructions. Access to particular information may need to be controlled according to the applicable DPP requirements and access rights.
Can the Digital Product Passport be updated later?
Yes. The passport structure can support updates and version management where product information changes. Updates may be relevant following changes to materials, components, suppliers, manufacturing information, product specifications, compliance documentation or other passport data. Substantial post-publication changes or ongoing maintenance may be subject to an additional service fee.
Can EaseCert handle multiple products or a large product portfolio?
Yes. For businesses with multiple products, EaseCert can begin with representative or priority product families and establish a structured approach that can be scaled across the wider portfolio. Contact EaseCert for larger portfolios, multiple product types or bulk Digital Product Passport projects.
How do I get started?
Purchase the EaseCert EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) Creation & Implementation Service for €500 per product type.
