First Digital Product Passport (DPP) Standards Published
The digital product passport is a solution that allows presenting the most important information about a product in one place throughout its entire lifecycle.
The first six harmonized digital product passport standards have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. They establish the main technical requirements to be followed when creating and implementing the digital product passport.
“Until now, the legal basis for the emergence of digital product passports has been mainly prepared. With the publication of the first standards, businesses and IT solution developers now have clearer technical guidelines to rely on when developing digital product passport solutions,” says Indrė Lasionienė, a standards expert at GS1 Lithuania.

Along with the first standards, the European Commission also introduced the digital product passport register. It is intended to register digital product passports and will help ensure the unified operation of the DPP system across the European Union.
What Does This Mean for Business?
The publication of the first DPP standards means that businesses can already start actively preparing for upcoming requirements.

“This is a good time for companies to assess their product data and information systems, as the smooth implementation of the digital product passport will depend on them,” says GS1 standards expert I. Lasionienė.
The first mandatory DPP application phase is scheduled for February 18, 2027, when it will become mandatory for certain types of batteries.
Later, the requirements will gradually apply to other specified product groups, including textiles, iron and steel products, electronics, toys, furniture, and construction products.
