What is the Digital Product Passport?
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured, digital dataset that documents a product throughout its entire life cycle. The EU is gradually incorporating it into its product regulations, starting with batteries under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. Additional product groups will follow under the Ecodesign Regulation for Sustainable Products (ESPR).
The Digital Product Passport is designed as a compliance infrastructure and provides verifiable documentation of a product throughout its entire life cycle. Structured, interoperable, and independently verified data are crucial.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Digital Product Passport
What factors influence the effort involved?
The cost depends on several factors. We will provide a binding quote after conducting a needs analysis: number of product categories and models, availability and quality of existing product data, effort required for integration into existing systems (APIs), scope of verification, ongoing monitoring, and reporting.
When will the Digital Product Passport become mandatory?
Batteries first: the key deadline under the EU Battery Regulation is 2027. Other product groups will follow gradually under the Ecodesign Regulation for Sustainable Products (ESPR).
What information does a digital product passport contain?
Depending on the product group, this includes a unique product identifier as well as life cycle, safety, and performance data. Kiwa covers all required data fields for the Battery Passport.
Does Kiwa also verify the data?
Yes. As an independent body, Kiwa verifies the completeness and consistency of the data against regulatory requirements.
How does the product passport integrate with existing systems?
About APIs for static and dynamic data, as well as interoperability between various data sources, including an interface from R<THINK Share to product passport providers.
