EU product passport (DPP) requirements – What companies need to know now?
What do EU product passport (DPP) requirements mean?
EU DPP requirements are based on the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which aims to increase product transparency, circularity and responsibility across the EU.
In practice this means that a product must have a digital product passport that includes, among other things:
-
Product material composition
-
Hazardous substances
-
Recyclability and repairability
-
Carbon footprint and environmental impacts
-
Certificates and compliance
-
Manufacturing and supply chain information
Product passport information must be available in digital form and linkable to an individual identifier, such as a QR code.
Who do the DPP requirements apply to?
The DPP requirements apply to product groups in phases. In the first phase, for example, the following are included:
-
Electronics and batteries
-
Textiles
-
Construction products
-
Furniture
Regulation expands gradually, and in the long term almost all physical products will fall under the DPP requirements. This means that manufacturers, importers and distributors will need to manage product information more systematically.
What does DPP require of a company's product data?
The EU product passport is not just an additional information field but requires structured, up-to-date and standardized data.
Companies are required to:
-
Centralized product information management
-
Use of standards (e.g., ETIM, GS1)
-
Real-time updatability
-
Traceability of data across the entire supply chain
-
Ability to share data digitally with different stakeholders
Without a proper data structure, complying with DPP requirements becomes a heavy and manual process.

Summary: The EU product passport requires structured data management
The EU product passport (DPP) requirements are not a one-off project but a permanent change in product data management. Companies with data scattered across Excel and different systems will face significant challenges.
With Pimmix, product data can be managed centrally, connected to all necessary systems, and sent or received automatically to all stakeholders. This makes meeting DPP requirements manageable and efficient.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about EU DPP requirements
Is the EU product passport mandatory for all products?
Not yet, but the regulation will expand in phases. In the long term, almost all products will fall under the DPP.
When will DPP requirements come into force?
The first product groups are expected to come into effect from around 2026, after which the expansion will continue gradually.
Can current product data be sufficient for DPP?
Partially, but data often needs to be supplemented, normalized and restructured.
Is a new system needed for DPP?
Not necessarily, but without centralized product information management, meeting the requirements is difficult. Pimmix enables this without a heavy IT project.
