EuroWindoor feedback on DPP rules for service providers economic operator

This consultation relates to the digital product passport (DPP) as set out in the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The ESPR sets out a framework to improve the environmental sustainability of products and to ensure free movement in the single market by setting ecodesign requirements that products must fulfil to be placed on the market or put into service.

The DPP will electronically register, process and share product information among supply-chain businesses, authorities and consumers, including on a product’s sustainability and circularity. This information will improve the understanding and monitoring of supply chains and enable consumers to make well-informed choices based on sustainability criteria.

DPPs will gradually be introduced for product groups placed on the EU market based on ESPR delegated acts and other applicable sectoral legislation. As a start, from 18 February 2027, DPPs will become mandatory for certain types of batteries.

To prepare for these first product groups to be covered, the Commission is working on a delegated act setting out the requirements for DPP service providers, in areas such as:

» information security and (information) services of DPP data that responsible economic operators entrust to DPP service providers;

» the financial viability of the DPP service providers to guarantee long-term access to DPP information; and

» assurance for businesses that DPP service providers comply with the requirements.
