DEP Call 4 - Digital Prodcut Passport

The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a key initiative under the Digital Europe Programme aimed at enhancing circular economy through improved cooperation and information exchange among stakeholders. It will provide essential data on product sustainability, support compliance verification, and facilitate new business models while being developed in phases with a focus on standardization and interoperability. The DPP pilot will test its deployment in at least two complex value chains, aiming to validate its effectiveness and gather insights for further standardization needs.

DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORT
A key tool for Circular Economy supporting Cooperation & Information exchange

Cooperation among manufacturers,


retailers, repairers, recyclers, is
essential to enable these ‘circles’
Digital Product Passport – expected benefits

Tracking of raw materials Enable manufacturers to create Tracking the life story of a product,
extraction/production, products digital twins, embedding enabling services related to its
supporting due diligence all the information required remanufacturing, reparability, re-

recyclability, new business models

Digital Product Passport – the legal construct
DPP introduced by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) on 30.3.2022

There are 3 ‘stages’ on the road to full operationalisation of the DPP:

1. Introduction of the concept, description of the scope, identification of some key features already in
the ESP Regulation (art. 2, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13)

1. Identification of essential technical requirements to be developed through standardisation


process. A safety clause is introduced in case of delays or quality of the standards not ‘fit for
purpose’. In such case the Commission shall adopt common specifications with the technical
requirements needed (art. 10, 35).

2. Identification of the specific information to be included in the DPP for each product regulated when
developing the corresponding Delegated Act (art. 7, Annex III)
Key features as described in the ESPR
• No proprietary solutions: All information included in the product passport shall be written in an open,
standard, inter-operable format and shall be machine-readable, structured, and searchable, in
accordance with the essential requirements included in Article 9.

• Granularity: The information included in the product passport shall refer to the product model, batch
or item as specified in the applicable delegated act referred to in Article 5(1).

• Access rights (‘need-to-know’): the access to information included in the passport shall be regulated
in accordance with the essential requirements included in Article 9. The specific access rights at
product group level will be identified in the applicable delegated act referred to in Article 5(1).

• Liability: The economic operator placing the product on the market is responsible for making
available the EU DPP and for the information included therein.

• Track & tracing: Article 11 specifies that unique operator identifiers and unique facility identifiers may
be requested. These are key information component to allow the track & tracing of information along
the supply chain
Further elements to be considered by the pilot
There are some key decisions that have already been taken, when designing the DPP, and that
should be adequately reflected in the pilot proposal In particular:

• The DPP shall specifically and uniquely identify / be linked to products or components,
not a document or a website

• DPP is based on a decentralised approach for data storage

• Access to DPP-data based on a need-to-know basis (there will be public and restricted
data)

• All standards should be global and open. The starting point should be existing international
standards (ISO and/or IEC). When those are not considered sufficient, they should be
complemented with existing standard at EU level (CEN). When this is not sufficient, they
should be complemented with existing standards at national or fora level
DPP design

DPP-system DPP-data
(to be developed before DPP deployment) (to be identified when developing product-
Digital Product Passport group specific secondary legislation)

Possible Track & Trace identifiers


• All standards and protocols related to the IT architecture, • Economic operator’s name, registered trade name
like standards on: • Global Trade Identification Number or equivalent
• TARIC code
 Data carriers and unique identifiers • Global location number
• Authorised representative
 Access rights management • Reference of the back-up data repository
 Interoperability (technical, semantic, organisation), • …

including data exchange protocols and formats Example of potential attributes


 Data storage • Description of the material, component, or product
• Recycled content
 Data processing (introduction, modification, update)
• Substances of concern
 Data authentication, reliability, and integrity • Environmental footprint profile
• Classes of performance
 Data security and privacy
• Technical parameters
• …
• The DPP registry
The timing of the DEP projects and legislative work

There are 3 ‘milestone’ introduced ahead of the full operationalisation of the DPP:

1. Introduction of the concept, description of the scope, identification of some key features already in
the ESP Regulation (art. 2, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13)

2. CIRPASS.eu – October 2022 - March 2024

3. DPP Pilot – expected to start in Q2 – flexibility is expected from the consortium to adapt to
the evolving legal developments

4. Identification of essential technical requirements to be developed through standardisation


process. A safety clause is introduced in case of delays or quality of the standards not ‘fit for
purpose’. In such case the Commission shall adopt common specifications with the technical
requirements needed (art. 10, 35).

5. Identification of the specific information to be included in the DPP for each product regulated when
developing the corresponding Delegated Act (art. 7, Annex III)
DPP Pilot of the Digital Europe Programme 1/3
• 1 Pilot in at least 2 ( complex) value chains /product categories, except batteries

• 6M€, simple grant - 50% funding

• Deployment at scale, with numerous economic actors – including SMEs,

• Manageable consortium of EU beneficiaries, international organisations are eligible to


receive funding in case they are organisations for which the majority of members are
Member States or whose headquarters are in a Member State. If this is not the case,
they can still participate as associated partners, i.e. without funding.

• Finding out in real setting the technical, legal and organisation challenges as well
economic and sustainability benefits of enhanced B2B, B2C and B2B communication
and data sharing

• Important to demonstrate well-functioning of the DPP system serving at least two value
chains with standards preferably chosen from the list published by the StandICT report
https://www.standict.eu/landscape-analysis-report/landscape-digital-product-passport-standards
DPP Pilot of the Digital Europe Programme 2/3

Objectives:

• To enable sharing of key product related information that are essential for products’ sustainability
and circularity, including those specified in Annex III of ESPR proposal

• To accelerate the transition to circular economy, boosting material and energy efficiency,
extending products lifetimes and optimizing products design, manufacturing, use and end of life
handling.

• To provide new business opportunities to economic actors through circular value retention and
optimisation (for example product-as-a-service activities, improved repair, servicing,
remanufacturing, and recycling) based on improved access to data;

• To help consumers in making sustainable choices;

• To allow authorities to verify compliance with legal obligations.


DPP Pilot of the Digital Europe Programme 3/3

Outcomes and deliverables


• Deployed and validated at scale and real life setting Digital Product Passports in at least two value chains.
• Report on further needs for standardisation and specifications to ensure interoperability, security, and
acceptance by all the stakeholders.
• Recommendations based on the lessons learnt for the deployments of DPP in other value chains.

KPIs to measure outcomes and deliverables:


• Number of actors in value chain of varying sizes including the number of consumers’ interactions;
• Number of products targeted within each value chain;
• Number of interactions, speed, user friendliness of the system in particular for SMEs, cyber security and
performance; and
• Rating of consumes’ and market authorities understanding of information in the DPP and their satisfaction.
