As of July 17, the DPPRegistry—the European registry where companies can register their digital product passports—is now operational.
A helpful clarification: The Registry does not contain the digital product passport itself. It contains an identifier that points to where the company hosts the DPP data.
Therefore, DPP-specific information—such as materials, traceability, recycled content, reparability, and other details—remains within the economic operator’s own infrastructure; the operator must maintain this information and is responsible for it throughout the product’s entire life cycle.
The following may be registered:
– both legal entities (companies),
– and individuals operating as independent economic operators,
since the verification procedure is tailored to the type of entity, but the underlying logic remains the same for both.
To register a DPP, the organization must first be verified. The process involves:
– entering company information,
– downloading a declaration,
– the legal representative’s digital signature using a qualified electronic signature (QES or QSeal),
– uploading the signed document for validation.
Once the verification is complete, the actual registration is unlocked via an online form for a single product, or through a bulk upload of up to 100 products at a time.
Registration can be performed at three levels of granularity:
– model,
– lot,
– individual item,
although, for now, batteries (the first product group covered) are only registered at the item level.
Other sectors, such as furniture, fashion, mattresses, and tires, will follow gradually, in line with the Ecodesign Work Plan and the publication of delegated acts.
As Matrec, we participate as stakeholders in the Commission’s working groups to define the content of the delegated acts. We are monitoring the evolution of the DPP and the registry, particularly for projects where the structure of product identification processes is already being incorporated into customers’ ESPR compliance roadmaps.
