ESPR Article 10 “Requirements for the digital product passport” states the following :
“1. A digital product passport shall comply with the following essential requirements:
(a) it shall be connected through a data carrier to a persistent unique product identifier;
(b) the data carrier shall be physically present on the product, its packaging or on documentation accompanying the product, as specified in the applicable delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 4;
(c) the data carrier and the unique product identifier shall comply with one or more of the standards referred to in Annex III, second paragraph, or equivalent European or international standards until the references of harmonised standards are published in the Official Journal of the European Union;
(d) all data included in the digital product passport shall be based on open standards, developed with an interoperable format, and shall be, as appropriate, machine-readable, structured, searchable, and transferable through an open interoperable data exchange network without vender lock-in, in accordance with the essential requirements set out in this Article and Article 11;’’
Under those conditions, all ISO compliant internationally standardised data carriers will qualify. It is important to wait until the EU upcoming delegated Acts embedding DPP per sector, to check if there will be additional specific requirements.
