Does the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) refer to the GS1 GTIN?

Modified on Wed, 18 Jun at 10:03 AM

Yes, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) refers to the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), which is based on the ISO/IEC 15459 standard for unique identifiers, as part of its framework for the Digital Product Passport (DPP). 


The ESPR mandates that products sold in the EU include a unique product identifier in their DPP. The GTIN is explicitly mentioned as one of the acceptable identifiers. 


This aligns with the regulation's requirement for unique identification to facilitate data sharing across the supply chain.
