Description

The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre published a technical methodology describing how Digital Product Passport (DPP) data requirements can be defined under the ESPR framework (e.g., translating policy objectives and use cases into structured data requirements, including prioritisation such as essential/recommended/voluntary and considerations like governance and access rights). This is not itself a binding legal change, but it is an official implementation-support reference that compliance teams can use to anticipate how upcoming ESPR delegated acts may structure DPP information requirements and to inform internal data-model, governance, and system-readiness planning.
