Description
The JRC published a Science for Policy Report providing recommendations for Digital Product Passport data requirements for iron and steel products under the ESPR Regulation. The study defines proposed mandatory data attributes including product identification, producer information, material compliance (REACH SVHC declarations), environmental information (carbon footprint, recycled content), and circularity data. The report establishes granularity levels (model-level, batch-level, item-level) and an access rights framework for different stakeholder roles. This guidance will inform the upcoming delegated act for iron and steel DPP requirements.
