Description
The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) published a technical methodology report for defining Digital Product Passport (DPP) data requirements under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) framework. The document provides an implementation-oriented approach intended to support ESPR preparatory studies and the development of product-specific delegated acts that will define whether a DPP is required, and what data must be included (content, granularity, access/governance, and related system considerations). Compliance and product data teams can use this methodology to design DPP data models and anticipate how future ESPR delegated acts may structure DPP data requirements.
