European Commission launches consultation on the Digital Product Passport system (service providers and possible certification scheme)

The European Commission launched a public consultation on the Digital Product Passport (DPP) system, focusing on how DPP data may be stored/managed by service providers and whether a certification scheme is needed for such providers. This consultation is directly relevant to companies planning DPP implementation architectures and vendor strategies, because future delegated/implementing measures could impose requirements on DPP service providers and assurance models that affect data hosting, interoperability, and compliance evidence management.
