Digital Product Passport
The Digital Product Passport, from the regulation to the record
The EU is making a machine-readable passport a condition of market access, one product group at a time. These pages set out what the texts require, in the order a manufacturer meets them — and what a Listrar passport page does with it.
In this section
What is a Digital Product Passport?
The definition in ESPR, what a passport contains, how it resolves, and when it becomes mandatory.
Digital Product Passport requirements
The identifiers, data categories, carrier and access rules of articles 9 to 13, and what each delegated act adds.
Digital Product Passport compliance
The steps from the applicable act to a passport that resolves, with the evidence behind each field.
The Digital Product Passport registry
The EU central registry of passport identifiers, and how it differs from a product registry such as Listrar.
Digital Product Passport software
What a passport system has to do, and what Listrar does and does not do.
The battery passport
The first mandatory passport: Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, per individual battery, from 18 February 2027.
By text and by sector
The passport rules sit in ESPR (EU) 2024/1781 and, for batteries, in Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. The sector pages follow the Commission's timeline: textiles and furniture are in the first working plan, and each fact sheet states which fields a Listrar record already holds for its text.
