This document provides an overview of the eight European standards underpinning the Digital Product Passport (DPP), explaining their role, scope, and interrelation within the framework established by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
The DPP standards are developed by CEN-CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 24 (JTC 24). Developed under Standardization Request (M/604), these harmonised standards provide a presumption of conformity with ESPR requirements when correctly applied. Together, they establish a unified DPP system to be deployed in sector-specific DPP delegated acts.
It is intended for stakeholders involved in the development, implementation, or use of DPP-related systems and data, including manufacturers, importers, distributors, repairers, recyclers, digital service providers, public authorities, and organisations working with data infrastructure, interoperability, and standardisation. Consumers are offered easy-to-use access to product data via DPPs.
The purpose is to support a shared understanding of the DPP standards landscape. It should be read alongside the relevant standards and delegated acts, which remain the authoritative sources for detailed requirements.
