EU's Digital Product Passport Registry goes live for testing
It is designed for businesses placing products on the EU market, including steel, aluminium, tyres, large batteries and construction products.
The Registry has been established under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation as a digital container of product information.
The aims are to strengthen supply chain transparency, support more informed consumer choices and facilitate compliance across the Single Market.
Registration is available through either a secure user interface or an application programming interface (API), enabling economic operators to integrate registration into their existing digital systems where appropriate, explains the Europeean Commission.
Economic operators can also request proof-of-registration in the form of a secure electronic document. This can be used to demonstrate compliance with third parties, particularly in business-to-business (B2B) transactions.
The current testing phase will help ensure a smooth roll-out ahead of the first implementation deadline on 18 February 2027 for certain types of large batteries.
A dedicated helpdesk is also available to support businesses throughout the registration process.
