What is a Digital Product Passport?
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital container for information about a product, component or material. It is accessed through a data carrier such as a QR code, while the exact required data and compliance date are set product by product by EU delegated acts or sector-specific legislation.
DPP Shield capabilities
One workflow from source evidence to a controlled product passport.
The platform keeps the data, documents, rules and publication history connected so teams can see what is complete, what needs review and what has been shared.
Validation
Run data-quality and business-rule checks and surface gaps before publication.
Category rule packs
Structure records with templates adapted to 17 product categories.
Registry readiness
Prepare identifiers, metadata and structured records for applicable EU DPP requirements.
Controlled publishing
Use approvals and permissions to control which verified information is published.
Version history
Track changes, preserve an audit trail and maintain product information over time.
Supplier workflow
Invite suppliers, request evidence and monitor missing inputs in one workspace.
API and webhooks
Connect product systems and automate exchanges with documented integrations.
Operational workflow
Five steps from product data to publication.
Start with the facts and evidence you already have, then progressively structure, review and publish the passport.
Collect product data
Record identity, materials, components, specifications and applicable product attributes.
Gather supplier evidence
Request certificates, declarations and supporting documents from the supply chain.
Validate with rule packs
Check required fields, data quality and sector-specific preparation rules.
Prepare registry-ready records
Structure identifiers, metadata and the information required by the applicable rules.
Publish and maintain
Share the passport through a data carrier and keep changes versioned and traceable.
Implementation services
Software plus a practical DPP preparation path.
DPP Shield supports implementation, evidence preparation and controlled publication without claiming that every product already has the same legal deadline or data set.
1. Implementation
Map product data, configure the DPP workspace and onboard internal teams and suppliers.
2. Compliance preparation
Review evidence, apply relevant rule packs and prepare records for the applicable framework.
3. Publication and integration
Generate data carriers, manage approvals and connect DPP data through APIs and webhooks.
Two platforms, two complementary jobs.
Use the workspace that matches the operational problem instead of forcing customs, product-safety and DPP data into one undifferentiated tool.

dppshield.comRegulatory foundation
The DPP is progressive, product-specific and evidence-driven.
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation establishes the DPP framework. The applicable delegated act or separate sector legislation determines which products need a passport, the required data, the data carrier and the compliance date.
Being listed in an ESPR working plan does not by itself make a DPP immediately mandatory. Confirm the final product-specific rule before presenting a deadline as legally binding.

Digital Product Passport questions
Does every product sold in the EU need a DPP now?+
No. The obligation is introduced progressively. Product-specific delegated acts under ESPR or separate sector legislation determine the covered products, required data and compliance date.
Who is responsible for creating and maintaining the DPP?+
Responsibility generally sits with the economic operator placing the covered product on the EU market. The exact role can depend on the applicable legislation and supply chain.
What information belongs in a Digital Product Passport?+
The data set is product-specific. It may include identifiers, materials, sustainability and circularity data, compliance evidence, repair information and end-of-life instructions when the applicable rules require them.
Is a QR code always required?+
A DPP must be accessible through the data carrier defined by the applicable rules. A QR code is a common option, but the permitted carrier and placement depend on the product-specific requirements.
What is the role of GS1 Digital Link?+
GS1 Digital Link can connect a product identifier to online information through a scannable carrier. Whether and how it is used must remain compatible with the applicable DPP identifier and data-carrier rules.
What is the difference between EU Seller Kit and DPP Shield?+
EU Seller Kit focuses on EU market access, customs, GPSR, CE and related compliance workflows. DPP Shield is the dedicated platform for Digital Product Passport data, evidence, validation, publication and lifecycle management.
Can a company start before its legal DPP deadline?+
Yes. Mapping data, suppliers, identifiers and evidence early can expose gaps before a product-specific obligation applies. Preparation is not the same as claiming that a passport is already legally required.
