What has to be inside a product passport?
ESPR arrives product group by product group. The format is the easy part; knowing what is in the product is not.
The passport is the easy part. Knowing what is in the product is not
ESPR lets the Commission set requirements product group by product group through delegated acts, and a Digital Product Passport is one of them. So there is no single date — the question is when the act covering your products arrives. Textiles and batteries are early.
What takes the time is not the format. It is being able to state, per item or per batch, what the product is made of, where those materials came from, and what carbon they carry.
A record that can be checked, not a claim that must be believed
A passport whose figures cannot be traced to their source is a nicer format for the same unverifiable claim. Ours is a signed record: a W3C Verifiable Credential issued under a did:web identity, addressed by a GS1 Digital Link, resolving to a public page anyone can open.
The carbon figure inside it is not typed in. It is produced by the same engine that produces your product footprints, and it carries its commitment so a reader can recompute it.
What a scan shows, and what it does not
The public view carries composition, certificates, care, carbon and provenance. It does not carry your suppliers, your quantities or your prices — a passport is a consumer-facing document, and the commercial detail behind it stays behind it.
What we issue today
Signed credential
W3C Verifiable Credential, Ed25519, under a did:web identity.
GS1 Digital Link
The identifier scheme retail and logistics already resolve.
Public scan page
One URL, readable by anyone, no account required.
Carbon with its receipt
The footprint is recomputable, not asserted.
Batch or item granularity
Per lot where that is what you produce, per item where it is not.
Conformity is act-specific
Whether a passport satisfies a given delegated act depends on that act, and we will not claim otherwise.
FAQ
When do we need a Digital Product Passport?
There is no single date. ESPR gives the Commission the power to set requirements product group by product group through delegated acts, so the answer depends on when the act covering your products arrives. Textiles and batteries are early.
The work that takes time is not the passport format. It is being able to state, per product, what it is made of and where that came from.
Is your product passport the official EU one?
It is a signed, machine-readable product record built on the structures the EU work points at — a W3C Verifiable Credential, a GS1 Digital Link, a public scan URL.
Whether a given passport satisfies a particular delegated act is a question about that act, and we will not claim conformity with a requirement that has not been written for your product group yet.
