Europe's Digital Product Passport end to end - the ESPR law, the data, the registry, and the battery passport.
What you'll learn
Explain what a Digital Product Passport is and why the EU is mandating it through the ESPR
Place the ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) in context and identify the articles that create the DPP
Describe the unique product identifier, the data carrier (QR, NFC, RFID), and the role of the DPP registry
Read the DPP data model: the essential information, the three data tiers, and the JRC data-method levels
Apply the tiered access rights - what the public, businesses, and authorities can each see
Work the battery passport (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542) as the first mandatory DPP, live from 18 February 2027
Place your product against the ESPR working plan and the prioritised product groups, and tell when it is likely caught
Assign the duties correctly across manufacturers, importers, retailers, and online marketplaces, including for SMEs
Navigate the standards and interoperability landscape (the EN 18216-18223 series, GS1, hosting choices)
Run a practical readiness path: gap analysis, architecture options, integration, timeline, and cost buckets
Tell what is in force from what is only scheduled or expected, every claim dated to mid-2026
Requirements
No prior knowledge of EU product or ecodesign law is needed - the course builds from first principles
A basic sense of your own products and supply chain makes the worked examples and readiness path concrete
Useful whether you make, import, sell, or build software for products placed on the EU market
Description This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. The narration uses an AI text-to-speech voice, and the slides, animations, scripts, and written materials were produced with the help of AI tools. Every factual claim - dates, figures, and regulatory details - was checked against primary and authoritative sources and reviewed by a human for accuracy.
Every physical product sold in the European Union is about to carry a second self. Not a label and not a barcode that only a till can read, but a digital record anyone with a phone can open: what the thing is made of, how to repair it, what is recycled inside it, and what happens to it at the end of its life. That record is the Digital Product Passport, and it arrives through the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, with the battery passport leading the way in February 2027. This course follows the passport from the law that creates it to the data it carries and the work a company has to do to be ready.
It is built in a deliberate order: why the passport exists, the ESPR framework that mandates it, what a passport actually is (the unique identifier, the data carrier, the registry behind it), the data model and its tiered access rights, the battery passport as the first real example, the product groups that follow, the duties on manufacturers, importers and retailers, the standards and interoperability work, and a practical implementation path. You get the picture a compliance lead needs and the architecture a developer needs, in one place rather than scattered across press releases and draft acts.
This field moves fast, so every date and obligation here is pinned to where things stood in the middle of 2026, with what is in force kept clearly apart from what is only scheduled or still expected. You finish able to tell whether and when the passport bites for your products, what data you will owe, who can see which parts of it, and how to start building the record now rather than in a panic later.
Who this course is for
Product, sustainability, and compliance managers at manufacturers, importers, and retailers selling into the EU
Supply-chain, quality, and data professionals who will have to collect and host passport data
Developers, solution architects, and standards people building DPP systems, registries, and integrations
Consultants and product teams who need a structured, current account of the DPP rather than the headlines
Anyone tracking EU circular-economy rules who wants to know when and how the passport actually bites
