Consumer electronics and ICT are not in the EU's first ESPR Working Plan — the earliest entry point is the 2028 review, which puts a mandatory DPP realistically at 2030 or later. But smartphones and tablets already carry reparability and spare-parts obligations under EU 2023/1670, and buyers increasingly expect passport-level transparency. Publishing a DPP now is a voluntary lead — and a head start for when the mandate lands.
Based on existing smartphone regulation, energy label rules, and the direction of the ESPR framework. Smartphones and tablets must already publish a reparability score, spare-parts list, and 5-year software-update commitment — a DPP extends this.
EU Regulation 2023/1670 has been in force since June 2025. Every smartphone or tablet sold in the EU must publish a reparability score, list spare parts available for 7 years, and commit to software updates for 5 years. A QR-linked product fiche is already mandatory. The full DPP wraps this into one passport with materials data on top. productpasses.com's electronics template covers both today's obligation and the upcoming DPP fields.
There is no legal DPP deadline for electronics yet. Consumer electronics and ICT are not in the ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030 — the earliest entry point is the 2028 mid-term review, which puts a mandatory DPP realistically at 2030 or later. That said, the EU energy label already requires a QR-linked product fiche for many devices today, and that infrastructure carries forward to the DPP.
Yes. The Smartphones and Tablets Ecodesign Regulation (EU 2023/1670) is already in force since June 2025 — it mandates a reparability score, spare parts availability for 7 years, and software updates for 5 years. The full DPP requirement extends this with materials data, recycled content, and lifecycle information.
Nothing is legally scoped yet — electronics are not in the current ESPR Working Plan. If they enter via the 2028 review, the likely candidates are smartphones, tablets, laptops, monitors, TVs, household appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators), small consumer electronics, ICT equipment, and lighting. Subcategories with existing ecodesign rules (e.g. smartphones, household appliances) would likely move first.
Removable batteries follow the Battery Regulation 2023/1542 separately. From Feb 2027, any battery over 2 kWh has its own DPP. For consumer electronics with embedded batteries under 2 kWh, the data is included in the device DPP — no separate battery passport required for that case.
