Product passports for electronics.
The EU's indicative DPP timeline includes ICT product rules in 2029, but no general electronics DPP deadline is set. Smartphones and tablets already have separate repairability, spare-parts and energy labelling rules. Use a voluntary passport to organise product information and make it easier to share with buyers while future product-specific requirements take shape.
The dates that matter.
Expected data fields.
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 and software-support information. Future DPP fields are not final.
Product identity
- Unique product identifier (GTIN-compatible)
- Manufacturer name and EU operator ID
- Model number, SKU, type designation
- Date of manufacture, software version
Performance and energy
- Energy efficiency class (existing label)
- Power consumption (active, standby, networked)
- Expected service life
- Software support window
Materials and circularity
- Critical raw materials breakdown
- Recycled content percentages
- Plastic types and recyclability
- WEEE category and disposal info
Repair and lifecycle
- Reparability score (smartphones / tablets already mandatory)
- Spare-parts list with 7-year availability commitment
- Repair manual link
- End-of-life take-back channels
If you sell smartphones or tablets, the rules are already on.
Smartphone and tablet ecodesign requirements have applied since June 2025. Energy labels for relevant devices link to the EU's EPREL database. Product Passes helps you publish a separate, editable product information page; it does not register products in EPREL, issue an official energy label or certify compliance with future DPP rules.
Electronics DPP questions, answered.
When do electronics need a Digital Product Passport?
There is no single legal DPP deadline for all electronics. The European Commission's indicative DPP timeline lists ICT product rules for 2029; the exact scope, data and application date depend on future acts. Smartphones and slate tablets already have separate ecodesign and energy labelling rules. An energy-label QR code links to EPREL, not to a Product Passes passport.
Does the smartphone right-to-repair regulation overlap with DPP?
Smartphone and tablet ecodesign requirements apply from June 2025, alongside separate energy labelling rules. These cover repairability, parts and software support. A future DPP act may require additional data, but its exact fields have not been adopted. A Product Passes passport does not replace EPREL registration or the official energy label.
What electronics are covered?
The Commission's indicative plan includes ICT products in 2029 and has separate plans for energy-related products. It does not yet establish one DPP requirement covering every electronic device. Future product-specific acts will define the scope and required data.
Do batteries inside electronics need their own passport?
Battery passport duties depend on battery category, not simply whether the battery is removable. From 18 February 2027, EV batteries, light means of transport batteries and industrial batteries over 2 kWh need a battery passport under the Batteries Regulation. That does not create a general DPP duty for consumer electronics or automatically place embedded-battery data in a device passport.
