The European Commission has launched two major consultations that could reshape product compliance across the EU. 

The key question: should Digital Product Passports become the foundation for product compliance, market surveillance and online product safety?

With the planned EU Product Act set for Q3 2026, now is your chance to help shape how compliance information will be created, shared and verified.

 Who should respond: manufacturers, importers, distributors and authorised representatives.

 🔗 Participate here, responses open until 4 February 2026 (EU Login required).

What’s being asked

  • Should product labelling be fully digitalised?
  • Would digital compliance data via DPPs support customs and authorities?
  • Which data carrier (QR code, RFID, NFC) should access the DPP?
  • Should online product listings always include the compliance information in a DPP?

Why it matters and what to do now

Today’s compliance model is fragmented and paper-heavy, especially in cross-border commerce. DPPs could enable structured digital compliance data, real-time authority access, and clearer online disclosure, while reducing packaging/documentation burden over time.
