Digital Product Passports across industries

Digital Product Passport by industry: questions, answered

Which products need a Digital Product Passport first?
Batteries, from February 2027, under the Battery Regulation. Textiles are first under ESPR, with the delegated act expected in 2027 and passports required about 18 months after. Furniture, tyres and mattresses follow.
Do the rules apply if we are not based in the EU?
Yes. Every rule on this page follows the product to the EU market, not the seller. An importer or a marketplace becomes responsible when no EU manufacturer exists.
We sell across several of these industries. Do we need several passports?
One passport per product, in one data model. The fields differ by product group, the platform does not. Sports brands with apparel and hardgoods run both from the same Tappr account.
What can we do before our delegated act is adopted?
The identifier, the data carrier and the supplier data pipeline do not change with the act. Give every product a GS1 identifier, map your data to the expected fields, and start collecting from suppliers for one product group. Book a demo to see it on your own products.
