Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 — Ecodesign for Sustainable Products (in force Jul 18, 2024)
What the law requires
Under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (entered into force July 18, 2024), products placed on the EU market will progressively require a Digital Product Passport — sector by sector — through delegated acts. The passport links a unique product identifier to verifiable information about composition, origin, repair, recycling, and environmental footprint, accessible to consumers, repairers, recyclers, customs, and market surveillance.
- Unique product identifier (UPID) for each item, batch, or model
- Machine-readable data carrier — QR code, NFC tag, or digital watermark
- Persistent link to a registry the European Commission operates
- Information on materials, substances of concern, durability, and reparability
- Environmental footprint and end-of-life instructions
- Multilingual presentation across EU jurisdictions
- Selective disclosure — different data for consumers, repairers, recyclers, and authorities
- Continuity of access for the product's full lifetime
How PRVNZ aligns
- Issuance pipelines designed to produce ESPR-compliant UPIDs from your existing PIM or ERP
- Built to connect to the central EU DPP registry as it comes online, sector by sector
- Selective disclosure — show only what each audience is entitled to see
- Localization across all 27 member-state languages
- Lifetime persistence by saving passports to multiple verification environments, so no single vendor can take your data offline
