ESPR · Digital Product Passport
Your buyers are already asking for a Digital Product Passport. Can you show one?
Under ESPR, EU buyers increasingly require Digital Product Passport readiness in their procurement — often before the legal deadline for your category arrives. No passport, and you risk losing the tender. Find out where your products stand.
The commercial pressure
The contract is lost before the law even bites.
- 1
The buyer asks
EU customers increasingly require a DPP roadmap in tenders and supplier questionnaires — ahead of the legal date.
- 2
You can't show one
Without product data structured for a Digital Product Passport, you can't answer — and can't prove readiness.
- 3
Dropped from the tender
Buyers move to suppliers who can. Commercial pressure arrives years before enforcement does.
How ESPR rolls out
No single deadline — it phases in by product category.
ESPR is a framework regulation; each product category gets its own delegated act and date. Preparing the data typically takes 12–18 months, so the category timeline matters now even if your date looks distant.
- Batteries — Digital passport from February 2027
- Textiles & apparel — delegated act expected ~2027
- Furniture — expected 2028
- Iron, steel, electronics and more — rolling toward most physical products by 2030
Who is in scope
Makers and importers of regulated products.
ESPR applies to companies that manufacture or place the covered product categories on the EU market. As each category's delegated act takes effect, products in that category need a Digital Product Passport to be sold in the EU.
What a passport requires
A data carrier linking to verified product data.
Exact fields vary by category, but a Digital Product Passport generally requires:
- A data carrier — typically a QR or data-matrix code on the product
- Material composition and origin
- Repairability, durability and recycled content
- End-of-life and recycling information

Frequently asked questions about ESPR
Does ESPR apply to my products?
ESPR applies to companies that manufacture or import the covered product categories for the EU market. Categories phase in by delegated act — batteries first (February 2027), then textiles, furniture, iron and steel, electronics and more toward 2030. The free scan helps you see whether your products are in an in-scope or upcoming category.
When is my category's deadline?
There is no single ESPR date. Each category gets its own delegated act and timeline: batteries February 2027, textiles ~2027, furniture ~2028, with most physical products expected to be covered by 2030. Because data collection takes 12–18 months, preparation should start well ahead of your category's date.
What is a Digital Product Passport?
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured record of a product's sustainability and circularity data — materials, composition, repairability, recycled content, end-of-life — accessed via a data carrier such as a QR code on the product. The exact fields depend on the product category.
What data will I need to collect?
Typically material composition and origin, durability and repairability, recycled content, and end-of-life information — linked from a QR or data-matrix code. Requirements vary by category and are set in each delegated act.
Is this legal advice?
No. EXTO is a diagnostic tool: it identifies your gaps and generates an action plan your fiduciary can execute. It replaces neither legal advice nor certification.
