What is a digital product passport?
A digital product passport (DPP) is a structured digital record of a product’s identity, materials, and lifecycle data, accessible via a QR or NFC link.
The EU digital product passport is a regulatory instrument requiring products to carry structured, accessible data on materials, certifications and sustainability. It is linked to the physical item through a standard identification link and served to consumers, authorities and systems. Junction issues DPPs over a public REST API following IEC 61406.
FAQ
Who needs a DPP?
A product needs a DPP only when its delegated act or sector law requires one. Batteries are first, from 18 February 2027, and more categories follow in phases.
Does a DPP require blockchain?
No. Junction serves DPPs over a public API with no blockchain, token or gas cost.
