What is a Digital Product Passport?

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a machine-readable, publicly verifiable digital identity for a physical product. It records the product's origin, materials, certifications, and lifecycle events in a standardized format that regulators, buyers, and recyclers can query via QR code or API.

When is the EU Digital Product Passport deadline?

The first mandatory deadline is February 2027 for EV batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh under the EU Battery Regulation. Construction materials follow from 2027 to 2032, and textiles and electronics between 2027 and 2030 under ESPR delegated acts.

How does KALIRA generate Digital Product Passports?

KALIRA builds the passport automatically from the data your team already creates. When you tag an asset, run an inspection, or upload a certificate, each event is recorded as a signed lifecycle entry. The passport assembles itself from that data — no separate system, no duplicate entry.

Does KALIRA support GS1 Digital Link?

Yes. KALIRA generates GS1-compliant GTIN identifiers and embeds them in Digital Link URLs. The QR code on the physical product resolves to the live passport, which exports JSON-LD structured data accepted by EU regulatory systems.

Regulation

Why DPP matters now

The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) requires Digital Product Passports for products sold in the EU market. The regulation is not a proposal — it is live, with hard deadlines by product category.

Sector	Regulation	DPP required by
EV Batteries	EU Battery Regulation	February 2027
Construction materials	CPR 2024/3110	2027–2032
Textiles	ESPR delegated act	2027–2030
Electronics	ESPR delegated act	2027–2030

No passport, no EU market access.

How it works

You do not build passports separately

Tag assets, run inspections, record data. The passport assembles itself from the work your team already does. No extra work. No separate system.

KALIRA Tracked

Tag attached, photo on file. Basic proof of existence and location. Enough to start building your passport history.

KALIRA Inspected

Passed a structured inspection with dated evidence. Each inspection event is a signed lifecycle entry inside the passport.

GTIN Registered EU DPP

GS1 GTIN assigned, material and compliance data included, globally shareable via GS1 Digital Link. Accepted at EU border checks.

Target industries

Who needs a Digital Product Passport

The mandate covers physical goods sold into the EU. If your supply chain touches Europe, you are in scope.

Battery manufacturers

EU Battery Regulation requires a DPP for all EV batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh from February 2027.

Indonesian exporters

Nickel and palm oil supply chains face EU deforestation and due-diligence requirements. A DPP is the verifiable proof buyers now demand.

Construction material producers

CPR 2024/3110 mandates passports for steel, cement, and glass sold in the EU market from 2027 onwards.

Textile and electronics manufacturers

ESPR delegated acts covering textiles and electronics enter force between 2027 and 2030. Early adoption is a competitive advantage.

Standards

Built on open standards

KALIRA does not invent its own format. Every passport uses the published global standards that regulators and trade partners already expect.

GS1 Digital Link

Every passport URL is a standards-compliant GS1 Digital Link resolvable by any scanner.

JSON-LD export

Machine-readable structured data exports follow the W3C JSON-LD 1.1 specification.

QR-verifiable

Any smartphone camera resolves the QR code to the live passport. No app required.

ESPR 2024/1781

Data fields and lifecycle events comply with the ESPR framework regulation.

What your passport includes

Product identity (GTIN, serial, batch)
