This project provides passport issuance, hosting, resolution and registry-integration tooling for the EU Digital Product Passport, built on published EU data models and the Commission's registry specification. It is a developer tool, not an official EU service.
It is not, and does not provide
- Legal advice. Nothing produced by this service constitutes legal advice, compliance certification, or a guarantee of regulatory compliance.
- The official EU DPP Registry. This service is a client of the Commission's DPP Registry (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1778). It submits registration data on behalf of operators; it does not replace or stand in for the official registry.
- A data-accuracy guarantee. The API validates the structure and completeness of passport attributes against published data models. The accuracy and completeness of the underlying values — including supplier-sourced data — remain the sole responsibility of the economic operator placing the product on the EU market.
- An eIDAS identity check. The EU registry requires an entity to become a verified economic operator before it can register passports. That enrolment happens with the Commission, not here.
Three points that matter
- Test registrations carry no legal effect. Every registration made without an
explicit production configuration goes to the test environment and is labelled
testin the response. Never mistake a test registration for a production one. - Access tiers are enforced on structure, not on entitlement. The API filters
attributes to the tier your credential grants —
public,legitimate-interest, orcompetent-authority— with untiered attributes treated as most restrictive by default. Deciding who legitimately qualifies for a tier is the operator's responsibility. - Scope is the battery passport. v1 covers EV, LMT and industrial batteries (>2 kWh) under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 Annex XIII. Delegated acts for other ESPR categories — textiles, electronics, furniture — are still being published; those categories will be added as new versioned data models once their acts finalise.
Operator responsibility
Final responsibility for the correctness and completeness of a Digital Product Passport, and for fulfilling all registration and disclosure obligations under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR) and any applicable implementing or delegated acts, rests with the economic operator. Economic operators may also have obligations regarding establishment within the EU; this service does not determine or validate those — consult qualified legal counsel.
