ESPR Readiness Guide

The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) mandates Digital Product Passports for certain product categories starting 2027. Galileo's DPP schema is designed for full ESPR compliance.

ESPR Requirements

Digital Product Passports must include:

Product identification (GTIN, serial number)
Manufacturer information
Material composition
Carbon footprint data
Repair and recycling information
Compliance declarations

Data Carrier Requirements

ESPR requires a data carrier linking physical product to DPP:

QR Code — GS1 Digital Link URL
NFC Tag — Optional for luxury items
RFID — For supply chain tracking

Implementation Checklist

All mandatory fields populated
Data carrier linked to product
Public access endpoint configured
Update mechanism for lifecycle changes
Audit trail for modifications

Timeline

2024 — ESPR adopted
2025 — Delegated acts define product categories
