Digital Product Passport software for PPE, fashion and toy brands: Prove every product, from source to recycle.

A digital product passport (DPP) is a digital record for a product, opened by scanning a QR code, NFC tag or RFID tag on the product. It shares information such as materials, origin, certifications, environmental impact, repair and recycling, with different parts visible to shoppers, business partners and authorities.

Category by category. Battery passports apply from 18 February 2027 under the Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, detergent passports from 23 September 2029 under Regulation (EU) 2026/405, and toy passports from 1 August 2030 under the Toy Safety Regulation (EU) 2025/2509. Under ESPR, the 2025–2030 working plan prioritises iron and steel (2026), textiles and tyres (2027), aluminium (2027), furniture (2028) and mattresses (2029). These are indicative adoption years; rules apply at least 18 months after each act.

Not yet. The EU textiles delegated act under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 is planned for adoption in 2027, and its passport rules apply at least 18 months after it takes effect. Supplier evidence takes months to gather, so brands that start now avoid a rush.

Yes. From 1 August 2030, the Toy Safety Regulation (EU) 2025/2509 requires a digital product passport for every toy, replacing the EU declaration of conformity. It holds the toy’s unique identifier, the manufacturer’s details, the EU laws the toy complies with and a reference to the service provider holding a back-up copy.

Not yet as a dedicated requirement: PPE is not on the first ESPR working plan (2025–2030). Many PPE brands already use a passport to share certificates, such as EN 388 test results and CE or UKCA declarations, with buyers and distributors.

No. The QR code, NFC tag or RFID tag is only the data carrier. The passport is the structured, verified product data behind it, with access rights for each audience, kept up to date for the product’s lifetime.

Yes. Open our live example passport for an industrial impact glove, built on Seamless Source, to see the overview, compliance, supply chain and usage tabs.

Material composition, a supply chain map with the country and city of each step, component-level traceability, factory certifications such as GOTS, OEKO-TEX, Sedex and ISO, carbon, water and energy figures, care instructions, and repair, resale and recycling routes. Exact fields follow the rules that apply to each product.

You choose per field. Shoppers see a public view, business partners such as retailers and recyclers see more, and authorities can see the full evidence. Commercially sensitive supplier details stay out of the public view.

Seamless Source DPP is built to the EU ESPR technical specification, GS1 Digital Link for product identifiers and the UN Transparency Protocol (UNTP) for data exchange.

QR codes printed on care labels or swing tags, NFC tags sewn in or heat-sealed for premium products, and RFID tags stitched in for bulk scanning in warehouses and rental. We agree the right carrier and placement with your design and technical teams.

A central Commission registry that went live on 20 July 2026. It records passport identifiers and key metadata; the passport data itself stays with the brand and is reached through the data carrier on the product.

Under ESPR Articles 10 and 11, a passport must link the data carrier to a persistent unique product identifier, use open and interoperable data without vendor lock-in, give each stakeholder group the right access, keep a back-up copy with an independent DPP service provider, stay available after an insolvency, and have its identifiers registered in the EU registry.

Six EN standards, EN 18216, EN 18219, EN 18220, EN 18221, EN 18222 and EN 18223, were cited in the Official Journal on 15 July 2026. They cover identifiers, data carriers, storage, interoperability, data exchange and the passport API, and give a presumption of conformity with ESPR Articles 10 and 11.

No. The European Commission has said ESPR is technology-neutral: no specific technology is favoured or excluded. What matters is that the passport meets the ESPR rules and the delegated act for your product.

Not yet. ESPR lets the Commission set requirements and a possible certification scheme for DPP service providers, which it plans for 2027. Until then, ask any provider which standards it follows and how it meets ESPR Articles 10 and 11.

Yes. Packaging data for the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sits on the same product record as your passport, so it is entered once and reused.

No. A passport presents verified information. The company placing the product on the market stays responsible for the accuracy of that information and for meeting each product rule. Seamless Source helps you hold the evidence and publish it correctly.

4 to 8 weeks for most teams. We map your products, migrate supplier, material and certificate data, and set up your passports with you.

If your passports are not live within the timeline agreed at kickoff, you get 100% of the implementation fee back, provided supplier and product data arrive on schedule. See the guarantee terms.

No. Seamless Source DPP works alongside your existing systems. Many teams use it for the supplier evidence, certificates and passport publishing their current tools were not built for.

No. Start with Digital Product Passports and add modules when you are ready. All modules share one record per product, so nothing is migrated twice. There is no lock-in.
