Digital Product Passport
The EU’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) Registry became operational on 20 July 2026, together with a testing environment and user guidance for economic operators. The DPP is designed to make product information more accessible and structured across supply chains, while supporting transparency, compliance and circularity.
Importantly, this does not mean every product sold in the EU needs a DPP today. The rollout is progressive and depends on product-specific EU rules. The Commission’s current timeline shows that certain batteries are the first major category, with mandatory battery passports from 18 February 2027.
Other product groups will follow progressively. Under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, iron and steel and textile apparel are among the priority groups being developed for future DPP requirements.
For Jordanian exporters and manufacturers selling into the EU, now is a good time to start checking which products may fall within scope, what product information and identifiers may be required, and how data will need to be shared with EU importers and value-chain partners.
EuroCham Insight: The DPP is not one single deadline for every product — it is a progressive shift toward more structured, traceable and digital product information in the EU market.
