PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT · REGULATORY RESPONSE
A transparent record of how DPPora is developing, responding to official EU requirements and preparing for the rollout of Digital Product Passports.
Last updated 16 October 2026Testing-environment enrolment, directory listings and technology providers are recorded as development milestones. They do not mean that DPPora is certified, approved or endorsed by the European Union or any listed organisation.
Newest and future milestones first
The Commission's indicative working plan schedules textiles, tyres and aluminium for 2027, furniture for 2028, and mattresses and ICT products for 2029.
DPPora will maintain versioned category workspaces and will treat requirements as binding only when the relevant product-specific delegated acts are adopted.
The Commission's indicative timeline anticipates delegated acts defining DPP service-provider requirements and eligibility, followed by corresponding Registry functionality.
DPPora will monitor the adopted framework and add authorised Registry submission only when the Commission releases the legal and technical mechanism. No production provider-enrolment route is currently available.
EV batteries, LMT batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh placed on the EU market must have a battery passport.
DPPora is preparing category-specific validation, Registry integration and lifecycle data handling ahead of the legal application date.
DPPora plans to complete its battery-focused compliance release before the first legal application date.
The release gate covers the versioned battery schema, EV, LMT and industrial-over-2-kWh eligibility, evidence, validation, dynamic lifecycle records and Registry-controlled publication.
The Commission currently expects the ESPR delegated act for iron and steel during Q4 2026. The timing remains indicative until adoption.
DPPora maintains the category as a versioned working-plan schema and will update it only against an adopted act.
DPPora will audit QR resolution and other data carriers, identifiers, APIs, data persistence and interoperability against the six cited DPP standards.
Findings will become validation, API, storage and interface updates. Access-control and security components will remain modular pending citation of the remaining two standards.
DPPora will extend localized forms, CSV imports, validation, evidence uploads and APIs across the 71-point battery catalogue. The battery catalogue contains 71 data points. Required fields depend on the battery type; not all 71 are required for every passport.
The programme will enforce mandatory, optional, conditional, deferred and duplicate or not-displayed states, while separating immutable manufacturing data from dynamic lifecycle and condition records.
Look up any GTIN and automatically populate drafts with available GS1 product identity and photos. GS1 source fields remain read-only. Publishing requires a matching GS1 licence approved by DPPora. Submit licence evidence in Company profile. Import limits and passport allowances apply.
DPPora's companion apps for iPhone and Android are now available, extending access to product-passport workspaces on mobile.
DPPora's website, customer portal, guidance and digital passports are available in all 27 supported languages.
CSV and Excel imports with field mapping, plus direct Shopify and Pimcore Datahub connections, are available on every plan, including Free. Import limits and passport publishing allowances apply.
Professional and higher plans can create and update their own products and passport drafts through organisation-scoped API keys. API access is restricted to the key's organisation; draft updates do not publish passports.
The Commission timetable anticipates decisions covering the remaining access-rights, security, authentication and integrity standards.
DPPora keeps access control and authentication modular until the official references are published.
DPPora adopted a versioned catalogue of all 71 battery-passport data points, classifying mandatory, optional, conditional, deferred and duplicate or not-displayed states. The battery catalogue contains 71 data points. Required fields depend on the battery type; not all 71 are required for every passport.
The catalogue distinguishes EV, LMT and industrial batteries above 2 kWh, separates manufacturing and lifecycle data, and records the source provision for every data point.
DPPora established product pages across G2, Capterra, SaaSHub and SourceForge.
These directory pages improve independent discovery and do not represent regulatory approval or endorsement by the platforms.
DPPora connected its translation service to Microsoft Azure to support reliable multilingual passport and portal content.
Translation remains separated from authoritative source data so regulated values and identifiers are never altered.
DPPora added Google and Sign in with Apple as secure alternatives to email authentication.
The new options reduce registration friction while preserving DPPora organisation and account controls.
DPPora enrolled in the Commission's mock Registry environment to follow registration workflows and emerging technical requirements.
This is testing-environment enrolment, not EU certification, endorsement or production Registry enrolment.
DPPora configured its production Supabase project in a European region for database, authentication and file-storage services.
Keeping core application services in Europe supports DPPora’s security, resilience and data-governance architecture. Regional hosting does not by itself constitute certification or complete regulatory compliance.
The guidance classifies 71 data points as mandatory, optional, conditional, deferred, duplicated or not applicable for EV, LMT and industrial batteries above 2 kWh. The battery catalogue contains 71 data points. Required fields depend on the battery type; not all 71 are required for every passport.
DPPora reviewed the new applicability rules and created a versioned battery data-point catalogue.
DPPora launched its web platform for creating, managing and publishing digital product passports.
The platform established product identity, materials, economic-operator, evidence, lifecycle and public QR passport foundations.
The Commission launched the production Registry and a separate testing environment for organisations and passport-registration workflows.
DPPora began testing enrolment and designed its Registry fields to preserve identifiers, status, timestamps and registration evidence.
The Commission cited standards for data exchange, unique identifiers, data carriers, storage, APIs and system interoperability.
DPPora uses these six technical areas as its interoperability baseline while awaiting the remaining security standards.
