EU Digital Product Passport, without the jargon

The DPP era starts now.

Digital Product Passports become mandatory in the EU category by category: batteries on 18 February 2027, textiles realistically 2028-2029, furniture after that. DPPera gets small and mid-size brands ready - plain-language guides, precise deadlines and a self-serve passport tool. No enterprise budget, no sales calls.

No account, no card. The demo page lives for 7 days, and you can keep it with one click.

Solid line is law. Dashed line is a forecast.

Quick answers

The three questions everyone asks first

Is the DPP mandatory in 2026? +

For almost all products - no. The EU registry is live and the standards are published, but obligations start with batteries in February 2027 and reach most other categories, including textiles, around 2028-2030.

Does it apply to small fashion brands? +

Yes. There is no small-business exemption - the obligation follows the product onto the EU market, regardless of company size or where it is registered.

Is a QR code on my product already a DPP? +

No. A Digital Product Passport is a defined set of structured data with a registered unique identifier - the QR code is only the door that opens it.
