Response to Digital Product Passport (DPP) service providers

6 Dec 2024

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, In general, the development of a standardized framework for digital product passport service providers is to be welcomed. It seems essential that a standardized EU-wide database is used and that several databases are not created. It is also important to regulate a possible framework for the operating costs / cost framework of the DPP service provider. One possible approach would be to be able to allocate only the operating costs and to establish the DPP service provider as a non-profit organization. In addition, the possible data should be defined to a minimum at this early stage. Not all product data is intended for the public and may contain internal company know-how, which must continue to be protected even after the introduction of the DPP.
