The SMART Digital Product Pass with ECHO PRM
Maximum benefit today, legal compliance in the future!
ECHO PRM is already working intensively on the requirements and developments relating to the Digital Product Pass of the EU Ecodesign Regulation, which will become mandatory for most products between 2027-2030.
Currently, however, the focus is on the concrete and acute added value for manufacturers and end users of products.
This is why we at ECHO PRM call it the
Smart Product Passport!
Today, we are focusing on the extremely positive possibilities around direct end customer communication: service requests, digital instructions, technician reports, digital nameplates, feedback, and much more.
And all this is serial number-specific!
The Digital Product Pass (DPP)
The Digital Product Pass from the EU Ecodesign Regulation
- The QR code (or NFC label) on the product should provide information about the manufacturer, the materials and repair and disposal options
- The DPP will contain both product master data and life cycle data
- The DPP must be created by the distributors of a product, but can be implemented by so-called “DPP-as-Service Providers” (such as ECHO PRM)
- Target group: various market participants, such as processing companies, authorities, recyclers and, of course, end users in particular.
- Objective: To close information gaps that currently prevent a circular economy

Interesting facts about the legal situation of the Digital Product Passport
An overview of the obligation – what comes when?
- The EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) has been in force since June 2024, but is designed as a kind of framework regulation that initially has no direct impact.
- It will be filled with life via so-called delegated acts of the EU Commission for the various product groups - these delegated acts will be available for the first products around 2026.
- In April 2025, the first product groups to be regulated will be named.
- The result of the standardization of the technology behind the DPP is expected at the end of 2025/beginning of 2026, but there is much to be said for the so-called administration shell (AAS) as the standard.
Conclusion: The digital product passport in accordance with the EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) is not yet fully defined. Nevertheless, it is worth establishing a basis with the Smart Product Passport at an early stage, understanding the processes and, above all, benefiting from the current functionalities and possibilities with ECHO PRM.
