Under ESPR, Digital Product Passports will apply to a wide range of products sold within the European Union.
Legal Scope
Manufacturers, importers, and distributors placing products on the EU market may be required to comply depending on product category.
Product Categories Likely Affected
- Textiles
- Electronics
- Batteries
- Industrial equipment
- Consumer goods
- Luxury goods
Specific requirements will be clarified via delegated legislation.
SMEs vs Large Enterprises
Company size does not automatically exempt businesses from compliance obligations if products are sold within the EU.
Global Sellers
Non-EU companies selling into the EU market must also comply with ESPR requirements.

Businesses should review:
- Product categories
