ESPR

ESPR is the framework regulation that introduces the Digital Product Passport requirement across the EU. It came into force in 2024 and rolls out category by category through delegated acts — textiles and apparel are first, followed by furniture, electronics, batteries, tyres and more.

ESPR sets the legal shape (what data must be carried, who must publish it, who can read it) but each product category gets its own delegated act with the specific data fields and timelines.

If you sell physical goods into the EU, ESPR is the reason DPPs stop being optional.
