Insights & Perspectives

Transpareo signs each field of a product passport on its own, so a disclosed protected field keeps its proof. Its reader need not trust the platform.

The EU register for Digital Product Passports became law on 16 July 2026. What it asks of you, and what we prepare for you.

Six harmonised DPP norms are set in stone. The target has stopped moving, and we already meet it.

Seven steps lead from a Digital Nameplate in the Asset Administration Shell to a product passport. This checklist walks through each of them.

Whoever keeps a digital nameplate for their products already has half a product passport. What is still missing is a printed code, a seal and a public address.

EN 18223 moves the meaning into every value because its dictionary costs money; an open one would need just a link. So it stays an output format for us.

From 2027 the EU battery passport duty reaches into factories in Guangdong. We show why rules from Brussels travel that far, and whom they affect.

We sent six comments on the UN Transparency Protocol, which sets how any tool checks a passport. Two drew a reply, one changed our verifier.

For most companies the first hurdle is product data spread across PDFs, emails and a dozen spreadsheets. Sorting it out is where the opportunity lies.

Trust in a product passport rests on the signed record of the product itself. Transpareo Proofchain keeps it verifiable that way for ten years, longer than a platform usually lasts.

A single product data set is enough for batteries sold in Europe and China. We show how it serves two opposed regimes.

A product passport uses three existing dictionaries so that every reader understands every field. That keeps it readable in ten years too.
