JBCE Signs Joint Statement on the Draft Standardisation Mandate on Digital Product Passport

On 21 February 2024, JBCE, together with nine industry associations, signed a joint statement on the draft standardisation mandate on the Digital Product Passport (DPP).

They signatories recommend that:

• Only the Unique Product Identifier (UPI) is encoded in the data carrier.
• All the other cross-sectoral basic data can be either accessible on pack or through the Product Passport Registry:
  • The information on the DPP owner is present on pack;
  • The facility identifier can be easily traced back from the UPI. Through the Product Passport Registry managed by the Commission (Art. 12 of the ESPR), users can access the unique facility identifier associated with the UPI encoded in the data carrier; and
  • The information on the product group can be easily identified from the packaging, in accordance with the Consumer Rights Directive.
