BSN Digital Product Passport
Driving Your Digital Product Passport Through RFID and QR Codes
What Is the Digital Product Passport (DPP)?
General Product Data
Materials & Sourcing
Sustainability & Footprint
Circularity Data
The DPP is part of the EU Green Deal and enforced through the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
The DPP Mandate is Here. Are You Prepared?
The Power of a Unified DPP Code
- A Single Source of Truth: We create a 1:1 link between a durable RFID tag and a consumer-facing QR code. Both carriers hold the same unique ID, so a scan from a warehouse scanner or a customer's smartphone always points to the same verified DPP record.
- RFID for DPP Supply Chain: Embedded RFID tags enable fast, bulk scanning without a direct line of sight. This is ideal for automating inventory management, streamlining logistics, and performing instant authenticity checks at any point in the supply chain.
- QR Codes for Consumer Engagement: A simple scan of the QR code gives consumers instant access to the rich data in your DPP from sustainability credentials and materials sourcing to repair guides and recycling instructions. Note, consumer telephones will likely be able to scan RFID tags as well.

FAQs
The DPP initiative will impact manufacturers and sellers in key industries first:
• Textiles and garments
Batteries
• Iron, steel, and aluminum
• Furniture and mattresses
• Electronics and white goods
• Tires, paints, lubricants, and detergents
Future phases may include toys, packaging, vehicles, and construction materials.
The rollout is gradual, but key deadlines are approaching fast:
• January 2026: The delegated act for textiles is expected, with compliance likely required by mid-2027.
• April 2026: The delegated act for iron and steel products is anticipated, likely mandating compliance by late 2027.
• February 2027: The Battery Passport regulation takes full effect, requiring DPPs for all EV, industrial, and transport batteries on the EU market.
No. Any company selling into the EU including those based in the US, Asia, or elsewhere will need to comply. As DPP gains traction, similar regulations will likely appear in other regions.
RFID tags provide durable, scannable links to DPP data at every stage of the product lifecycle. Especially useful in logistics and inventory operations, RFID supports:
• Bulk item scanning
• Tamper detection
• Lifecycle traceability
• Secure, encrypted IDs
Don't Let DPP Compliance Become a Roadblock.
