DPP for electronics: staggered rollout from 2026 Learn more

Digital Product Passport for Electronics & Appliances

Electronics and appliances enter the DPP in stages: via the energy-label carryover and horizontal repairability requirements of the ESPR. With SolveDPP you build a data model that grows with each individual product group.

Electronics enter the product passport in stages

For electronics and appliances, the DPP does not arise all at once but in stages: via the energy-label carryover – dishwashers from 2026, refrigeration appliances and EV chargers from 2028, smartphones and tablets from 2030 – plus horizontal repairability requirements of the ESPR from 2027. The topic is broader and fuzzier than a single niche, but that is precisely why a platform that maps all product groups is worthwhile.

What is a Digital Product Passport (DPP) for electronics?

The DPP for electronics and appliances bundles energy efficiency, repairability, spare-part and software availability, materials and recycling information in one place – machine-readable and available directly on the device via QR code.

Energy efficiency & label

Maintain energy efficiency classes and label data per product group centrally – from the dishwasher to the smartphone.

Repairability & spare parts

Document repairability scores, spare-part and software-update availability – core to the ESPR requirements from 2027.

Staggered deadlines under control

Dishwashers 2026, refrigeration appliances and EV chargers 2028, smartphones and tablets 2030 – SolveDPP keeps an eye on every deadline per device group.

Materials & recycling

Provide critical raw materials, material shares and recycling notes in a structured and auditable way.

QR code on the device

Every device gets a public DPP page with a QR code – for packaging, nameplate and product page.

One model for many groups

Instead of isolated solutions, one unified, versioned data model that grows with each new product group.

So sieht ein Digitaler Produktpass aus

This example shows the public DPP page of an electrical device, as end customers and authorities see it via QR code – every element meets a specific ESPR requirement.

Publicly accessible

Every item gets its own DPP URL – reachable without an app and without a login.

Material composition

Materials, battery and electronics broken down ESPR-compliantly.

Certificates & proof

CE, RoHS and energy label as verifiable proof directly on the product.

A compliant product passport in three steps

From data capture to the QR code on the product: SolveDPP guides your team through the DPP process in a structured way – without spreadsheet chaos and without an in-house IT project.

  1. 1

    Capture data

    Capture product, material and supply-chain data per item – manually, via CSV or Shopify import. AI auto-complete pre-fills recurring fields.

  2. 2

    Validate

    Field validation checks the mandatory data of the respective regulation and flags gaps – before the product passport is published. All changes remain versioned.

  3. 3

    Publish

    Each item gets a public DPP page with a QR code. End customers, retailers and authorities see the evidence directly on the product.

Frequently asked questions about the DPP for electronics & appliances

When does the DPP for electronics apply?

The rollout is staggered: via the energy-label carryover it applies, among others, to dishwashers from 2026, to refrigeration appliances and EV chargers from 2028 and to smartphones and tablets from 2030. In addition, there are horizontal ESPR repairability requirements from 2027.

Does the electronics DPP come only via the ESPR?

No. It arises via a combination of the energy-label carryover and the ESPR. That is why the topic is broader – a platform that maps several product groups is particularly useful here.

How does a platform help with so many deadlines?

SolveDPP maps the different requirements per product group in a unified data model, validates mandatory fields and publishes a DPP page with a QR code per device – so all deadlines stay manageable.
