DPP Compliance Checklist

How to use this checklist

Work through each section with the team that owns the underlying system. The goal isn't a yes/no scorecard — it's a clear list of gaps to close before your product category's DPP deadline.

1. Product identification

• Every in-scope SKU has a unique product identifier compliant with ISO/IEC 15459.
• Identifiers are encoded in a GS1 Digital Link URI.
• The data carrier (QR, data matrix, NFC) is present on the product or its label, not only the carton.
• The carrier is readable with a standard smartphone camera, with no app required.

2. Data attributes

• Required attributes for your product category are mapped to systems of record.
• Each attribute has a named data owner and update cadence.
• Substances of concern are flagged in line with SCIP / REACH.
• Sourcing and production-stage data is collected from suppliers under contract.

3. Hosting and resolution

• DPP data is hosted by a provider with documented uptime and retention guarantees.
• The resolver returns appropriate content per audience (consumer, repairer, recycler, authority).
• Resolver URLs are stable and survive provider changes.
• The product is registered in the EU Product Passport Registry once the registry is live.

4. Consumer experience

• The scanned experience is mobile-first and works in low-bandwidth conditions.
• Language fallback is handled per market.
• The experience meets WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility requirements.

5. Governance

• A named executive owns DPP compliance across the business.
• Change-control covers all DPP-bearing data attributes.
• Audit logs are retained for the legally required period.
