The EU registry is online — Passenta is prepared. The EU's central DPP registry is up and running. Passenta makes your passports registration-ready: UPI as GS1 Digital Link, submission-file export and registration tracking in your account — batteries lead the way from February 2027.
- February 2027
Batteries lead the way
The battery passport becomes the first mandatory product passport — the EU's central registry has been live since July 2026.
- from 2027 (expected)
Steel, textiles, tyres, aluminium
The delegated acts for the first major industries will be published. From then on, the 18-month transition period starts for each.
- 2028–2029
Furniture, mattresses & more
Industry by industry follows. Sounds like plenty of time — it isn't: collecting supply chain data from several countries takes months.
- by 2030+
Nearly all products
Step by step, the ESPR will cover almost all physical products on the EU market — including those from manufacturers outside the EU.
Our recommendation: Start collecting data before your industry's delegated act arrives. Your supply chain won't change because of it — but you'll be done when others are just starting.
