Siemens Digital Product Passport (DPP4.0)

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a standardized digital record that captures a product’s information across its entire lifecycle, from composition and manufacturing to use, reuse, and end-of-life. It creates a single source of truth, enabling companies to access, manage, and share reliable product data across the value chain. Driven by EU regulation, Digital Product Passports will become mandatory step by step, starting with batteries from February 2027 and expanding to additional product categories such as electronics, textiles and more under the Ecodesign framework. Digital Product Passports enable companies to meet these requirements, while improving supply chain transparency and supporting more sustainable and circular business processes.

The Battery Passport
As the first regulated implementation of the Digital Product Passport in 2027, the Battery Passport sets the foundation for how DPPs will be designed and applied across industries. It defines concrete requirements for product data, around 100 data points including material composition, carbon footprint, performance and lifecycle information, all linked to a unique identifier accessible via a data carrier such as a QR code. Beyond compliance, it establishes a new level of transparency and traceability across the battery value chain, involving manufacturers, suppliers, recyclers and authorities. As such, the Battery Passport serves as a blueprint for future Digital Product Passports across other product categories.

Siemens turns Digital Product Passport requirements into a scalable, enterprise-ready solution. The Siemens Digital Product Passport (DPP4.0) platform acts as a central DPP engine that structures and connects product data across systems, partners, and the entire lifecycle. The concept is already proven with concrete implementations such as the Battery Passport and is designed to be directly applied to additional products and industries.

The solution is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing IT landscapes and industrial ecosystems, allowing companies to collect, manage, and share product data across the entire value chain.

To ensure interoperability, scalability, and compliance with emerging regulations, Siemens builds on established industry standards and concepts.
