UNDERSTANDING THE DPP
What is a Digital Product Passport?
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record that connects a product with relevant information about its materials, performance and lifecycle. It supports access to product information for businesses, customers and other actors in the value chain. The required content depends on the rules applying to the product.
CEB supports the preparation behind that record: clarifying the scope, mapping available data and identifying what your team still needs to collect. We help make information easier to trace and review before it is handed over for technical implementation.

A clearer picture of every product.
Product information often sits across teams, supplier emails and separate files. We help organise those sources around a defined product scope, so your team can see what is available and what needs attention.
Traceable information starts with knowing the products and suppliers behind it.
01
Product scope & applicability
Identify the product families, intended markets and relevant DPP framework. We help separate confirmed obligations from requirements that still need clarification.
02
Data & supporting records
Map available product specifications, material information and supporting documents. Connect each data point to its source and flag missing or inconsistent records.
03
Supplier information
Structure requests for the information your suppliers need to provide. Keep responses, outstanding questions and follow-up responsibilities visible to your team.
04
Ownership & preparation
Clarify who checks, approves and maintains the information. Prepare an organised handover for the technical solution, with unresolved questions clearly recorded.
HOW CEB SUPPORTS YOU
From scattered data to a practical plan.
We begin with your products and the information you already hold. The consultancy scope is agreed around your priorities, the applicable requirements and the gaps your team needs to resolve.
01
Understand
Review your product range, supply chain and current records. Agree the scope and identify the questions that need an early answer.
02
Map
Connect information needs with available sources. Identify gaps, responsible teams and the suppliers whose input is needed.
03
Prepare
Organise records and support targeted information requests. Build a working data structure that your team can review and maintain.
04
Review
Review the prepared information, record open points and agree next steps for maintenance and technical implementation.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Your questions, answered.
Before you begin, it helps to understand what a DPP involves, how product-specific requirements apply and where consultancy fits into the preparation.
A DPP is a product-information record, rather than a standalone certification. It does not replace the conformity assessments or other obligations that apply to your product. CEB’s role on this service is consultancy and preparation of the supporting information.
There is no single DPP deadline for all products. Under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, requirements are introduced through product-specific rules. Other legislation may also apply. The relevant product category and applicable dates need to be checked before planning implementation.
Begin with your product identifiers, specifications, material information, supplier records and supporting documentation. These provide a useful starting point for a data inventory. The final set of mandatory DPP information must be determined from the rules applying to your product.
This service focuses on consultancy, data organisation and preparation. Software selection, hosting, system integration and technical deployment need to be defined separately. We agree the handover requirements with your team so that preparation supports the chosen implementation approach.
Yes. You can map existing records, identify information owners and improve supplier follow-up while monitoring the relevant rules. We distinguish preparation work from confirmed legal requirements, so your plan can be reviewed as product-specific obligations become clearer.
Share a description of your products, intended markets and your role in the supply chain. Bring examples of the product data and supplier records you already hold, plus any customer requests or implementation plans. We can then agree a realistic starting point and consultancy scope.
