Frequently asked questions
Is a Digital Product Passport required for electronics?
No passport data is legally required yet for electronics. ESPR (EU) 2024/1781 is a framework — it mandates no product data until a delegated act is adopted. No product-group act for electronics is scheduled. Two horizontal ESPR acts (repairability, and recycled content and recyclability of electrical and electronic equipment) may reach electronics; no date has been set.
What does 'required by other laws' mean for electronics?
The checker shows the data points other EU laws already require, and where: the RoHS and CE marking information, the EU declaration of conformity (RoHS and EMC Directives), the energy label and EPREL registration for product groups with an energy-labelling act (Regulation (EU) 2017/1369), the information REACH Art. 33 requires when a product contains a Candidate List substance above 0.1%, and the trader and product information in an online offer (General Product Safety Regulation, Art. 19). None of these laws requires a passport; the checker shows whether yours carries the data too.
What data would an electronics passport need to carry?
The TracePass electronics template captures the fields anticipated under ESPR for electronics products. The checker shows them as 'Not required yet' so you can prepare — you are not in breach if they are absent today.
