Definition

What is a Digital Product Passport?

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured digital record that accompanies a physical product across its lifecycle, carrying information about its composition, origin, environmental footprint, repair and recycling instructions, and regulatory compliance status. Under the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR, Regulation 2024/1781) and the EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542), DPPs become mandatory for most product categories sold in the EU between 2027 and 2030. The passport is accessed through a data carrier — typically a GS1 Digital Link QR code or NFC tag — printed on or attached to the product.

Every Product Category. One Platform.

12 product categories and growing. From batteries to jewelry, electronics to toys. Same AI engine, category-specific compliance templates.

Works with your ERP — not instead of it

Keep SAP, Odoo, NetSuite, or whatever you use. TracePass plugs in, doesn't replace.

1

CSV bulk import

Per-category CSV templates match every DPP field 1:1. Your ERP exports what it already has; we map the rest. Zero custom integration work to start.

2

REST API

Documented read/write endpoints on every plan including Free; daily call cap applies only to Free and Basic, all paid tiers from Starter up are unlimited. Your integrator writes the mapping once against our API — we don't build bespoke SAP connectors.

3

No migration required

Source of truth stays in your existing systems. TracePass reads snapshots, produces DPPs, publishes passports. Your ERP doesn't need to know we exist.

How It Works

1

Upload Your Data

CSV, Excel, PDF, spec sheets — upload whatever you have. No special format needed.

2

AI Fills, You Review

Our AI extracts data and fills 90+ mandatory fields with confidence scores. You review suggestions, approve or edit. AI-assisted, human-verified.

3

Compliance Validation

Automated validation against ESPR, Battery Regulation 2023/1542, and category-specific requirements. Designed to be audit-ready.

QR Code + Live Passport

Get your Digital Product Passport with GS1 Digital Link QR code. Hosted, multilingual, permanently accessible.

Inside the platform

Upload the documents you already have

Datasheets, certificates, LCA reports — PDF, Excel or images. TracePass reads them and extracts passport fields automatically.

Review the AI's work, then publish

Every field carries an AI confidence score and a link back to its source. Approve, edit or flag each one — then publish the passport with its GS1 Digital Link QR code.

What Makes TracePass Different

Battery Passport Generator

Built for EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542). 91 mandatory fields auto-filled. Carbon footprint, recycled content, supply chain data — all included.

AI Data Extraction & Research

Upload PDFs, spec sheets, certificates — or just a product model. Our AI reads your documents, searches the public web for missing data, and suggests field values with confidence scores. You review and approve. No manual data entry from scratch.

Image OCR

Got a nameplate photo, compliance label, or spec sticker instead of a digital datasheet? Trigger OCR on any saved image and extract the text into editable passport fields. Useful for imports where only the physical product exists.

Learns From Your Reviews

Every field you accept, modify, or reject teaches the platform. Confidence scores adjust over time, manufacturer names are learned once and reused across your team, and the extraction gets faster with every passport you create.

GS1 Digital Link QR Codes

Each passport gets a GS1 Digital Link QR code. Scan it → see the full passport. Designed for the EU DPP registry.

EPCIS 2.0 Supply-Chain Events

Full GS1 EPCIS 2.0 — export, capture and query — included on every paid plan. Suppliers and ERP systems push events to the Capture interface, the query node answers the EPCIS Query interface, and any passport's events serialise as a standards-valid EPCIS 2.0 JSON-LD document. Volume meter scales by tier (1,000 to 10,000,000 events/month, unlimited on Enterprise). The recommended traceability vehicle for ESPR Article 5(5)(o).

AI Assistant Access (MCP)

Connect an AI assistant — Claude, Cursor, an IDE agent — directly to TracePass with our Model Context Protocol server. Manage products, passports, and EPCIS events conversationally. Hosted endpoint or local npm package; uses your existing API key.

n8n Community Node

Automate TracePass in n8n without writing code. Free community node, installable from any n8n instance — wire products, passports, and EPCIS events into workflows alongside Shopify, Slack, Schedule, and the 400+ other n8n integrations.

Plug-and-Play for Importers

You import batteries or products into the EU? Upload your supplier docs, we generate the passport you need for market access. Done.

Full Audit Trail

Every field tracks who entered it, when, and from which source document. Complete change history. Built for regulator inspections and enterprise audits.

Regulatory Monitoring

EU regulations change. We track them daily and update your passports automatically. Stay compliant without effort.

Annual billing is the default — saves 15%. Monthly is available on every plan if you need it. Not-yet-mandatory categories get 40% early-mover discount.

Cancel any time. Published passports stay live for 30 days after cancellation, so QR codes on shipped products keep working while you decide — and your data is exportable via CSV or REST API at any point.

Higher-tier plans (Scale, Pro, Enterprise) have multi-month minimum commitments — 3, 6, and 12 months respectively. Contact us for these tiers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

Your published Digital Product Passports stay accessible via QR code and Digital Link for 30 days after cancellation. During this grace period, QR codes on shipped products keep resolving as normal. After 30 days, passports stop resolving publicly. Reactivating any time before then restores full access automatically. Your data is never deleted — you can export it to CSV from the dashboard or pull it via the REST API (every plan; daily call cap only on Free and Basic, Starter and above unlimited) at any time, and resubscribing restores everything.

What if my payment fails?

You enter a "past due" state. New passport creation, AI extraction, and supplier requests are paused, but published passports stay live so consumers scanning your QR codes aren't affected. You have 14 days to resolve billing — after that, the 30-day passport grace window starts. Any point before the grace window ends, settling the invoice lifts all restrictions automatically.

Can I take my data with me?

Yes. Field data you entered belongs to you. Paid plans include CSV export from the dashboard and programmatic export via the REST API. Cancellation doesn't delete your data — you can re-subscribe later and continue where you left off.

What happens when I downgrade?

Upgrades apply immediately with prorated charges. Downgrades that reduce the passport cap charge an overage fee on the remaining passports at the new plan's per-DPP rate — we warn you before confirming so there's no surprise. Passports never disappear just because you downgraded.

Do I need to give the AI training data?

No. The AI reads your uploaded documents and can also research the public web for missing fields. Every field you approve, modify, or reject then improves confidence scores for your future extractions — and accepted manufacturer names are shared across your own workspace so your team doesn't re-enter them.
