Digital Product Passport field-by-field guides
Free, downloadable PDF guides that map every mandatory data field of a product category's EU Digital Product Passport — with the regulation reference and source-data hint for each field.
Each guide breaks a single product category's Digital Product Passport down to the field level: what data is mandatory, which article of the regulation requires it, and where in your existing systems that data usually lives.
They're the same field maps TracePass uses to generate a passport — published as free PDFs so you can scope the work before committing to any tool.
Across the four categories, TracePass maps 387 mandatory Digital Product Passport fields — every one tied to the article that requires it.

Frequently asked questions
- Are the guides free to download?
- Yes. Every guide is a free PDF — no payment required. We ask for an email so we can send the file and let you know when the underlying regulation changes.
- Where does the field data in the guides come from?
- Each field is taken directly from the EU regulation for that product category (e.g. the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 for batteries) and cross-checked against the active TracePass passport template for that category.
- Which product categories are covered?
- Batteries, textiles, electronics and packaging today, with more added as their delegated acts and field requirements are finalised under the EU's ESPR framework.
- Do I need a Digital Product Passport for my product?
- If you place a product in one of the regulated categories on the EU market, almost certainly yes — the DPP is being phased in category by category. The battery passport is first, mandatory from February 2027; textiles, electronics and others follow under ESPR through 2027–2030. Each guide states the deadline for its category.
- How many fields does my category's passport need?
- It varies by category: the EU battery passport has 94 mandatory fields, textiles 61, electronics 166, and packaging 66. Each guide lists every field and the regulation article that requires it.
