ESPR & EU DPP delegated acts — dated status tracker

Art. 77(1) mandates the battery passport from 18 February 2027 for LMT, industrial batteries >2 kWh, and EV batteries. This is a Battery Regulation obligation, not ESPR — ESPR's own Art. 77 amends a different directive and is unrelated. Scope is battery-category-specific (not every portable battery).

The Detergents Regulation (EU) 2026/405 is adopted law: it mandates a product passport with a QR data carrier and a central-registry entry from 23 September 2029. This is a standalone obligation under the Detergents Regulation, not conditional on an ESPR delegated act.

The Toy Safety Regulation replaces Directive 2009/48/EC; Art. 19 mandates the toy DPP from 1 August 2030 when the Regulation applies. Notified-body articles (28–44, 49–55) apply from 1 January 2026. The passport replaces the EU Declaration of Conformity under the Directive — this is a standalone obligation, not an ESPR delegated act.

ESPR is a framework regulation: it mandates no Digital Product Passport field itself. Every product-group obligation flows through a delegated act adopted under Art. 4 of ESPR. As of this check date, no such delegated act has been adopted for any product group under ESPR (iron & steel and textiles are in preparation — see those rows).

Establishes the technical and operational rules for the EU DPP registry under ESPR Art. 13(5). The registry is operational (opened July 2026) but registration is enrol-only: no battery or other passport can complete a verified central registration yet because the back-up-copy delegated act (Art. 10(4)) is not adopted.

Cites six harmonised EN standards in support of ESPR (unique identifier, interoperability, data carrier, API, data exchange, data storage). These are ESPR-only — zero harmonised standards are cited under the Battery Regulation (2023/1542) as of this date. Two further standards (EN 18239 access rights, EN 18246 integrity) were published on 30 September 2026 but are not yet cited in the Official Journal.

Have Your Say initiative 17672 — the public consultation ran 20 May–12 August 2026. Q4 2026 is the Commission's planned adoption quarter per initiative 17672 and the ESPR Working Plan COM(2025) 187 — indicative until the act is published in the OJ. The ~2028 DPP-obligation estimate is from the Commission's DPP roadmap (DG GROW, May 2026), consistent with ESPR Art. 4's ≥18-month transition; the delegated act will fix the mandatory date.

Have Your Say initiative 16116 — still at the planning stage (announced 18 December 2025). Q1 2027 is the Commission's planned adoption quarter — indicative until adopted in the OJ. The ~2029 DPP-obligation estimate is from the Commission's DPP roadmap (DG GROW, May 2026), consistent with ESPR Art. 4's ≥18-month transition; the delegated act will fix the date.

No ESPR delegated act initiative for aluminium on Have Your Say yet. Working plan (COM(2025) 187): indicative adoption 2027; no passport date set. Obligation estimate (~2029) from the Commission's DPP roadmap (DG GROW, May 2026), indicative per ESPR Art. 4; the delegated act will fix the date.

No ESPR delegated act initiative for tyres on Have Your Say yet. Working plan (COM(2025) 187): indicative adoption 2027; no passport date set. Obligation estimate (~2029) from the Commission's DPP roadmap (DG GROW, May 2026), indicative per ESPR Art. 4; the delegated act will fix the date.

No ESPR delegated act initiative for furniture on Have Your Say yet. Working plan (COM(2025) 187): indicative adoption 2028; no passport date set. Obligation estimate (~2030) from the Commission's DPP roadmap (DG GROW, May 2026), indicative per ESPR Art. 4; the delegated act will fix the date.

No ESPR delegated act initiative for mattresses on Have Your Say yet. Working plan (COM(2025) 187): indicative adoption 2029; no passport date set. Obligation estimate (~2030–2031) from the Commission's DPP roadmap (DG GROW, May 2026), indicative per ESPR Art. 4; the delegated act will fix the date.

No specific ESPR delegated act initiative for ICT products on Have Your Say (a repairability initiative, 17873, is on the portal but is not the product-group DPP act). ICT products are not a discrete product-group row in the working plan; they are covered by the horizontal 'recycled content and recyclability of electrical and electronic equipment' measure (COM(2025) 187), indicative adoption ~2029. No product-group DPP act adopted; no passport date set.

CPR (EU) 2024/3110 is adopted and in force; Chapter X (Arts. 75–79) creates a DPP legal framework for construction products. However, the passport obligation on manufacturers (Art. 22(7)) does not take effect until 18 months after the Art. 75(1) delegated act specifying which products carry a DPP. That delegated act has not been adopted and has no initiative on Have Your Say. Stage here reflects the passport duty, not the regulation itself.

PPWR mandates marking, labelling and a QR data carrier (Art. 12) for reusable packaging — the QR requirement is not universal; it applies only to reusable packaging, not all packaging. No Digital Product Passport obligation flows from PPWR itself; the word 'passport' appears in PPWR only as a cross-reference to the ESPR passport framework.

Paints & coatings fall under substance law (VOC Directive 2004/42/EC and REACH). No delegated act under ESPR has been adopted, drafted, or initiated for this product group. There is no passport duty.
