# ESPR delegated acts — per-category coverage

> Category coverage of expected ESPR delegated acts: jewellery, chemicals, furniture, tyres, electronics — companion regulations, dates, field counts, status.

ESPR delegated acts are still being drafted for most product categories. This is what TracePass models today, per category — anchored against companion regulations where they exist (REACH, CLP, Tyre Labelling, Ecodesign, EPREL), and explicitly speculative where no draft is yet published.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for sustainable products (ESPR)

## ESPR delegated acts — common questions

### What is the timeline for the ESPR delegated acts?

The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR — Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) entered into force in 2024, but it sets no Digital Product Passport requirements by itself. Each product category gets its own delegated act, adopted on the schedule in the Commission's ESPR working plan. The first working plan (2025–2030) prioritises textiles, iron & steel, furniture, tyres, and a set of others; most category delegated acts are still in preparation, so concrete DPP obligations arrive category by category rather than all at once.

### What does the first ESPR working plan cover?

The Commission's first ESPR working plan sets the order in which product groups are tackled. Iron & steel and textiles are early priorities (steel delegated act expected around Q4 2026, mandatory DPP from 2028), followed by furniture, tyres, aluminium, and others through 2028–2030. The working plan is a sequencing document — it tells you when a category's delegated act is expected, not the final field list, which the delegated act itself defines.

### When do ESPR delegated acts make a Digital Product Passport mandatory?

It depends entirely on the category. The battery passport is mandatory from 18 February 2027 under the EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542), not ESPR. Under ESPR, iron & steel is expected to require a DPP from 2028; textiles, aluminium and tyres follow through 2029; toys around 2030. Each date is fixed by that category's delegated act, so the only safe answer is per-category — which is exactly what the matrix above tracks.

### Is there a confirmed date for the steel DPP?

The iron & steel delegated act under ESPR is expected around Q4 2026, with the Digital Product Passport becoming mandatory from 2028. Steel also overlaps CBAM reporting, so the data substrate is partly already being collected. Treat the 2028 date as the current best estimate from the ESPR working plan until the delegated act is formally adopted.
