One evidence layer, multiple decisions
See what applies, what is missing, and what comes next.
DPP Lens keeps legal status separate from interpretation, and declared data separate from verified evidence.

Supplier data readiness
A score should explain itself.
Drill from every score to the evidence, declaration, estimate or missing field behind it. Weighting stays visible and adapts to product category and purpose.
Rule version, evidence date, source and unresolved gaps stay visible.

A practical path to readiness
From product scope to prioritised action in four steps.
Start with what is legally known, then build an evidence plan your product, compliance and supplier teams can share.
01
Identify product and market
Set product category, economic-operator role, target countries and classification where available.
02
Map applicable requirements
Separate binding rules from transitions, consultations, drafts and industry guidance.
03
Check data and evidence
Review completeness, source quality and freshness without turning assumptions into facts.
04
Prioritise action
Turn gaps into supplier requests, internal owners and trackable remediation tasks.
Regulatory radar
Follow the legislation, not the rumours.
Working-plan years indicate intended adoption of measures; they are not automatically compliance deadlines.
Exact obligations depend on product-specific legislation and the role of the economic operator.

ESPR entered into force
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 established the framework for product-specific ecodesign requirements.
2025–30
Priority products move through the work plan
Textiles, furniture, tyres, mattresses, iron, steel and aluminium are among the priority groups.

Battery passports begin for defined categories
The Batteries Regulation sets a passport date for LMT, EV and industrial batteries above 2 kWh.
Product-specific
Delegated acts define the operational detail
Fields, data carrier, granularity, access rights and transition periods vary by product group.
Standards, explained
Start with the primary source. Add interpretation second.
Every brief preserves the canonical text, legal status and review date so teams can distinguish obligation from guidance.

Questions worth asking early
Clarity before implementation.
Is a Digital Product Passport just a QR code?
No. The data carrier is an access point. The passport also depends on persistent product identification, structured information, access rights, interoperability and the evidence behind each claim.
Does a readiness score certify compliance?
No. It is a diagnostic that shows coverage and gaps against a stated legal act or methodology version. It is not legal advice, official certification or a conformity assessment.
How should suppliers be scored?
Use explainable dimensions such as product-data completeness, traceability, primary environmental data, evidence quality, freshness and response history. Weights should be configurable—not hidden or universal.
Are PEFCR and Eco Score the same thing?
No. PEFCRs are product-category rules under the Environmental Footprint method. National or internal scores may build on life-cycle data but must keep their own scope, method and legal status explicit.
