1781digital product passports
Every product's documentation, in one place.
Describe the product, attach the documents you hold, and work down a checklist of what still has to be put in order. One pass per product, and one list of what is missing.
Free while in early access. No card required.
“We think we have most of it. It’s in a datasheet somewhere, a declaration from a supplier, an ERP field nobody maintains, and Anders’s inbox. We don’t know what’s missing until someone asks.”
Europe is turning product documentation into a legal data problem — batteries first, construction next, and most of the rest behind them. The wall every affected company hits is not storage. It is not knowing what is missing.
How it works
One pass per product. Three screens.
01
Start a pass
Say what the product is, in your own words, and attach the documents you already hold. Nothing else is asked, because nothing else is needed to begin.
02
Work the checklist
Each pass carries a list of what still has to be in order. Two lines answer themselves — whether the pass has a description, and whether it has files. The rest are yours to record.
03
See where you stand
One list of every product pass you hold, each showing its documents and how much of its checklist is done. The gaps are visible before anyone asks about them.
The checklist
What has to be in order, on every pass.
The same list every time, so a gap on one product looks like a gap on another. Two lines answer themselves from the pass and cannot be ticked by hand — the honest answer is already in the record. The rest are judgements you make and record.
It is a working list for preparing a pass, not an assessment that the pass is complete.
The product is described
What the product is, in enough detail that someone else could recognise it. · answered by the pass itself
At least one document is attached
A datasheet, declaration, certificate or test report — whatever you hold. · answered by the pass itself
Product identifiers are recorded
Model or article number, and a GTIN if the product carries one.
Manufacturer and contact details are stated
The legal entity placing the product on the market, and how to reach it.
Material composition is documented
What the product is made of, including any substance of concern.
Conformity documentation is attached
Declarations of performance or conformity, and the certificates behind them.
Care, repair and end-of-life information is covered
How the product is maintained, repaired, and what happens to it afterwards.
Every attached document is current
Nothing attached has lapsed or been superseded by a newer revision.
What it does not do
The useful part is what it refuses to say.
It does not issue Digital Product Passports, and registers, publishes or transmits nothing.
It makes no legal compliance determination and issues no certification.
It does not read your documents, guess at their contents, or fill anything in for you.
A ticked checklist means a person said those things were in order. It does not mean they are.
Start with one product.
Make a pass for the product whose documentation worries you most, and see what the checklist says.
