What is a Digital Product Passport?

From Product Data to Every Scan in Four Steps

As required by evolving EU regulations, a Digital Product Passport (DPP) links every physical product to a structured digital record of its compliance, sustainability, and lifecycle data.

1
Product Data

Gather all relevant product data in one space.

Every Digital Product Passport starts as a central profile where all required information for a product comes together: material composition, supply chain origin, environmental indicators, conformity declarations, user manuals, and care or repair instructions.

With itemactive, you structure product records using templates, sync existing attributes from your ERP or PIM, and define shared data once at the model level so batches and individual units inherit it automatically.

2
Unique Identifier

Assign a unique link to every model, batch, or item.

To make the passport accessible from anywhere, each record receives a unique, persistent web address (such as a GS1 Digital Link). Depending on your product category, this identifier can point to an entire product model, a production batch, or a single serialized unit.

itemactive generates your standards-compliant links automatically.

3
Data Carrier

Attach the link to the physical product.

Next, the unique web link is encoded into a physical data carrier, typically a QR code, a DataMatrix code, or an NFC tag. The carrier is placed directly on the product, its care label, a machine nameplate, or the packaging so the link stays with the product throughout its lifecycle.

From itemactive, you can export print-ready vector QR codes in bulk or fetch them automatically via API to integrate straight into your existing packaging, labeling, or laser-marking workflows.

Scan Passport

Scan the product to open the passport on any smartphone.

Customers, service technicians, and authorities simply scan the carrier on the product with a smartphone camera or NFC tap. The Digital Product Passport opens immediately in the mobile browser, with no app download required.

Every scan loads fast on your own domain, detects the user's language automatically, and displays the exact view and services configured for their role.

Compliance, Without Oversharing

Not all product data is meant for the public. While consumers need care instructions and sustainability facts, repair partners and market surveillance authorities require technical documentation or compliance files that should remain protected.

itemactive lets you set granular visibility rules per field: customers see public product info, authorized partners or authorities unlock restricted tiers, and internal records stay private to your team.

Independence

A Platform Without Lock-In

A code on a product stays there for years and can rarely be swapped out. If its link points to a provider's address, every scan shows their name instead of yours, and you depend on them.

With itemactive, you stay in control of your passports: on your own domain and with your own brand identity. We build on open standards, so you can switch providers without reprinting a single label. We are confident you will want to stay with us anyway.
