SUMMARY

• CEN-CENELC has published the second package of European standards supporting the implementation of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) in line with the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
• Members can find further information on these standards, as well as those previously published here.

‍

MORE INFORMATION

The two following standards have now been published:

• ‍EN 18239:2026: Digital product passport - Access rights management, information system security, and business confidentiality‍
• EN 18246:2026: Digital product passport - Data authentication, reliability and integrity

These complement the DPP standards already cited in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) (see previous email), namely:

• EN 18216:2026 ‘Digital Product Passport - Data exchange protocols’
• EN 18219:2026 ‘Digital Product Passport - Unique identifiers’
• EN 18220:2026 ‘Digital Product Passport - Data carriers’
• EN 18221:2026 ‘Digital Product Passport - Data storage, archiving, and data persistence’
• EN 18222:2026 ‘Digital Product Passport - Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for the Product Passport lifecycle management and searchability’
• EN 18223:2026 ‘Digital Product Passport - System interoperability’

Members interested in learning more can also access the recording of the webinar introducing the DPP standards and explaining how they can support compliance with DPP requirements.

NEXT STEPS

• The two new standards are expected to be cited in the OJEU in the coming weeks, after which they will provide a presumption of conformity with the corresponding DPP requirements.
• The new DPP standards will soon be available for purchase through CEN and CENELEC National Members, which have six months from the date of publication to implement them at national level.
