The DPP is a data standard, not a QR code platform. But every DPP requires a QR code to deliver it. That's where QRStandard comes in.
Under the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR 2024/1781), most physical products sold in the EU will require a Digital Product Passport — a machine-readable record of the product's sustainability data, accessible via a QR code affixed to the product or its packaging.
The regulation is phased by product category. Batteries are first (February 2027 under a separate regulation). Textiles follow in mid-2027. Electronics, tyres, and furniture from 2028 onwards. Each sector has its own delegated act defining the exact data fields required.
The QR code on the product must remain scannable and resolve to valid data for the product's entire regulated life. That is the problem QRStandard solves.
Your product is labelled at the factory. The QR code is printed and cannot be changed. But your DPP platform URL will change — as you switch providers, migrate registries, or update your infrastructure over the product's 10+ year life.
QRStandard embeds a permanent short redirect URL in your QR code. You manage where it points from a dashboard. The physical label never needs to be reprinted.
QRRegistry.eu is our dedicated DPP platform — built to manage sustainability data, connect to the EU registry, and stay compliant as regulations evolve.
