The challenge

The Digital Product Passport is more than a label.
It is a new single source of truth for product data.

From 2026/27 onward, materials and goods sold in the EU, like steel, chemicals, batteries, and various construction items, must carry a Digital Product Passport (DPP). The passport must be discoverable, trustworthy, and usable by many parties, such as customers, regulators, suppliers, repairers, and recyclers.

What makes this difficult:

  • A QR code alone is not enough. The data must be standardized and interoperable across companies.

  • Different stakeholders need different data on the same product.

  • Product data is stored and processed in many systems and keeps changing over time.

  • Regulations are clear on the goal, but key details are still evolving.


The risk:
Treating DPP as a one-off IT task leads to fragile pilots and expensive rework.
Are your goods and products affected by the upcoming regulations?

The solution

GS1 provides a common language.
Adnovum makes it work in the real world.

We combine GS1 standards with the strengths of Adnovum in the areas of security, identities, data platforms, and AI.

How everything comes together:

  • GS1 foundations
    GS1 identifiers and Digital Link provide a globally accepted approach to identifying products and accessing their passports. Shared vocabularies ensure everyone is on the same page.

  • Trust and access control
    The design by Adnovum determines who can see what, so consumers, partners, and authorities each get the information they require.

  • Secure data sharing
    We enable a controlled data exchange across supply chains, even when no single company owns all the data.

  • Automation with AI
    Enterprise AI reduces manual effort by safely and transparently extracting, checking, and answering questions about DPP data.

The benefits

Compliance that supports your business rather than slowing it down.

Standards-based and future-proof 
GS1 identifiers, Digital Link, and shared vocabularies create a strong and enduring foundation. This helps you avoid pitfalls, dead ends, and vendor lock-in, while your DPP setup stays compatible with evolving regulations and ecosystems.

Lower operational effort, not just on day one 
Automation and structured data reduce ongoing manual work for data collection, validation, updates, and reporting. This matters because the DPP is not a one-time formality, but a living asset that requires continuous attention.

Trust built in by design 
Role-based access, security, and auditability ensure that sensitive data is protected while still being usable by partners and authorities. This builds confidence among both internal and external stakeholders.

Scaling across products and partners 
Start with one product line, then reuse the same foundation across product categories, markets, and supply chain partners without redesigning everything.

Turning compliance into insight 
Once DPP data is structured and governed, it can also support transparency, sustainability reporting, and better decisions across the product lifecycle.

How we partner with you

With a pragmatic mindset, step by step, on a clear path to scale.

Readiness check

We clarify which products are affected, what data already exists, where the gaps are, and how GS1 standards, access control, and governance fit together in your context.

Focused pilot

We implement one complete DPP flow for a selected product line, from identifier and access to data views and controls. This keeps the risks low and makes progress visible early.

Scale with confidence

The same architecture is extended to additional products, suppliers, and use cases. Standards and shared semantics make expansion predictable instead of complex.
