Standards will promote the European Digital Product Passport

UNE has recently held the UNE Information Day: Digital Product Passport, on the proposal of a new European Committee on Digital Product Passport (DPP).

During the event the background and details were presented on the proposal of the German standardisation bodies DIN and DKE to create a new CEN and CENELEC joint committee to coordinate and execute the work that will respond to the European Commission's standardisation request. The national interest in this initiative and the options for monitoring and actively participating in the new committee's activity were also evaluated.

The development of an interoperable Digital Product Passport system, a data structure and the resulting ecosystem is a catalyst for the digital and ecological transformation of the industry. This passport is expected to support several important European Commission political objectives.

This meeting was attended by Timothy de la Fuente (Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism), Óscar Nieto (European Commission), Francesco Osimanti (European Commission-StandICT.eu Programme), Johannes Benjamin Helfritz (DIN), Paloma García and José Antonio Jiménez (UNE).​
