The EU is introducing a digital record for products, reached through a code on the product. The rules arrive product group by product group. This page says where they stand, and what Tapline's product passport does today and does not do.
Checked October 2026. New acts are adopted over time, so confirm the current position for your category.
See the passport and item codes working in the product passport demo and the item codes demo.
A digital record about a product: what it is made of, where it comes from and how it can be repaired or recycled. Shoppers, repairers and authorities reach it through a data carrier such as a QR code. The EU creates it through the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, and sets the detail product group by product group.
Only if a rule for your product category already requires it. The ESPR itself leaves the detail to separate acts for each product group, and batteries have their own rule from 18 February 2027 for the battery types it names. Check your category with your trade body or adviser; Tapline cannot tell you.
No. It is the brand's own statement about a product, shown behind a confirmation tick. Tapline shows what you enter and does not verify it, and it does not connect to the EU registry.
The statements you confirmed, on the product page and on the page for each unit they scan. Statements you have not confirmed stay hidden.
Every plan has a passport with the core fields: the category's own fields, origin, materials, warranty, care and recycling. The fuller field set and the machine-readable record are on Growth and Scale. Item codes have their own allowances on each plan; see Pricing.
No. It is a plain-language summary, checked in October 2026. Confirm what applies to your products with your own adviser.
Not legal advice. A plain-language summary, checked October 2026. Wine has its own labelling rules; see the EU wine e-label explained.
