Tyre Digital Product Passport: where EU law stands
Tyres are a priority product group under the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). What is decided, what is not, and what already applies.
No ESPR delegated act for tyres has been adopted as of 26 September 2026.
Where the law stands
A priority under ESPR
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 lists tyres among the product groups the Commission had to prioritise in its first working plan (Article 18(5)(e)). Ecodesign requirements for tyres, including any digital product passport, would be set in a product-specific delegated act.
Working plan 2025 to 2030
The Commission's working plan (COM(2025) 187) gives 2027 as the indicative year for adopting measures for tyres, and notes that tyres are already regulated by other EU law, including the Tyre Labelling Regulation (EU) 2020/740.
No passport date yet
As of 26 September 2026 the Commission has not adopted an ESPR delegated act for tyres, so no passport content or application date is set. Once an ESPR delegated act is adopted, Article 4(4) says it applies no earlier than 18 months after it enters into force, except in duly justified cases.
Tyre passport: common questions
No. As of 26 September 2026 no delegated act under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR) sets ecodesign requirements or a digital product passport for tyres. Tyres are a priority product group under ESPR Article 18(5)(e), and the Commission's working plan for 2025 to 2030 gives 2027 as the indicative year for adopting tyre measures.
No date is set. The date depends on when a tyre delegated act is adopted and what it says. ESPR Article 4(4) requires at least 18 months between a delegated act entering into force and applying, except in duly justified cases.
The Tyre Labelling Regulation (EU) 2020/740 already applies to tyres. The Commission's working plan cites it when noting that tyres are already regulated by other EU law.
