EU Digital Product Passport Deadlines: Battery Passport and ESPR Tracker
Battery passports are mandatory from 18 February 2027. For textiles, tyres and electronics, no ESPR delegated act had been adopted as of 26 September 2026, so no binding date exists yet.
EU Central DPP Registry
ESPR 2024/1781, Article 13
The Commission had to set up the digital product passport registry by 19 July 2026 (ESPR Article 13(1)); Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1778 lays down how it works. The economic operator placing a product on the market uploads its unique identifiers to the registry (Article 13(4)). As of 26 September 2026 the registry does not yet accept battery registrations.
The Commission announced on 20 July 2026 that the Registry is live, one day after the 19 July 2026 set-up deadline in Article 13(1) of the ESPR.

ESPR 2024/1781, horizontal measures for electrical and electronic equipment (not yet adopted)
The ESPR working plan (COM(2025) 187) has no product-specific delegated act for electronics. It covers them through horizontal measures on repairability (indicative adoption 2027) and on recycled content and recyclability of electrical and electronic equipment (indicative adoption 2029). No delegated act had been adopted as of 26 September 2026, and no binding compliance date exists yet.
Electronics regulatory guide →Compliance is cheaper than the alternative
Under ESPR Article 74, penalties for infringements must be "effective, proportionate and dissuasive"; for batteries, Article 93 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 sets the same standard. Non-compliant products cannot legally be placed on the EU market. Start with a free trial. Plans are annual, priced per published passport from EUR 15 on Starter down to EUR 6 or below on Custom, with a one-time activation fee.
