Product-passport preparation
Digital product passport evidence readiness: start with what you can prove
Organize product-family evidence, sources, owners, gaps, and authoritative review needs before choosing a final DPP implementation.
Target outcome
A bounded readiness map that separates present records from missing, stale, conflicting, or authority-dependent evidence.
Work through the evidence
before the final claim.
- 01
Define the product-family boundary
Record which models, variants, markets, suppliers, and lifecycle stages are included. A vague scope makes evidence completeness impossible to interpret.
- 02
Inventory evidence, not desired fields
For each candidate fact, identify the current record, system, owner, effective date, geography, and whether the source is authoritative.
- 03
Type the gap
Separate absent records, inaccessible records, conflicting values, stale evidence, unclear ownership, and requirements needing legal or regulatory interpretation.
- 04
Prioritize by dependency
Resolve identity and source-of-truth questions before automating downstream publication or exchange.
Example input
A concrete first pass
A product family has material declarations from two suppliers, a current SKU master, and no agreed source for repairability information.
Reviewable output
Present evidence for identity and materials, a conflict check for supplier declarations, and an authority-required gap for repairability.
The team can begin evidence work without pretending that a readiness map is a legal compliance determination.
Important boundaries
What this workflow does not prove
- This is not legal, regulatory, certification, or conformity advice.
- Applicable requirements and authoritative fields must be confirmed by qualified owners.
- Readiness does not imply compliance or successful passport publication.
