What information must the DPP contain for chemicals and detergents?

The content of the digital passport is divided into two categories: general data required for any chemical product under the ecodesign framework, and specific data based on the product category (such as detergents).

 

For most chemical products, the mandatory data inputs will include:

 

• Identification and Traceability: This includes the Unique Product Identifier (UPI), the operator identifier (manufacturer or importer), and, in many cases, the identification code of the facility where the substance or mixture was manufactured.
• Substances of Concern: This is a critical point for the chemical sector. The DPP must disclose the presence of any substances that affect reuse or recycling, including their name, concentration, and location within the product.
• Environmental Performance: Data regarding the carbon footprint, resource consumption during production, and the use of recycled content in packaging.

• Safety Documentation: Direct links to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and other technical certificates of conformity.

For detergents and surfactants, additional requirements apply due to their direct contact with consumers and the aquatic environment:

 

• Full Ingredient List: Unlike physical labels, the DPP allows for the digital disclosure of the full composition, promoting total transparency.
• Microbial Information: If the product contains microorganisms, the taxonomic name, concentration, and safety conditions for use must be included.
• Dosage and Sustainable Use: Detailed instructions to prevent overconsumption and minimize impact on wastewater treatment plants.
