Digital Product Passport Readiness
Digital Product Passport — Maturity Analysis and Product Family Pilot
We measure your product family's data readiness field by field, identify the owner of each data point and establish a workable pilot plan.
Promise
We measure your product family's data readiness field by field, identify the owner of each field and establish a workable pilot plan.
What is it?
The work sets out the expected data fields in six blocks: identity and traceability, materials and composition, environmental performance, repair and spare parts, compliance documents, and end of life.
Three questions are asked of every field: where is the data produced, who owns it, and in which system is it held? A field that cannot answer all three is flagged as a critical gap.
Why is it necessary?
Experience shows that most critical gaps are organisational rather than technical — the data has no owner. Assigning an owner is both cheaper and faster than building a system.
The same data is requested in European buyers' sustainability questionnaires. Planned together, a single exercise solves two problems.
There is a further benefit rarely discussed: gathering product data requires rethinking the product. Every product rethought is an opportunity for a design registration or a patent — and the party who will see that is the attorney.
What do we promise?
- We identify the expected data fields and the owner of each, and provide a gap index
- We surface data conflicts — where the same information is held differently in different systems
- We select the data carrier (code, tag or data matrix) according to product life and operating environment
- In the pilot we deliver a working end-to-end data chain for one product family
- We flag, in a separate note, the protectable elements that emerge during the work
Who is it for?
Producers selling into the EU in the steel, textile, aluminium, furniture, tyre and battery value chains; any company beginning to receive product data requests from its buyers.
How do we work?
- 1Selecting the priority product family
- 2Extracting the data dictionary
- 3Source system map and ownership identification
- 4Gap index and critical gaps
- 5Data carrier decision and placement design
- 6Pilot work plan and implementation
Our limits
The delegated act for the relevant product group may not yet have been published. This work is not a statement of compliance but a readiness assessment; the data dictionary is revisited once the delegated act is published.
