Use these answers to separate what the ESPR framework already says from details that still depend on product-specific rules, standards, or common specifications. The ESPR is a framework regulation for sustainable products in the EU market. It expands ecodesign beyond energy-related products, but most concrete product obligations still arrive through delegated acts for specific product groups or horizontal requirements. ## Browse sub-FAQ modules ### [ESPR delegated acts FAQ: product rules, DPP impact, and monitoring](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/delegated-acts.md) Standalone FAQ on ESPR delegated acts, why product-group duties depend on them, what teams should monitor, and how they shape Digital Product Passport information. - 5 items ### [ESPR destruction ban and unsold goods FAQ](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/destruction-ban.md) What ESPR says about preventing destruction of unsold consumer products, annual disclosure, the Annex VII apparel and footwear ban, and grounded derogation evidence. - 5 items ### [ESPR market surveillance FAQ: evidence, DPP data, and authority requests](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/market-surveillance.md) Standalone FAQ on ESPR market surveillance: technical documentation, conformity evidence, DPP data, authority response, delegated-act limits, and national penalties. - 5 items ### [ESPR product priorities FAQ: working plan and delegated acts](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/product-priorities.md) Standalone FAQ on ESPR product priorities, the Commission working plan, delegated-act dependency, monitoring points, and limits of preliminary source material. - 4 items ### [ESPR unsold goods disclosure FAQ](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/unsold-goods-disclosure.md) Standalone FAQ on the ESPR Article 24 duty to disclose discarded unsold consumer products, its relationship to the destruction ban, records, and source limits. - 4 items ### [EU ESPR DPP obligations FAQ](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md) Standalone FAQ on Digital Product Passport obligations under ESPR, covering delegated acts, identifiers, carriers, access rights, data governance, and supplier evidence limits. - 5 items ### [Which products are in scope of the EU ESPR?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md) Standalone FAQ on ESPR product scope, excluded products, delegated-act dependency, working-plan monitoring, and the digital product passport link. - 6 items Browse all indexed questions: [/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/items](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/items.md) ## All FAQ items *Page 2 of 2. Showing 14 of 34 items.* ### [How does disclosure relate to the destruction ban?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/unsold-goods-disclosure.md#how-does-disclosure-relate-to-the-destruction-ban) *Module: [ESPR unsold goods disclosure](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/unsold-goods-disclosure.md)* Disclosure and prohibition are linked but separate. Article 24 requires publication of information about discarded unsold consumer products. Article 25 prohibits destruction only for unsold consumer products listed in Annex VII, and the initial Annex VII list covers apparel and clothing accessories plus footwear commodity-code entries. - Use Article 24 records to support disclosure even where the product is outside the current Annex VII prohibition list. - Use Article 25 and Annex VII to decide whether a destruction-ban analysis is also needed. - Do not state that all discarded unsold products are banned from destruction. - Do not infer national penalties or enforcement practice from the Article 24 disclosure text. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Articles 24 and 25](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Supports the distinction between the Article 24 disclosure duty and Article 25 prohibition for Annex VII products, including the anti-circumvention rule. - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Annex VII](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Grounds the current Annex VII product groups as apparel and clothing accessories and footwear, with commodity-code descriptions in the ESPR text. - [European Commission - New law to make products on the EU market more sustainable](https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/new-law-make-products-eu-market-more-sustainable-2024-07-19_en?ref=sorena.io) - Commission news summary explaining that ESPR bans destruction of unsold textiles and footwear and opens a path to similar bans in other sectors if evidence supports them. ### [Which product and operator caveats matter most?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/unsold-goods-disclosure.md#which-product-and-operator-caveats-matter-most) *Module: [ESPR unsold goods disclosure](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/unsold-goods-disclosure.md)* The first caveat is the product label. Article 24 is about unsold consumer products that are discarded; it is not a general disclosure rule for every inventory adjustment, write-down, component, intermediate input, return, or waste stream unless the facts fit that wording. - Classify whether the item is an unsold consumer product before counting it in the Article 24 disclosure. - Identify whether the economic operator discarded the product directly or through a third party acting on its behalf. - Track enterprise-size assumptions separately from product-category assumptions. - Keep group, marketplace, distributor, and supplier narratives out of the disclosure unless the source record shows the operator's actual role in the discard decision. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Article 24](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Grounds the economic-operator trigger, unsold consumer product framing, enterprise-size exclusions, and medium-sized enterprise timing. - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Article 25](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Supports the narrow caveat that delegated acts may apply Article 24 or Article 25 duties to micro and small enterprises where circumvention evidence is sufficient. ### [What records and evidence should support publication?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/unsold-goods-disclosure.md#what-records-and-evidence-should-support-publication) *Module: [ESPR unsold goods disclosure](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/unsold-goods-disclosure.md)* Article 24 requires more than a public web page. If the Commission or a competent national authority asks, the operator must provide the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate delivery and reception of the discarded products disclosed under Article 24(1)(c), and where relevant the information needed to demonstrate an Article 25(5) derogation. - Retain source data for the number and weight disclosed per product type or category. - Keep records showing why products were discarded and which prevention measures were taken or planned. - Preserve delivery and reception evidence for preparing for reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, recycling, recovery, energy recovery, or disposal routes. - Keep derogation evidence separate and cite Article 25(5) only where the facts actually support one of the listed reasons. - Archive the exact website disclosure text and publication location for each annual cycle. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Article 24](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Grounds the documentation request duty, delivery and reception evidence, derogation support, paper or electronic format, and 30-day response period. - [European Commission - Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation](https://commission.europa.eu/energy-climate-change-environment/standards-tools-and-labels/products-labelling-rules-and-requirements/ecodesign-sustainable-products-regulation_en?ref=sorena.io) - Commission overview supports the public website disclosure expectation and summarizes the disclosed fields as number, weight, and reasons for discarded products. ### [Does ESPR already require a Digital Product Passport for every product?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md#does-espr-already-require-a-digital-product-passport-for-every-product) *Module: [EU ESPR DPP obligations](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md)* No. ESPR sets a horizontal framework. Article 9 says information requirements shall provide that products can be placed on the market or put into service only if a Digital Product Passport is available in accordance with the applicable delegated act and Articles 10 and 11. - Do not publish a universal ESPR DPP field list for all products. - Do not assume a passport is required until the relevant product group rule says so. - Track the Commission working-plan and delegated-act process for products your business places on the EU market. - Prepare data governance now, but label unfinalised product fields as delegated-act dependent. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Article 9 ties DPP availability to applicable delegated acts and to the essential requirements in Articles 10 and 11. - [European Commission DPP consultation launch](https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/news/commission-launches-consultation-digital-product-passport-2025-04-09_en?ref=sorena.io) - Commission consultation page confirms DPP system development questions for storage, service providers, and possible certification. ### [What will the product-specific delegated act decide?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md#what-will-the-product-specific-delegated-act-decide) *Module: [EU ESPR DPP obligations](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md)* The delegated act is where ESPR turns the passport framework into product-group instructions. Article 9 requires delegated acts to specify the passport data, data carrier, carrier layout and position, whether the passport is at model, batch or item level, customer pre-contract access, stakeholder access rights, who may create or update data, update arrangements, and how long the passport remains available. - Map each proposed field to the product-specific delegated act before treating it as required. - Record whether the product passport level is model, batch, or item. - Separate public information from restricted information for authorities or defined value-chain actors. - Keep voluntary extra information distinct from required passport information. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Article 9 and Annex III define the delegated-act decisions and candidate data elements for DPP requirements. - [CEN-CENELEC DPP workshop page](https://www.cencenelec.eu/news-events/news/2024/workshop/2024-06-24-circthread/?ref=sorena.io) - CEN-CENELEC workshop material describes design choices for carrier, information portal, contents, and information exchange. ### [What do ESPR Articles 10 to 14 say about identifiers, carriers, access, and infrastructure?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md#what-do-espr-articles-10-to-14-say-about-identifiers-carriers-access-and-infrastructure) *Module: [EU ESPR DPP obligations](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md)* Article 10 requires the passport to be connected through a data carrier to a persistent unique product identifier. The data carrier must be physically present on the product, packaging, or accompanying documentation as specified in the applicable delegated act. - Choose carrier and identifier approaches that can support ISO/IEC 15459 alignment where relevant. - Design for open, machine-readable, structured, searchable, and transferable data without vendor lock-in. - Treat customer personal data as out of scope unless there is explicit consent under GDPR. - Plan for back-up copy arrangements through a DPP service provider where Article 10 applies. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Articles 10 to 14 define essential DPP design, identifier, registry, and web-portal requirements. - [ETSI ES 204 082](https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_es/204000_204099/204082/01.01.01_60/es_204082v010101p.pdf?ref=sorena.io) - ETSI material provides a sustainability and circularity information-model reference relevant to DPP data modelling discussions. ### [How should teams govern DPP data and supplier evidence before final product rules are settled?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md#how-should-teams-govern-dpp-data-and-supplier-evidence-before-final-product-rules-are-settled) *Module: [EU ESPR DPP obligations](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md)* Start with data lineage, not final field guesses. For each likely passport data point, identify the internal owner, supplier source, calculation method, update trigger, evidence location, access classification, and whether the field is required by law, expected by draft product work, or voluntary. - Create a field inventory with status labels: required, draft, voluntary, unknown, or blocked. - Require supplier evidence for material composition, durability, reparability, recycled content, conformity documents, or other claims only where the source rule or chosen voluntary disclosure needs it. - Keep versioning and timestamping for DPP information changes, especially model-level changes that could affect many units. - Document who may read, write, approve, or correct each field. Sources for this answer: - [CEN-CENELEC DPP workshop page](https://www.cencenelec.eu/news-events/news/2024/workshop/2024-06-24-circthread/?ref=sorena.io) - CEN-CENELEC material grounds practical DPP design decisions for carrier, portal, contents, exchange, and lifecycle use cases. - [CIRPASS DPP recommendations](https://cirpassproject.eu/faq/?ref=sorena.io) - CIRPASS recommendations identify standards, value-chain, data quality, and implementation challenges for DPP rollout. ### [What DPP claims should this FAQ not make?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md#what-dpp-claims-should-this-faq-not-make) *Module: [EU ESPR DPP obligations](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/dpp-obligations.md)* Do not state final DPP fields, universal product deadlines, penalties, certification obligations, or mandatory service-provider arrangements unless the claim is grounded in ESPR, an applicable delegated act, or a later binding act. The Commission consultation material shows that service-provider storage, management, and certification questions are still part of policy development. - Do not treat CIRPASS, CEN-CENELEC, ETSI, or GS1 materials as binding ESPR product requirements by themselves. - Do not turn Annex III candidate elements into a universal mandatory checklist. - Do not promise that a QR code alone satisfies ESPR; the delegated act decides carrier details and access requirements. - Do not assume public users, suppliers, repairers, customs, and market surveillance authorities all see the same data. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj?ref=sorena.io) - ESPR reserves key DPP data, access, and update details for applicable delegated acts. - [European Commission DPP impact assessment surveys](https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/news/take-part-our-impact-assessment-digital-product-passport-2025-07-25_en?ref=sorena.io) - Commission impact-assessment page shows future service-provider requirements and certification feasibility were still under assessment. ### [Scope basics for physical goods](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md#scope-basics-for-physical-goods) *Module: [Which products are in scope of the EU ESPR?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md)* The starting point is broad: ESPR applies to physical goods placed on the EU market or put into service, including components and intermediate products. That means a scope review should begin with the product itself, its route to the EU market, and whether it is a component or intermediate product rather than only a finished consumer item. - Start with the Article 1 scope test: physical goods, EU market placement or putting into service, components, and intermediate products. - Check Article 1 exclusions before assigning an ESPR workstream. - Then check whether the product group is already covered by an applicable delegated act or is being prioritised in the working plan. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Article 1 sets the broad scope for physical goods, including components and intermediate products, and Article 4 makes product-group requirements dependent on delegated acts. - [European Commission - Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation](https://commission.europa.eu/energy-climate-change-environment/standards-tools-and-labels/products-labelling-rules-and-requirements/ecodesign-sustainable-products-regulation_en?ref=sorena.io) - Commission overview explains that ESPR extends ecodesign beyond energy-related products to virtually all physical products, with concrete rules developed later. ### [Which products are excluded or need caveats?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md#which-products-are-excluded-or-need-caveats) *Module: [Which products are in scope of the EU ESPR?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md)* Article 1 excludes food, feed, human and veterinary medicinal products, living plants, animals and micro-organisms, products of human origin, and plant or animal products relating directly to future reproduction. Certain vehicles are excluded only for product aspects covered by sector-specific EU legislation. - Record the exact exclusion relied on, not a generic statement that the product is outside ESPR. - For vehicles, identify the product aspect and the sector-specific EU act before treating the aspect as excluded. - If the fact pattern is medical, food, chemical, vehicle-related, or mixed-use, avoid turning the ESPR FAQ into a sector-law conclusion without source support. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Article 1 lists the excluded product categories and limits the vehicle exclusion to aspects already covered by sector-specific EU legislation. - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Official ELI text cross-check for the Article 1 exclusions and the recital caveat that e-bikes and e-scooters should not be excluded. ### [Why does delegated-act status matter?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md#why-does-delegated-act-status-matter) *Module: [Which products are in scope of the EU ESPR?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md)* ESPR is framework legislation. It establishes the system for setting ecodesign requirements, but the binding details for a product group come through delegated acts. Those acts specify the product group, requirements, methods, conformity assessment, technical documentation elements, transitional period, and review date. - Do not invent product-specific performance thresholds, DPP fields, labels, conformity modules, penalties, or dates from the broad scope rule. - Tie obligations to the applicable delegated act once one exists for the product group. - Where no delegated act is identified in the grounding, describe the product as a monitoring item rather than a settled detailed-obligation item. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Articles 4 and 8 explain that ecodesign requirements and required act contents are set by delegated acts for product groups. - [European Commission - Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation](https://commission.europa.eu/energy-climate-change-environment/standards-tools-and-labels/products-labelling-rules-and-requirements/ecodesign-sustainable-products-regulation_en?ref=sorena.io) - Commission implementation text describes ESPR as framework legislation followed by concrete product-by-product or horizontal rules. ### [How should teams monitor product groups?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md#how-should-teams-monitor-product-groups) *Module: [Which products are in scope of the EU ESPR?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md)* Monitor the ESPR working plan and delegated-act pipeline, not only the regulation text. Article 18 requires a publicly available working plan that prioritises product groups and horizontal requirements, and the Commission overview says the first ESPR and Energy Labelling Working Plan was adopted in April 2025. - Maintain a product-group watchlist mapped to Article 18 priorities and any published working-plan updates. - Track whether a rule is product-specific or horizontal because horizontal requirements can cover multiple product groups. - Update the scope answer when a delegated act defines the covered product group and its commodity codes or product descriptions. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Article 18 provides the prioritisation criteria, working-plan mechanism, first working-plan product groups, and annual progress reporting. - [European Commission - Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation](https://commission.europa.eu/energy-climate-change-environment/standards-tools-and-labels/products-labelling-rules-and-requirements/ecodesign-sustainable-products-regulation_en?ref=sorena.io) - Commission overview identifies implementation through the first ESPR and Energy Labelling Working Plan and later product rules. ### [How does product scope link to the Digital Product Passport?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md#how-does-product-scope-link-to-the-digital-product-passport) *Module: [Which products are in scope of the EU ESPR?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md)* The DPP link follows the same delegated-act logic. Article 9 says products can only be placed on the market or put into service with a DPP where the applicable delegated act requires it, and the delegated act specifies the data, carrier, access, level, update responsibilities, and availability period. - Use ESPR scope to decide whether DPP monitoring is relevant for a product group. - Use the applicable delegated act to identify actual DPP data fields, access rights, and product/model/batch/item level. - Keep DPP evidence separate from general product-scope evidence until a product-group act connects them. Sources for this answer: - [Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 (ESPR)](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781/oj/eng?ref=sorena.io) - Articles 7, 9, 10, and 11 ground the DPP link, including delegated-act dependency and essential technical requirements. - [European Commission - Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation](https://commission.europa.eu/energy-climate-change-environment/standards-tools-and-labels/products-labelling-rules-and-requirements/ecodesign-sustainable-products-regulation_en?ref=sorena.io) - Commission overview explains the DPP as a digital identity card for products, components, and materials with sustainability information. ### [What evidence should support a products-in-scope answer?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md#what-evidence-should-support-a-products-in-scope-answer) *Module: [Which products are in scope of the EU ESPR?](/artifacts/eu/ecodesign-for-sustainable-products-regulation/faq/products-in-scope.md)* Keep the evidence narrow. A useful ESPR product-scope record should show the product description, EU market route, whether it is a component or intermediate product, any Article 1 exclusion analysis, the relevant Article 18 product group or working-plan item, and the delegated-act status. - Article 1 scope and exclusion citation. - Product-group mapping and working-plan monitoring note. - Delegated-act citation or a clear note that no product-group act was identified in the reviewed grounding. - DPP citation limited to Article 9 and the applicable product-group act where available. - Source URL list using external HTTPS URLs with ref=sorena.io.
