A tracker for the products and horizontal measures selected in the adopted ESPR and Energy Labelling Working Plan 2025-2030.
Use it to keep indicative adoption years, adopted acts, application dates, Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements, owners, and evidence in separate fields.
The adopted 2025-2030 working plan gives a defined first set of ESPR product and horizontal workstreams, but it does not make their future requirements applicable. Track each workstream from working-plan priority through study, consultation, draft, adoption, entry into force, transition, and application. The relevant or implementing act, not the plan's indicative year, supplies the binding product scope and requirements.
Start with the groups the Commission actually selected in COM(2025) 187 final, adopted on 16 April 2025. Article 18 supplied a broader list for priority consideration, but the working plan selected a narrower set and explained the omissions.
Keep one row per act or measure. Furniture and mattresses need separate rows because their indicative adoption years differ. Textiles/apparel and footwear also need separate rows because footwear was left for a study rather than included in the planned textiles/apparel act.

Official Commission communication for the selected product groups, horizontal measures, indicative adoption years, deferred groups, and carry-over work.
This tracker helps separate adopted ESPR framework duties, preliminary priority research, delegated-act monitoring, DPP readiness, owners, evidence, and source gaps.
Do not flatten all sources into one compliance status. A Joint Research Centre (JRC) preliminary ranking, a Commission working plan, a CIRPASS architecture report, and an adopted carry different weight.
Use plain status labels so reviewers can see whether a row is a watchlist item, an adopted planning signal, or an enforceable product rule.

Binding framework source for product aspects, horizontal requirements, and working-plan prioritisation mechanics.
Keep delegated-act tracking separate from DPP readiness. ESPR Article 9 requires each applicable to specify whether a DPP is required and, if so, the data, carrier, placement, granularity, access rights, actors allowed to create or update data, and availability period.
Prepare source systems and ownership against those categories, but leave product-specific values marked unconfirmed until the adopted act supplies them.

Binding source for the product-specific DPP items that delegated acts must specify and for DPP design principles such as unique identifiers, data carriers, interoperability, access rights, security, and data integrity.
Assign ownership by tracker field, not just by regulation. Product compliance should own product-group scope and delegated-act status; sustainability should own product-aspect evidence; supply chain should own supplier data availability; IT or data architecture should own DPP system dependencies; legal should approve source-status labels.
Evidence should show what is known and what the cited sources do not yet support. Keep the DPP data model provisional until the applicable specifies it. Close or downgrade a row only with a recorded reason, such as a final act excluding the product, a workstream being withdrawn, or a superseding measure replacing the tracked source.
