Digital product passport - Data authentication, reliability and integrity

Edition date: 2026-09-16
In Force
Available languages: French, English, German
Summary: This document defines the requirements and frameworks for secure information processing and communication to safeguard integrity, authenticity and reliability in the digital product passport (DPP) data exchange, minimizing product fraud and counterfeiting through data verification and integrity enforcement mechanisms. This document provides a framework for establishing trust, interoperability, and interoperation via secure electronically signed data construct (ESDC) for multi-actor applications, applicable across various sectors and in multilingual environments. Existing hardware and software systems for unique product identification and storage of this identification are to be considered. The following is out of scope of the document: system architecture for DPP, DPP use cases, secure elements related to data carriers and cryptographic security features for unique product identifiers. NOTE 1 While not disrupting existing traceability and authentication systems, this document facilitates interoperability by introducing an ESDC scheme to be combined with existing data constructs to cover and preserve existing data models. NOTE 2 Annex B includes illustrative examples and references to supporting implementations, intended to demonstrate approaches that promote interoperability across diverse environments. These references are provided to assist stakeholders in selecting appropriate solutions that comply with applicable legal obligations and technical standards, while preserving existing systems.

Le présent document définit les exigences et les cadres relatifs au traitement et à la communication sécurisés de l'information afin de préserver l'intégrité, l'authenticité et la fiabilité de l'échange de données du passeport numérique des produits (DPP), ce qui réduit au minimum la fraude et la contrefaçon des produits par le biais de mécanismes de vérification et d'application de l'intégrité des données. Le présent document fournit un cadre pour établir la confiance, l'interopérabilité et l'interopération par le biais d'un ensemble de données signées électroniquement (ESDC) sécurisée pour les applications impliquant plusieurs acteurs, applicable dans différents secteurs et dans des environnements multilingues. Les systèmes matériels et logiciels existants pour l'identification unique du produit et le stockage de cette identification doivent être pris en compte. Les éléments suivants ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application du présent document : architecture système pour DPP, cas d'utilisation du DPP, éléments sécurisés liés aux supports de données et fonctionnalités de sécurité cryptographiques pour les identifiants uniques « produit ». NOTE 1 Bien qu'il ne perturbe pas les systèmes de traçabilité et d'authentification existants, le présent document facilite l'interopérabilité en introduisant un système ESDC à combiner avec les ensembles de données déjà disponibles, afin de couvrir et préserver les modèles de données actuels. NOTE 2 L'Annexe A comprend des exemples illustratifs et des références à des mises en œuvre de soutien, destinés à démontrer des approches qui favorisent l'interopérabilité dans divers environnements. Ces références sont fournies pour aider les parties prenantes à choisir des solutions appropriées conformes aux obligations légales et aux normes techniques applicables, tout en préservant les systèmes existants.

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen und die Rahmenwerke für eine sichere Informationsverarbeitung und Kommunikation fest, um die Integrität, Authentizität und Zuverlässigkeit im Austausch von Daten des digitalen Produktpasses (DPP) sicherzustellen und Produktbetrug und fälschungen durch Mechanismen zur Datenverifizierung und Integritätsdurchsetzung zu minimieren. Dieses Dokument bietet ein Rahmenwerk für die Schaffung von Vertrauen, Interoperabilität und Zusammenarbeit durch ein sicheres elektronisch signiertes Datenkonstrukt (ESDC, en: electronically signed data construct) für Anwendungen mit mehreren Akteuren, die in verschiedenen Sektoren und in mehrsprachigen Umgebungen anwendbar sind. Bestehende Hard- und Softwaresysteme zur eindeutigen Produktidentifikation und Speicherung dieser Identifikation sind zu berücksichtigen. Folgendes gehört nicht zum Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments: Systemarchitektur für DPP, DPP Anwendungsfälle, sichere Elemente in Bezug auf Datenträger und kryptografische Sicherheitsmerkmale für eindeutige Produktkennungen. ANMERKUNG 1 Ohne die bestehenden Rückverfolgbarkeits- und Authentifizierungssysteme zu stören, ermöglicht dieses Dokument Interoperabilität durch die Einführung eines ESDC-Schemas, das mit bestehenden Datenkonstrukten kombiniert werden kann, um bestehende Datenmodelle abzudecken und zu erhalten. ANMERKUNG 2 Anhang B enthält anschauliche Beispiele und Verweisungen auf unterstützende Implementierungen, die Ansätze zur Förderung der Interoperabilität in unterschiedlichen Umgebungen aufzeigen sollen. Diese Verweisungen sollen den Stakeholdern bei der Auswahl geeigneter Lösungen helfen, die den geltenden rechtlichen Verpflichtungen und technischen Normen entsprechen und gleichzeitig die bestehenden Systeme erhalten.
