Glass for Europe holds a workshop on the Digital Product Passport

The DPP for construction products, whose main features are outlined in the new Construction Products Regulation (CPR), aims to improve product information flows between stakeholders.

Once harmonised product standards are cited under the new CPR and the DPP system is made available, manufacturers will need to emit a DPP for all concerned products. Each DPP will contain the product’s Declaration of Performance and Conformity, technical documentation, product information, information requested by other EU legislation, etc.

Due to the huge variety of products in the building glass value chain, we expect that millions of digital product passports will be emitted only for the flat glass sector. To ensure the efficiency of the system, it is indispensable that the DPP is implemented considering these realities.

This workshop was timely since a consultation is now open to give feedback to the consortium in charge of the DPP feasibility study. This is a chance to provide input on our sector’s realities and evaluate the options envisaged for the future system.

Therefore, we encourage all manufacturers and transformers to answer it before November 27. This will help authorities understand the realities of all actors in the flat glass value chains, whether SMEs or multinational companies, float glass or IGU manufacturers, all over Europe.

Thanks to Anne Minne, Standardisation & Advocacy Manager at Saint-Gobain Glass, for dedicating time to present the DPP and the feasibility study!

Please complete the survey on the DPP feasibility study here (Deadline 27 November).

Do not hesitate to get in touch with our Technical Regulations & Project Advisor, Justin Loup, for any questions regarding this matter.
