We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the new Expert Group “Digital Product Passport”. Applications are accepted until February 20th.
What is the purpose of the DPP Expert Group?
The DPP Expert Group addresses the challenge of integrating Digital Product Passport (DPP) data across the automotive supply chain, driven by evolving regulations such as ESPR, ELVR, and the Battery Regulation.

- Support clarity and feasibility for supply-chain actors contributing data to DPPs
Why should you participate?
- Actively shape how DPP-related data is exchanged within the supply chain, considering new regulations
- Influence harmonized, cross-industry standards that reduce complexity and increase adoption
- Collaborate with experienced DPP, data, and supply-chain experts in Catena-X
- Contribute to the definition, exchange, and use of DPP data in real industrial processes

- Expertise in DPP, supply chain data modeling, or regulatory compliance
- Hands-on mentality and willingness to drive topics to results
- Commitment to regular participation (minimum 10 hours per month, weekly meetings and offline work on deliverables)
