Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are becoming a key tool for transparency, sustainability, and the circular economy in the European Union. However, for DPP systems to be deployed at scale, their interoperability and alignment across the entire European ecosystem must be ensured. That is why standardization bodies such as CEN-CENELEC JTC 24 and research initiatives like CIRPASS are essential players in this process.
Digital Product Passports will not be effective if every system is based on its own definitions, structures, and approaches. Standards ensure that DPPs from different providers and solutions can be understood and used across systems — a principle known as semantic interoperability.
This is precisely the mission of the CEN-CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 24 (JTC 24), which is working on a common architecture and standards for DPPs, in line with the regulatory requirements of the European Union. The committee brings together experts from different sectors to develop a unified framework that ensures scalable and long-term implementation of DPPs.
CIRPASS is a flagship project funded by the EU Horizon Europe program, with the aim of building the foundations for real-world DPP implementation. CIRPASS brings together industry partners, research institutions, and technology providers to develop tools, data models, and prototypes that will accelerate the transition from concept to practical application.
NOS is an active participant in the CIRPASS-2 initiative, which means we are part of the consortium shaping future requirements and solutions. Our clients benefit not only from our platform but also from the strategic advantage of our alignment with regulatory development.
CIRPASS places particular focus on the first sectors where DPP will become mandatory — including electronics, batteries, and textiles. By 2027, the scope is expected to expand to sectors such as construction products, chemicals, automotive parts, packaging, plastics, and others. Standardization and interoperability in these areas are essential for successful and balanced DPP implementation across the EU.
Our NOS Digital Product Passport solution has been developed in full alignment with the principles defined by CEN-CENELEC JTC 24 and CIRPASS. From the outset, we have focused on semantic interoperability, support for multiple industries, and easy integration with existing systems (ERP, Excel, PIM, etc.).
Whether you manufacture electronics, textiles, construction materials, furniture, packaging, or any other type of product — our DPP platform is ready to support your needs and simplify compliance with European requirements.
We are open to collaboration with companies of all sizes, as well as with standardization bodies, regulators, and industry partners who are shaping the future of digital product passports.
