Identity and data carrier
Information identifying the product and an access point on the physical item.

DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORT · DPP
Permanent product identity, built with the Digital Product Passport in mind.
KIMLIKNO provides permanent machine identity and Machine Passport capabilities today. DPP work develops on the same identity foundation as technical standards and product-specific rules become applicable; today’s product is not a regulated EU DPP.
THE BIG PICTURE
A DPP is more than a QR code.
A QR can be a doorway to data. The European DPP approach also involves persistent identifiers, structured product information, data persistence, role-appropriate access and exchange between systems. Product-specific duties come from applicable legislation.

Data defined by the product group and applicable rules, with provenance and persistence.
Access and interoperability
Appropriate access for different users, data exchange and compatibility across systems.
TODAY AND DIRECTION
A clear line between today's product and future work.
Machine Passport
- Permanent machine identity and public URL
- Machine-linked QR and printable label
- Machine Passport and public documents
- Owner-only access; warranty and commissioning records
- Maintenance, service and spare-part requests
DPP direction
- Structured DPP data profiles by product group
- Data provenance and evidence relationships
- Appropriate access rights and machine-readable exchange
- Assessment against European interoperability standards
- Assessment of Registry connectivity if applicable law requires it
These are development directions, not feature commitments or claims of regulatory compliance or certification.
PRODUCT GROUP MATTERS
There is no single DPP for every product.
ESPR provides a framework. Product-group measures or separate sectoral EU legislation determine which information is needed, at what level and for whom. That is why we do not promise a universal DPP form or one deadline for every product.

Standards and the Registry are taking shape.
CEN-CENELEC's horizontal DPP work covers system topics including identifiers, data carriers, exchange, storage, APIs, interoperability, access and integrity. It does not replace product-specific data requirements.
The European Commission's DPP Registry launched in July 2026. It is infrastructure for identifiers and registration metadata, not a central store of every detailed passport record. KIMLIKNO does not claim Registry integration today.
