A semi-finished product that disappears into a thousand end products, and yet must carry its own passport. Your customer will ask for it before the law does.
A digital product passport for iron and steel is coming. The date is not yet set: ESPR work programme 2025-2030: first delegated act expected in 2026, obligations eighteen months later. Those who start now will only need a button later.
The target audience is steel trading, metal processors, construction companies. They do not search for "ESPR" or "delegated act" but for "steel passport" — and this front door has been built on that, with the knowledge base in the language of that sector.
Technically this is the same passport engine as the other front doors, with a group configuration on top: the fields, the standard references and the clock of semi-finished products of iron and steel are a dataset and not code. Activating a new product group is therefore a front door plus a dataset, not a renovation.
What it does
The product scan
The customer provides his catalogue; we classify each product in his group and show per product which data is still missing.
Compiling the passport
The fields that iron and steel need, with the source of the requirement for each field.
Retrieving supply chain data
What the manufacturer doesn't know himself is requested in one query per supplier — not four separate emails about the same product.
Publishing and maintaining
The passport goes live at its own address with a QR code, and changes are recorded with version control. It has to be: in a recall, the question is always what was on it on the day of sale.
For whom
- Steel trading
- Metal processors, construction companies
- Anyone who is asked for a passport by a customer and doesn't know where to start
Where it is found
The search language is that of the sector: steel passport, steel product passport, ESPR steel, construction material passport. The volume will pick up once the delegated act makes the news — those who are already present will be found.
Frequently asked questions
Does this apply to my product?
The group comprises semi-finished products of iron and steel. The free product scan divides your catalogue and tells you per product whether it falls under it.
When does it need to be ready?
That is not yet set. ESPR work programme 2025-2030: first delegated act expected in 2026, obligations eighteen months later. As soon as the act is published, the date will appear here and the clock will count down.
What if my product falls into two groups?
Then it's one record with two passport layers, to be managed on prodpas.eu. Never enter twice — that's the core principle of the umbrella, and it prevents you from having two different figures for the same item one day.
How this platform is built
