This is precisely why they are among the prioritized product groups in the European Commission\u2019s ESPR work plan. A delegated act is currently being prepared for iron and steel. According to the current ESPR work plan, a Digital Product Passport (DPP) could become a relevant requirement toward the end of this decade.<br\/>For steel manufacturers, processors, importers, and system providers, this means: Those who do not begin preparations today risk losing market access tomorrow. We provide companies with an overview of all relevant aspects of the Digital Product Passport for iron and steel: significance, scope of impact, legal basis, obligations, deadlines, data requirements, benefits, and a concrete roadmap for implementation.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50

The delegated act is expected in 2026, and the DPP requirement is expected to take effect in 2027\/2028. <\/li><li><strong>The critical path is data collection:<\/strong> It is not the technology, but rather the availability and quality of the data\u2014particularly from the supply chain\u2014that determines the success of the implementation.<\/li><li><strong>Compliance is not an end in itself:<\/strong> The DPP offers concrete economic benefits\u2014from \u201cgreen premium\u201d marketing to simplified reporting and new business models.<\/li><li><strong>Preparing too early costs nothing\u2014but preparing too late costs market access:<\/strong> Companies that start their readiness analysis now have a buffer. Companies that wait for the delegated act have a tight timeframe. <\/li><li><strong>Investment Protection Through Flexible Infrastructure:<\/strong> Those who build the DPP as a reusable data infrastructure from the outset will also be prepared for future regulatory requirements.<\/li><\/ul><p>The DPP will change the way steel is produced, traded, and recycled. Companies that actively shape this transformation will not only secure their market access\u2014they will also lay the foundation for sustainable growth in an increasingly transparent and data-driven
