Jewelry is not currently covered by a dedicated Digital Product Passport Delegated Act under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
While no jewelry-specific requirements have been published, the ESPR establishes the legal framework through which future product groups may receive Digital Product Passport obligations via Delegated Acts.
This page summarizes the current regulatory framework, expected product scope and implementation timeline.
What is the Digital Product Passport for jewelry?
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record introduced by the ESPR to make product information accessible throughout a product’s lifecycle. Product-specific Digital Product Passport requirements are established through Delegated Acts adopted by the European Commission. At present, no Delegated Act has been announced for jewelry products.
Jewellery Digital Product Passport regulatory framework
Unlike textiles, furniture, tyres and mattresses, jewelry is not included among the first priority product groups identified in the ESPR Working Plan 2025–2030. As a result, no preparatory study or implementation timeline has yet been published for jewellery-specific Digital Product Passport requirements.

Current regulatory status for jewelry
The European Commission has not yet published product-specific Digital Product Passport requirements for jewellery. No mandatory product scope, data requirements or implementation timeline are currently available. Future obligations, if introduced, would be established through a dedicated Delegated Act under the ESPR.
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION
- No preparatory study has yet been announced.
- No DPP dataset has been published.
- No implementation timeline is available.
- No product-specific data carrier requirements have been defined.
Preparing Digital Product Passport for jewelry
Jewellery products are often accompanied by certificates, hallmark information, gemstone documentation and servicing records. Structuring these product-level records today allows brands to keep information connected to each item over time while preparing for future Digital Product Passport developments.
Examples include:
- Hallmark and precious metal information
- Gemstone certificates nd grading reports
- Product authenticity documentation
- Care and maintenance guidance
- Repair and servicing records
- Warranty information
- Product identification
DPP data carrier requirements for jewelry
Under the ESPR, every Digital Product Passport must be accessible through a data carrier physically linked to the product, its packaging or accompanying documentation.
While no jewellery-specific requirements have been published, current implementations in the jewellery sector typically combine digital identification with authentication and product documentation.
- QR code: printed on the product tag, packaging or certificate to provide access to the Digital Product Passport.
- GS1 Digital Link: increasingly used to connect a unique product identifier with digital product information through a single interoperable link.
- NFC: integrated into premium packaging or authentication solutions, allowing customers to access product information and verify authenticity with a smartphone.
Because jewellery products are typically sold together with certificates, warranty documents or authentication records, many brands already use the product packaging or accompanying documentation as the primary access point to digital product information.
