Digital Product Passport Symposium on Textiles, Batteries, and Other Strategic Sectors

Background

In the face of accelerating global demand for transparency, traceability, and sustainability, the UNECE and ISO have partnered to advance international standardization through the Digital Product Passport (DPP) initiative. At the core of this effort is ISO 25534-1, the first international project jointly launched to define foundational principles for interoperable DPP systems.

Building on the success of the Kick-off and Ad-hoc meetings, this Industry-Specific DPP Symposium aims to deepen dialogue with key sectors—textile, batteries, and others—to align on requirements and ensure the resulting standards meet real-world needs.

Objectives

This symposium series will:

• Clarify regulatory frameworks, business needs, and data requirements for DPP implementation.
• Identify sector-specific challenges and opportunities.
• Facilitate the exchange of best practices and innovations.
• Address open questions raised in previous meetings.
• Inform and strengthen the ISO 25534-1 and future standardization efforts.

Expected Outcomes

• Agreement on common and sector-specific DPP elements
• Contributions to ISO 25534-1 content
• Identification of gaps and key themes for future standardization
• Publication of findings and recommendations

Target Audience

• Government authorities and regulators
• Industry and supply chain stakeholders
• Technology solution providers
• Research institutions and academia
• International and development organizations
