Digital Product Passport
Hannover Messe
Digital Product Passport
Which exhibitors are showcasing DPP solutions, what events are happening, and what does it mean for manufacturers? An overview from Hannover.
20.–24. April 2026·HannoverWhy the DPP has arrived at Hannover Messe
From February 2027, every industrial and EV battery in the EU needs a digital product passport. The EU Battery Regulation and ESPR make the DPP mandatory — not someday, but in a matter of months.
Hannover Messe is where the industry experiences this challenge for the first time: live demonstrators, standardization forums, and concrete software solutions — from enterprise systems to self-service tools.

The Regulatory Framework
What the EU Battery Regulation and ESPR mean for manufacturers — and why Hannover Messe is the right time to prepare.
EU Battery Regulation
Mandatory from February 2027 for traction batteries, e-bike batteries, and industrial batteries over 2 kWh. Material origin, carbon footprint, recyclability, and performance data must be documented.
ESPR — Ecodesign Regulation
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) extends the DPP to additional product categories — from electronics to textiles.
DIN SPEC 99100
The German standard for battery passport data structure. 7 data clusters from master data to labeling — the technical foundation for compliant product passports.
