Decision before choosing a DPP platform
Clarify the regulatory, data and architecture decisions first. The platform should support those choices — not define them for you.
Regulatory foundations
What regulation applies?
Product scope · ESPR / Battery Regulation · delegated acts · mandatory data · timelines
Who owns the data?
Data responsibility · suppliers · economic operator · source systems · governance
Data foundations
What is the product identifier?
GTIN · serial · batch · UID · data carrier · product-to-passport linkage
Where will the data live?
ERP / PIM / PLM · DPP platform · distributed data · hosting · interoperability
Access & portability
Who can see what?
Public data · restricted data · authorities · repairers · role-based access
How will you change providers later?
