The deployment of the DPP is still in its infant stages. The EU is yet to decide on the exact formalization of data requirements, standardized definitions and data collection practices.
So for now all you can do as a business is to make sure that you have a healthy and strong foundation behind your product data.
If you don't already have a suitable single source of truth for all things product information management, make sure to prioritize implementation of a flexible and scalable PIM solution as quick as possible as it will be absolutely key to meeting the future requirements and regulations.
Here is a list of possible details that the DPP might include in some form or shape:
- Basic product data (like name, model, batch numbers, warranty details, features etc.)
- Material data (like the raw materials and components used to manufacture the product)
- Repair data (if and how the product can be repaired)
- Environmental/sustainability data (carbon footprints throughout the product lifecycle, etc.)
If you're a Struct PIM client, you're in good hands as you or your Struct PIM partner can model the product data anyway necessary. Below you can see an example of an editing tab containing all DPP related data requirements:
