# Matrikel > Digital Product Passport (DPP) software for manufacturers and importers. Model a product once, register every serial number, and publish a compliant digital product passport for the EU Battery Regulation, ESPR, and every product category that follows. Matrikel is a self-service SaaS platform, not a consulting engagement. It handles per-serial identifiers, automatic EU registry filing, access-tiered data (public / professional / regulator, enforced per field), a scoped supplier data-collection portal, and GS1 Digital Link–compliant passport URLs (`matrikel.eu/01/{gtin}/21/{serial}`). Batteries, textiles, electronics, furniture, construction products and tyres today; the data model is designed to extend to whatever ESPR brings into scope next. ## Guides - [What is a Digital Product Passport?](https://matrikel.eu/what-is-a-digital-product-passport): A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured, scannable record of a product's materials, origin, carbon footprint and repair data, required under EU law starting with batteries. Here's what it is, who sees what, and how it works. - [The EU Battery Regulation, explained](https://matrikel.eu/eu-battery-regulation-2023-1542): Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requires a digital battery passport for industrial, EV and LMT batteries over 2 kWh by 18 February 2027. What it covers, who it applies to, and what Annex XIII requires. - [ESPR, explained](https://matrikel.eu/espr-ecodesign-regulation): ESPR — Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 — is the EU law bringing Digital Product Passports to textiles, electronics, furniture and more after batteries. What it covers, how the rollout works, and what a delegated act actually decides. - [GS1 Digital Link, explained](https://matrikel.eu/gs1-digital-link-qr-code): GS1 Digital Link turns a product barcode into a resolvable web URL, and it's the standard the EU expects Digital Product Passport QR codes to follow. What it is, how the URL is structured, and why it matters for compliance. ## Industries - [Digital Product Passports, by industry](https://matrikel.eu/industries): How DPP requirements apply to each category, with the model-level and item-level fields for each. - [Batteries](https://matrikel.eu/industries/batteries): Industrial, EV and light means of transport (LMT) batteries over 2 kWh need a digital battery passport before 18 February 2027. Annex XIII of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 fixes the exact field set, which is why batteries is the category Matrikel has modelled in the most depth. - [Textiles & Apparel](https://matrikel.eu/industries/textiles): Garments and footwear placed on the EU market come into scope under ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) as one of the earlier product groups after batteries. The exact field set is set by the textiles delegated act, but the underlying shape — what it's made of, how durable it is, what happens at end of life — follows the same pattern as every other DPP category. - [Electronics & Appliances](https://matrikel.eu/industries/electronics): Consumer electronics and household appliances are named in the ESPR working plan as a priority product group. A DPP here centres on reparability and material recovery — a bill of materials, a repairability score, and spare-parts availability, on top of the carbon-footprint and recycled-content data every category reports. - [Furniture](https://matrikel.eu/industries/furniture): Furniture is named in the ESPR working plan, with requirements expected to focus on material origin, disassembly and recyclability — relevant for manufacturers selling flat-pack, upholstered or structural furniture into the EU. - [Construction Products](https://matrikel.eu/industries/construction-products): Construction products sit at the intersection of ESPR and the separate Construction Products Regulation. A DPP here would carry material composition, embodied carbon and end-of-life recyclability alongside existing CE-marking and performance declarations. - [Tyres](https://matrikel.eu/industries/tyres): Tyres are named in the ESPR working plan, with a likely focus on material composition, abrasion (microplastic) rates and expected mileage — data points that extend the existing EU tyre label rather than replacing it. ## Product - [Eligibility checker](https://matrikel.eu/eligibility): A 2-question tool that tells you whether your product needs a Digital Product Passport under the Battery Regulation or ESPR, and roughly when. - [Contact](https://matrikel.eu/contact): Get in touch about your own product line — what happens after you submit, and a direct email address. ## Optional - [All 27 EU countries](https://matrikel.eu/countries): Country-by-country language and market context. Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and ESPR are EU Regulations — they apply identically in every member state. - [Sitemap](https://matrikel.eu/sitemap.xml): Full machine-readable list of every page, in every supported language.
