Pilots & Implementations¶
Major EU-funded projects¶
Battery Pass¶
- Consortium: BMW, BASF, Umicore, and others
- Focus: Battery passport data model and pilot implementation
- Output: Open-source data model on GitHub (
batterypass/BatteryPassDataModel), aligned with DIN DKE SPEC 99100 - Status: Version 1.2.0 released, schema generation in JSON Schema, JSON-LD, OpenAPI, AAS XML
- Website: thebatterypass.eu
CIRPASS¶
- Funded by: European Commission (Horizon Europe)
- Focus: Cross-sector DPP architecture for batteries, textiles, and electronics
- Output: System architecture document (D3.2), requirements specifications
- Key contribution: DID-based and HTTP URI-based dual architecture, GS1 Digital Link integration
- Status: Phase 1 complete; CIRPASS-2 continues the work
- Website: cirpassproject.eu
Catena-X / Tractus-X¶
- Focus: Automotive industry data space with DPP as a core use case
- Output: Eclipse Tractus-X open-source components, battery pass semantic models
- Key feature: Decentralized data exchange using Eclipse Dataspace Connector (EDC)
- Repository:
eclipse-tractusx/sldt-semantic-models
SURPASS¶
- Focus: DPP for the textile and leather sectors
- Output: Textile passport data model and pilot
- Status: Active
CIRFASHION¶
- Focus: Circular fashion and textile DPP
- Partners: Fashion brands and technology providers
Industry initiatives¶
GS1 Digital Link¶
GS1 is the primary identifier standard for DPPs. Their Digital Link standard allows:
- Encoding GTINs and serial numbers in QR codes
- Resolving product identifiers to DPP endpoints
- Interoperability across sectors and countries
ECLASS / ETIM¶
Product classification standards used alongside DPPs for technical product data, especially in construction and electronics.
Technology providers¶
Several companies offer DPP-as-a-service platforms:
- SAP — integrated DPP module in SAP S/4HANA
- Spherity — decentralized identity and DPP platform
- Circulor — supply chain traceability and DPP
- iPoint — product compliance and DPP management
- R3 (Corda) — blockchain-based DPP infrastructure
