Not yet. The EU’s Ecodesign Regulation tells the European Commission to set up a public website where people can search and compare Digital Product Passport (DPP) data. As of October 2026, it does not exist and has no launch date. It is also not the same thing as the EU passport registry, which is already live but closed to the public.
What will the portal do?
Let anyone search for and compare product information held in passports, such as a shopper comparing two products or an authority looking across a product group. Each user will only see what their access rights allow; see who can access passport data. The regulation sets no deadline for it. The Commission’s FAQ says only that it is “planned for launch in the coming years”.
How is it different from the EU registry?
| Web portal | EU registry | |
|---|---|---|
| Who uses it | Anyone, within their access rights | Businesses, the Commission and authorities, not the public |
| What it holds | Passport information to search and compare | Identifiers, commodity codes and who registered what |
| Status | Not set up | Live since 20 July 2026, but not yet accepting passport registrations |
Neither one holds the passport itself, which stays with the business or its DPP service provider. More on the registry.
Is the Commission’s data dictionary the portal?
No. The registry rules also require the Commission to keep a free online repository where anyone can look up the data definitions and structures passports use. It holds definitions, not product data.
How can people see a passport today?
By scanning the QR code or other data carrier on the product, once the product has a passport. No product group under the Ecodesign Regulation has a passport duty yet; see which products come first.
Where this comes from: Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Articles 11, 13 and 14; Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1778, Article 12; Commission DPP FAQ.
