What is ESPR and which regulation does it come from?

ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) provides a comprehensive framework to reduce the environmental impact of products in the EU. Its main framework is regulated by Regulation (EU) 2024/1781. Key components of ESPR: • Ecodesign requirements: Durability, reparability, recyclability criteria • DPP (Digital Product Passport): Digital format sharing of product information • Labeling and information: Consumer information requirements • Traceability: Product tracking throughout the supply chain • Delegated acts: Sector-specific detailed requirements

Which products are in ESPR scope?

ESPR has an expanding scope on a sector-by-sector basis through delegated acts. Priority product groups in the initial phase: • Electronic products and IT equipment • Textile products • Furniture • Iron & steel and aluminum products • Construction materials • Other carbon-intensive products Pier Compliance screens your portfolio for ESPR scope and establishes an early warning system with delegated acts tracking.

DPP (Digital Product Passport) data model and technical preparation

DPP is a critical component of ESPR. It requires digital format sharing of product information. Pier Compliance approach: • DPP data model setup (product category-based) • Data collection and verification processes • Technical preparation and system integration • DPP platform compliance and testing processes • Continuous updates and version management

Ecodesign requirements: Durability, reparability, recyclability

ESPR establishes ecodesign criteria to improve the environmental performance of products: • Durability: Extending product lifetime • Reparability: Ease of repair and spare parts accessibility • Recyclability: Material recovery and circularity • Performance criteria: Energy efficiency, resource use Pier Compliance evaluates your product portfolio against ecodesign criteria and prepares a compliance roadmap.

Labeling, information and traceability

ESPR introduces consumer information and traceability requirements: • Labeling: Sustainability information on product labels • Information: Consumer information materials • Traceability: Product tracking throughout the supply chain • Digital information: QR code and digital platform integration Pier Compliance aligns your labeling and information processes with ESPR requirements.

Compliance file and audit readiness

ESPR compliance requires comprehensive documentation and audit readiness: • Compliance file preparation • Technical documentation and evidence package • Audit readiness and audit-ready format • Continuous updates and revision management Pier Compliance manages your ESPR compliance in an auditable and traceable manner.
