## Regulation Summary
ESPR (Regulation EU 2024/1781) is the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. It entered into force on 18 July 2024 and replaces the Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC) for most product categories. ESPR introduces mandatory Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for all regulated products, requiring manufacturers to provide machine-readable product data accessible via a QR code or NFC tag. The first ESPR delegated acts are expected for batteries and electronics by 2026. Non-EU manufacturers must appoint an EU Authorised Representative. Penalties for non-compliance can reach 4% of annual EU turnover.

## Key Definitions
Digital Product Passport (DPP): A structured set of product data, accessible via a data carrier (QR code or NFC tag) on the physical product, containing information about the product's materials, components, repairability, recyclability, carbon footprint, and supply chain. Required under ESPR for all regulated product categories.
Delegated Act: A legislative act adopted by the EU Commission under the authority granted by ESPR. Each delegated act specifies the ecodesign requirements and DPP data requirements for a specific product category.
Conformity Assessment: The procedure by which a manufacturer demonstrates that a product meets the requirements of an applicable ESPR delegated act. Most ESPR products use internal production control (Annex VI) or third-party assessment by a notified body (Annex VII).
CE Marking: The marking that a manufacturer affixes to a product to declare that it meets all applicable EU regulatory requirements, including ESPR. The CE marking must be affixed before a product can be placed on the EU market.
Authorised Representative: A natural or legal person established in the EU who is authorised by a non-EU manufacturer to act on their behalf for ESPR compliance purposes.
Market Surveillance Authority (MSA): A national authority responsible for verifying that products placed on the EU market comply with applicable regulations, including ESPR.
GS1 Digital Link: The international standard for encoding product identifiers in URLs, used as the basis for ESPR DPP data carrier URLs.
Notified Body: A third-party conformity assessment body that has been officially designated by an EU member state to carry out conformity assessment procedures.

## Key Deadlines
18 July 2024: ESPR entered into force.
19 July 2026: EU product database (EPREL) DPP module launches. First delegated acts expected.
2026-2027: First ESPR delegated acts for batteries and electronics expected to be published.
2027-2028: Delegated acts for textiles, furniture, and construction products expected.
2030: Most ESPR product categories expected to be covered by delegated acts.
