Reference documentation.

Operator-facing documentation for EU Digital Passport Processor — the regulated-reporting middle layer that sits between an economic operator's internal systems and the EU EES registry. Documents the data model (Annex XIII), the submission lifecycle, the audit-evidence record, the REST API, and the legal positioning. Maintained alongside the platform.

§01 Statutory positioning

CELEX 32024R1781 · Art. 2(32)

'Digital Product Passport service provider' means a natural or legal person authorised by an economic operator to process digital product passport information for the purposes of making it available to economic operators, customers, consumers, users and other relevant actors.

ESPR — Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, Article 2(32) · Source: eur-lex.europa.eu/CELEX:32024R1781

EU Digital Passport Processor operates under this statutory category. It is the economic operator who places the product on the EU market and who carries the regulatory obligation; this platform processes passport data on the operator's authorised instruction.

§04 Where the obligation sits

Economic operator · Article 2 definitions

The regulatory obligation rests with the economic operator — the manufacturer, importer, authorised representative, or distributor who places the product on the EU market. EU Digital Passport Processor processes passport data on the operator's authorised instruction; it does not assume the operator's obligation. Operators retain accountability for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of submitted data, in line with the wording used by national competent authorities in adjacent reporting regimes.
