Recital 35

(35) In order to not unnecessarily delay the setting of ecodesign requirements other than those concerning the digital product passport or to ensure that digital product passports can be effectively implemented, the Commission should be allowed to exempt product groups from the digital product passport requirements where technical specifications are not available in relation to the essential requirements for the technical design and operation of the digital product passport. Similarly, in order to prevent an unnecessary administrative burden for economic operators, the Commission should be allowed to exempt product groups from the digital product passport requirements in the event that other Union law already includes a system for the digital provision of product information allowing actors along the value chain to access relevant product information and facilitating the verification of product compliance by competent national authorities. Those exemptions should be periodically reviewed taking into account further availability of technical specifications.
