Recital 41

(41) To ensure that the digital product passport is flexible, agile and market-driven and evolves in line with business models, markets and innovation, it should be based on a decentralised data system and be set up and managed by economic operators. However, for enforcement and monitoring purposes, it is necessary that competent national authorities and the Commission have direct access to a record of all unique identifiers linked to products placed on the market or put into service. To that end, the Commission should set up and manage a digital product passport registry to store such data (the ‘registry’). Where needed to further facilitate enforcement, the Commission should, where appropriate, specify other data included in the digital product passport that need to be stored in the registry.
