Which industries will follow next is not yet exactly clear. The exact technical details of the DPP are also expected later this year. But there is no doubt that it is coming.

Because with a well-designed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecomwise.com\/en\/ecommerce-pim-systeem\/\">PIM system<\/a> (Product Information Management) you can intelligently collect, manage and access all this information.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>DPP and PIM: a golden combination<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much of the data that will end up in a Digital Product Passport is ideally already collected in your PIM. Think of product specifications, supplier information, certificates, maintenance instructions or technical documents.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a solid PIM structure, you will soon be able to easily compile a complete digital passport for each product.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Some examples of data you can already include in your PIM:<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Origin information of raw materials<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certificates and quality marks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recycling instructions or return policy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manuals and documentation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product IDs and serial numbers<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By starting to structure this data now, you will ensure that you are not behind the times later.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Why start now?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the exact guidelines are not yet final, it is smart to prepare now.
