Digital product record systems, such as the EU DPP, are intended to store product information in a way that is easily accessible to those who need it.

DPRs look set to form an increasingly significant component of the regulatory landscape for goods across the globe. They have the potential to streamline administrative processes for businesses, and facilitate improved transparency for consumers, with respect to product information and sustainability.

This call for evidence is predominantly focused on the merits of introducing DPR architecture, particularly the underpinning framework for providing product information digitally. This is distinct from individual product information requirements for specific sectors that may be provided through DPRs, which will likely vary and evolve over time.

The government is considering product-specific DPR requirements in more targeted engagements, including surveys and consultations on:

• batteries
• construction products
• toys
• low carbon industrial products

They are inviting views on DPRs in general, the impacts of existing DPR policy (for example, on businesses selling into the EU and in Northern Ireland), and what the UK should consider when developing domestic policy on DPRs for goods.
