Which Products Get a DPP First in Sweden?

The same product groups get a passport first in Sweden as everywhere else in the Union, because the Digital Product Passport (DPP) comes from an EU Regulation — the ESPR, Regulation (EU) 2024/1781. On current indications, batteries lead the way, followed by textiles and iron and steel as early priorities.

The likely order

• Batteries first, with a passport expected from around 18 February 2027.
• Textiles and iron and steel as early priorities, indicatively from roughly 2027 onwards.
• Further groups in later waves as their delegated acts are adopted.

Why the timing is indicative

The ESPR is a framework. It hands the detail to delegated acts, adopted product group by product group, which decide who needs a passport and what data it must hold. A category is only bound once its act applies, so the dates are indicative planning signals, not fixed Swedish deadlines.

What this means for Swedish sellers

The rules are identical to the rest of the Union; Sweden adds national market surveillance and the expectation of Swedish-language consumer information. If you sell batteries, textiles or steel products, treat these as the areas to prepare for first.

You can follow the emerging schedule with our DPP timeline tool. The order and dates stay indicative until the delegated acts are finalised.
