“European Commission opens call for evidence on certification schemes for Digital Product Passport service providers”

The Commission launched a public consultation on 9 April 2025 covering the need for a certification scheme for Digital Product Passport service providers, with feedback due via the Have Your Say Portal by 1 July 2025. The source calls it a "public consultation," not a "call for evidence" — a distinct instrument in the Commission's Have Your Say process — and certification is only one of two topics, alongside how data should be stored and managed.
