While the EU DPP Regulation (EU 2024/1781) no longer directly applies to the UK, any business placing in-scope goods on the EU market must comply with it, product group by product group. The first obligation is for EV, LMT and industrial batteries above 2 kWh, from 18 February 2027. No other product group has an adopted act yet.
That includes UK-based exporters, distributors, and e-commerce sellers.
Even if your operations are in Britain, your products will be treated as imports under EU law.
Keeping product records in one place now puts your data, traceability and documentation in order before obligations reach your products.
The Department for Business and Trade ran a call for evidence on digital product records. It was published on 27 July 2026 and closed on 21 September 2026. For Great Britain, the UK government "has not yet determined its approach". EU DPP requirements apply in Northern Ireland under the Windsor Framework. The call for evidence is on GOV.UK.
TraceID's Traced module holds product records, certificates and batch data in one place. Traced does not yet check a passport's fields against the regulation, because the rules for iron, steel and aluminium are still being finalised.
