DPP Consulting · Switzerland
Switzerland is not an EU member – but anyone who exports or supplies products into the EU must meet the DPP requirements just like an EU manufacturer. The obligations attach to the product in the EU single market, not to the company’s registered office. We make Swiss exporters and suppliers passport-ready – remote and on site. English-speaking teams welcome.
01 — Legal position
The ESPR, the Battery Regulation and the Construction Products Regulation tie their obligations to placing products on the EU single market – not to the company’s registered office. For Swiss companies that means:
In short: the Digital Product Passport is a market-access question for Switzerland’s export economy. The timeline is the same as for EU companies – the battery passport from 18 Feb 2027 leads the way, with textiles, steel, aluminium and further groups to follow.

03 — FAQ
For products placed on the EU market: yes, without restriction. The obligation formally sits with the EU economic operator (e.g. your importer), but in practice with you – because only you hold the product and material data. The EU DPP does not apply to purely Swiss marketing; there is currently no standalone Swiss obligation.
Registration must be done by the EU economic operator with their EORI number. In practice, exporter and importer agree who creates and hosts the passport – often the Swiss manufacturer delivers the data and the importer registers, or the manufacturer handles everything through an EU structure. This role clarification is exactly what our exposure check covers.
Yes, via your customers: their product passports need data from the supply chain – material composition, substances of concern, recycled content, CO2. These requirements land on you contractually, often years before the actual obligation. Those who are delivery-ready early become the preferred supplier.
Yes – we are happy to run workshops and data audits at your offices, while ongoing project work runs efficiently remotely. We quote in CHF or EUR, whichever you prefer.
