Intermediate2h 22m # EU ESPR & Digital Product Passport Course Prepare electronics for the EU ESPR and Digital Product Passport: Regulation 2024/1781 scope, the working plan, durability, repairability and DPP data. Assuming "no delegated act yet" means "nothing to do yet," relying on a supplier's unverified sustainability claim instead of traceable material data, or discovering a shipment held at customs because a Digital Product Passport was never built are the ordinary, recurring ways electronics companies lose months — or lose market access outright — under the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. None of this is exotic. It's a sequencing and data problem, and it's fixable with the right framework applied from early product design onward, not bolted on right before a delegated act lands. This course teaches Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 and the Digital Product Passport from first principles to complete practical compliance: the legal framework that replaced the old Ecodesign Directive and how delegated acts actually get their teeth, scope and the first 2025-2030 Ecodesign Working Plan, performance requirements including durability, reliability, reusability, upgradability, repairability, recycled content, recyclability, and carbon footprint, substances of concern and how they relate to RoHS and REACH, and the Digital Product Passport in real depth — its data carrier, unique identifiers, the EU registry, every data category it contains, and its tiered access model. You'll cover every economic operator role, conformity assessment and CE marking, the smartphone and tablet ecodesign regulation already in force since June 2025, ecodesign rules for servers and enterprise ICT hardware, the Right to Repair Directive, the unsold consumer products destruction ban and disclosure obligations, green public procurement, enforcement through market surveillance and customs controls, and how this framework compares to circularity regulation in France, the United States, and China. Every module ends with a knowledge check, and the closing modules walk a full compliance program roadmap, a complete mid-range tablet compliance walkthrough end to end, two contrasting case studies, and your own compliance action plan and calendar. Common failure patterns — miscategorized scope, unverified supplier claims, deadlines treated as future problems — are covered as they occur throughout the course, not just listed once at the end. Built on Krono's regulatory database and current 2026 guidance on the first Ecodesign Working Plan, the unsold goods destruction ban now live for large enterprises, and the Digital Product Passport registry infrastructure launched in 2026 ahead of its first mandatory product category. This course contains the use of artificial intelligence for asthetic purposes. * Includes the ebook edition, free * 8 downloadable resources included ## What you'll learn * Build a Digital Product Passport correctly — data carrier, identifiers, registry resolution, and tiered access * Assign every economic operator role correctly and complete conformity assessment and CE marking * Apply the smartphone and tablet ecodesign regulation already in force, and the rules for servers and ICT hardware * Meet repairability, unsold goods disclosure, and green public procurement obligations with confidence * Build your own compliance program, avoid the recurring failure patterns, and create your compliance action plan ## Requirements * ·No prior EU regulatory experience required — the course starts from first principles * ·Some familiarity with electronics hardware development, sourcing, or compliance is helpful but not essential * ·Electronics manufacturers, OEMs, compliance and sustainability leads, and importers will all benefit $149.00 One-time purchase · Lifetime access · No subscription Less than one hour with a compliance consultant.
