The topic of the Digital Product Passport and the Ecodesign Directive in general have a major influence on the mechanical and plant engineering industry. Since the Digital Product Passport is a cross-sector system and the mechanical engineering industry is active in a wide range of economic sectors, it is imperative that the mechanical engineering industry develop a clear and coordinated position in the form of written position papers for the controversial aspects of the topic that already exist and those that may arise in the future.
To develop and coordinate such positions, it is imperative to closely involve the members of the VDMA and thus their experience and expertise in the development of such position papers.
The sub-working group SWG Digital Product Pass – DPP – Positions focuses on the needs of the mechanical and plant engineering industry and includes the following main tasks:
- Creation of position papers in connection with the Digital Product Passport
- Coordination with the cross-sectional department of technology policy and standardization as well as environment and sustainability to ensure that all relevant aspects of technology, standardization, and environmental and sustainability considerations are taken into account
- Coordination with the VDMA trade associations to ensure that specific considerations and perspectives are taken into account
The SWG Digital Product Passport – DPP – Positions is the technical working committee for all publications that are to be published as VDMA positions and statements. The positions and publications are available to both the public and VDMA members. In order to implement them efficiently and quickly, such positions are to be implemented by smaller working groups.
The SWG Digital Product Passport – DPP – Position Paper is a sub-working group of:
WG Digital Product Passport – DPP – Regulation and Standardization
If you are interested in joining this working group or the central working group and would like to participate in the various projects, please feel free to contact the above contact at any time.
