Certified Digital Product Passport Implementer
Master end-to-end Digital Product Passport implementation including data modeling, product identity systems, data carriers, passport architecture, and enterprise data governance.
Chapters 1–2 are free. The full course unlocks all 44 chapters, quizzes, practice & final exams, and a verifiable certificate.
What You Will Learn
Data Modeling Fundamentals
Design robust data models for DPP systems, including entities, attributes, relationships, and normalization.
Canonical Data Models & CEDM
Implement canonical data models and the CEDM architecture for cross-system data exchange.
Product Identity Systems
Master GTIN architecture, serialization, UUIDs, GS1 Digital Link, and identifier resolution services.
Data Carriers & Architecture
Implement QR codes, NFC, RFID, and Data Matrix technologies for DPP data access.
Why This Certification Matters
As EU DPP regulations come into effect and global sustainability requirements expand, organizations need professionals who can implement end-to-end Digital Product Passport solutions. This certification provides the technical implementation knowledge required to build production-ready DPP systems.
Technical Implementation
Build production-ready DPP systems with proper data modeling, identity systems, and carrier technologies.
Data Architecture
Design scalable data architectures using canonical models, semantic interoperability, and governance frameworks.
Regulatory Compliance
Ensure DPP implementations meet EU DPP requirements and emerging global regulations.
Course Curriculum
Module 1: DPP & ESPR Foundations
Understand what a Digital Product Passport is, the ESPR regulatory framework, product scope and timelines, ecosystem actors, the DPP Registry, and reference architectures.
Module 2: The EN 182xx Standards Family
Learn the eight EN 182xx standards that specify the EU DPP's technical infrastructure, and how presumption of conformity works.
Module 3: Identifiers — EN 18219
Learn the DPP identifier system: UPI/UOI/UFI, GTIN architecture, serialization, GS1 Digital Link, resolution services, and advanced identity with DIDs and Verifiable Credentials.
Module 4: Data Carriers — EN 18220
Learn the DPP data carriers: selection criteria, QR and Data Matrix with GS1 Digital Link, NFC and RFID, and carrier security and best practices.
Module 5: DPP Data Model — CIRPASS-2 eudpp
Learn the EU DPP data model: data modeling fundamentals, the eudpp core ontology, JSON-LD, JSON Schema, SHACL, and the product/organization/supply-chain/evidence object model.
Module 6: Exchange & APIs — EN 18216/18222
Learn the DPP exchange and API layer: data exchange protocols and content negotiation, the lifecycle API, searchability and discoverability, and integration with ERP, PLM, and SCM.
Module 7: Storage & Persistence — EN 18221
Learn the DPP storage and persistence layer: long-term retention, schema versioning, and data quality, lineage, and validation.
Module 8: Access, Security & Integrity — prEN 18239/18246
Learn the DPP security layer: multi-actor access control, data authentication and integrity, Verifiable Credentials and trust lists, qualified signatures and Registry enrolment, and security governance.
Module 9: Interoperability & Semantics — EN 18223
Learn the DPP semantic layer: ontologies, RDF and RDFS, OWL and SPARQL, data harmonization, and canonical models with CEDM and UPPS.
Module 10: Implementation & Governance
Learn to put the DPP together: implementation planning and architecture design, testing and launch, enterprise data governance, and compliance management.
