Fehlende Digitale Produktpässe (DPP) – Marktausschluss und Kundenbußgelder
Definition
Digital Product Passport (DPP) regulation requires all industrial valves sold in EU to carry traceable carbon/recycling/material data. Engineering tolerance specs must include material composition, source, and end-of-life recycling pathway. Companies without automated DPP-spec workflows face: (a) product market ban, (b) customer penalties (€5,000–€50,000 per SKU), (c) Behördenrügen from NANDO database audits.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €5,000–€50,000 per non-compliant SKU (customer penalties + market ban) + opportunity cost of lost EU sales (est. €50,000–€500,000/year for mid-market vendors)
- Frequency: Per product SKU; escalates at market entry or Behörden inspection
- Root Cause: Engineering tolerance specs created without DPP checklist. Material sourcing data not linked to design docs. No automated QR-code generation for valve units.
