Tyres and the Digital Product Passport.
Tyres are included in the first ESPR working plan with an indicative 2027 timeline for adoption of measures.
Data worth organising now
- Tyre model and unique product identifiers
- Material and recycled-content information
- Performance and labelling data already collected
- Manufacturing and supplier records
- End-of-life and recyclability information where required
Preparation workflow
Reuse existing data
Map tyre-labelling and technical data into a reusable source-of-truth rather than maintaining parallel spreadsheets.
Add material data
Prepare structured composition and recycled-content records.
Plan identifier links
Ensure identifiers can connect regulatory, product and future passport information consistently.
Why early preparation matters
When a final product-specific measure arrives, the difficult part is often not generating a QR code. It is locating reliable data across suppliers, engineering, compliance, ERP/PIM systems and product documentation. A reusable product-data model reduces that implementation risk.

Frequently asked questions
Does every tyres product need a DPP today?
Existing tyre rules and future ESPR requirements can overlap. The final delegated act determines whether and how DPP requirements apply.
What should companies prepare now?
Start with clean product identifiers, supplier data ownership, materials/composition, technical and compliance records, and a structure that can be mapped to future product-specific DPP fields.
Is the indicative ESPR timeline a legal deadline?
No. The working-plan timeline is an indicative adoption timeline for measures. The binding obligations and application dates come from the final delegated act or other applicable EU legislation.
