Chapter 5 – DPP access

The DPP is accessed via an ID on a data record that contains a public permalink on the ^Internet12 (example: Creabeton AG – https://id.gs1.ch/01/07649992269984). A permalink is a permanent identifier in the form of a URL to a website. The permalink can refer to a resolver, more precisely a redirection service that redirects to the currently valid target page with the DPP or – if this is not available – to the back-up copy of the DPP. A simple URL is therefore not sufficient, as it is not permanent or stable.

Currently, only a QR code with a permalink fulfills these requirements. It can be assumed that NFC, DataMatrix and other data carriers will also meet these requirements in the future. The requirements for this data carrier may vary depending on the product family. For example, the ESPR states that it must be based on open standards and must not lead to vendor lock-in. The data carrier is not clearly specified in the newCPR. Other regulations, such as the revised labeling regulations in the chemicals sector, are much more explicit in this case and set out clear rules.

Access to the DPP is regulated as follows for chemicals or cleaning agents, for example:

• without fee
• without the need to register, install or download an application or enter a password
• with a maximum of two clicks
• with widely used mobile devices
• using digital technologies that are widely available and compatible with all major operating systems and browsers

Example:

• After purchasing a mobile phone/tablet, it should be possible to access the DPP with two clicks via the camera after commissioning without installing additional apps.

Service providers already meet these requirements and offer corresponding services.

A password-protected jump to further information that goes beyond the legal minimum can be integrated into the DPP at any time. This simplifies the integration of customers into the supplier’s processes and centralizes them via a single access point.
