Our aim with this series of publications is to provide you with guidance and an overview of the latest developments in the field of construction products at national and international level. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first white paper &#8220;Digitally networked construction product data as the basis for circularity&#8221;, we examined the legal and regulatory framework conditions &#8211; such as the European Green Deal &#8211; and their impact on the construction and real estate industry. It became clear how important the harmonization of data and the use of uniform standards are in order to fully exploit the potential of digitalization in the construction industry. In this white paper, the focus is on the provision and interoperability of construction product data, which plays an indispensable role in the successful digitalization of the construction industry.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The integration of digital technologies and networked building product data is the key to creating a circular economy. This white paper outlines the requirements and solutions needed to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry while increasing efficiency and sustainability. Because only through consistent digitalization and networking of building product data can we ensure transparency and traceability along the entire life cycle of a building.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The economy is facing the challenge of providing and processing more and more product data. Customers are demanding comprehensive information about their products, supply chains and business practices. Competition in the construction industry is evolving from a price competition to a quality competition in which environmental and social standards are upheld and the value of investments is assessed along the life cycle.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with experts from the construction industry and buildingSMART International, the European Union has developed the concept of a DPP, which has been incorporated into the revised Construction Products Act (newCPR). The aim of the DPP is to make data available via shared &#8220;data dictionaries&#8221; so that it can not only be read by people, but also assigned to the building model in the planning stage and processed by algorithms. A strategic approach is important in order to introduce the DPP in Switzerland efficiently, economically and functionally.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We would like to thank all the experts who contributed to the creation of this white paper. Their commitment and expertise are invaluable. Together, we can master the challenges of the future and pave the way for a sustainable, innovative and resource-efficient construction industry. Your active participation and interest are the driving force behind successfully implementing the digital transformation and leading the construction industry into a greener future.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s take this path together and fully exploit the potential of digitalization. Let&#8217;s seize the opportunity to make a positive contribution to environmental protection and increased efficiency in the construction industry through innovative technologies and networked data. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Birgitta Schock<\/strong><br\/>Member of the Federal Commission for Construction Products (BauPK)<br\/>Chairwoman Bauen digital I buildingSMART Switzerland<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Copyright<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This document is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License as Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further information is available at: <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/4.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DPP_Cha13_Fig34.png\" alt=\"Creative Commons\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6458,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","_is_vendor_doc":"0","footnotes":""},"doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-6459","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.3 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dear Readers We are pleased to present the white paper &quot;Digital Product Passport (DPP) for building products&quot; as a further publication from Bauen digital I buildingSMART Switzerland.
