Planned
Electronics DPP Requirements
Consumer electronics and ICT equipment will require DPPs under ESPR. Expected enforcement around 2028, closely tied to the Right to Repair Directive.
Product Scope
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Mobile devices | Smartphones, tablets |
| Computing | Laptops, desktops, servers |
| Display | Televisions, monitors |
| Household appliances | Washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers |
| IoT & connected devices | Smart home, wearables |
Expected Data Fields
- Energy efficiency class (EU energy label)
- Repairability score (French repair index model)
- Spare parts availability (duration and pricing)
- Software update commitment (minimum years)
- Critical raw materials (rare earths, cobalt, lithium)
- Recycled content percentage
- Disassembly instructions for recyclers
- Standby power consumption (watts)
- Hazardous substances (RoHS compliance)
Right to Repair Connection
The electronics DPP is closely linked to the EU's Right to Repair Directive (2024). The DPP will serve as the information backbone for repair access: spare parts, repair manuals, and diagnostic software.
Timeline
- 2025-2026 — Delegated act expected
- 2028 — Electronics DPPs likely mandatory
- 2029 — Full enforcement
