One product, traceable information and a clear source for each statement. This sample passport shows how product data comes together – and what to prepare for your own passport.
Fictional example for explanation. The product, company and evidence are invented. This is not a customer project or proof of meeting product-specific requirements.

Turn the example into your data inventory
The CSV file maps sample information to its source, an owner and an intended audience. Replace the example rows with your own data and flag missing evidence. This is a preparation worksheet, not a directly importable SimpleDPP template or a complete list of legally required fields.
Public information and restricted evidence serve different purposes. The legally required access and your operational permissions need to be considered together for your project.
Public information
For example, care and repair instructions intended for this view, together with suitable product information.
Authorised specialist groups
Depending on the legislation and role, further documents may be intended for authorities, repairers or recyclers.
Internal working data
Purchasing terms, drafts and internal communications do not automatically belong in a public passport view.
Hiding a field on screen would not provide access control. In a real system, restricted content must be protected against unauthorised retrieval when it is served.
From a sample passport to your own product data
SimpleDPP lets you manage product passports and make information available. Start with one product and establish its data sources, owners and the features you need.
Prepare your data
Choose one product, a data level and the available documents. Record missing information and who is responsible for it.
Structure it in SimpleDPP
Enter product data or use the import supported by your plan. Discuss your data structure and specific integrations in a personal demo.
Review access and maintenance
Review the passport view, labelling and access with the people involved. Agree who checks changes and keeps the data current.
