  Digital product passports (DPPs) are persistent and interoperable digital records that support transparency and regulatory compliance throughout a product’s lifecycle. They are mandated by EU regulations. DPP systems that are compliant with regulations will require trustworthy governance with clear accountability, enforceable policies, and verifiable and immutable records. This work proposes a DPP governance framework by deriving requirements from the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and the Batteries Regulation. It implements six roles, three visibility tiers, five types of enforceable controls, and verified traceability. As a proof of concept, it is applied to the DPP for vanadium redox flow batteries.
