The German automotive industry supports the establishment of Digital Product Passports (DPP) and promotes its advantages for the industry and other stakeholders. However, we see a number of key issues which may lead to risks for the implementation of Digital Product Passports. Especially, the implementation of a digital battery passport, as initially proposed by EU regulations to precede other DPPs, presents unique challenges from a technological and legal perspective. This paper therefore lists the major issues we see for the implementation of DPP in general and the digital battery passport more specifically. Building on the issues identifies we then propose political actions to be taken.
