An open dataset of the field-level requirements for EU Digital Product Passports, published as 12 plain-JSON category templates (battery, textile, electronics, construction, iron & steel, chemicals, packaging, furniture, tyres, jewellery, toys, FMCG). Every one of the 913 fields carries its data type, validation rules, 24 EU-language labels, and a structured citation to the instrument and provision that governs it (a 34-entry CELEX registry plus a canonical unit registry). 343 fields are required by an instrument currently in force; 187 are marked as anticipated under a named future instrument, so consumers can distinguish today’s legal obligations from expected ones.
The data is deliberately format-neutral: no runtime, no framework, no dependency on any hosted service or dataspace — a consumer can read the JSON directly or validate it against the bundled JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12). It is designed to be a citable reference for anyone implementing a DPP, and it interoperates with the semantic/VC layers in the catalogue rather than replacing them. Aligned with the EU DPP framework (ESPR 2024/1781 and the category instruments); not an official EU artefact and not legal advice.
