EU compliance is not paperwork.
It is evidence.
Regulatory System of Record for Digital Product Passports (ESPR).
Operational systems change. Regulations require you to prove the past. UCVreg freezes the published state and proves it years later.
What changed in the EU?
The European Union is enacting a new generation of product laws—most notably the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). These laws mandate that manufacturers and importers provide granular, verifiable data for every product placed on the market.
UCVreg is the compliance platform that publishes, seals, and resolves these regulatory records.
Structured Data
ESPR mandates granular, machine-readable product data, not static PDFs.
Audit Latency
Authorities can demand proof of compliance years after the product has left your warehouse.
Public Access
Data must be resolvable by consumers and recyclers via persistent QR codes.
When Does This Affect You?
EU Green Deal rules are not a single deadline. They roll out by product category and company size — and the window to prepare is closing.
Deforestation Regulation Enforced
Mandatory for large and medium operators. GPS plot coordinates and Due Diligence Statement (DDS) required for timber, leather, rubber, coffee, cocoa, soy, palm oil, and cattle.
Iron, Steel & Aluminium — Rules Adopted
Delegated acts published. Infrastructure for carbon footprint, material composition, and manufacturer ID must be in place.
Battery Passport Mandatory
Carbon footprint, recycled content, and supply-chain traceability must be written into the digital passport for EV and industrial batteries (>2 kWh).
EUDR Expands to SMEs
Exemption period ends for micro and small enterprises. EUDR compliance and system declarations become mandatory.
Textile Rules & Steel Passports
Textile delegated acts adopted with repairability scoring infrastructure. Mid-2028: carbon footprint and material origin passports mandatory for steel entering the EU.
Textile Enforcement & Furniture DPP
Fiber origin, chemical tracking, and recyclability data mandatory. Ban on destroying unsold products. Furniture DPP merges EUDR wood/leather data with disassembly guides.
Electronics & ICT Passports
Part traceability, rare earth elements, and hazardous substance declarations must be written into the digital passport.
Tyres & Rubber Integration
Tire wear and durability metrics merged with EUDR deforestation analysis in a single digital passport.
Why start now?
Supply-chain preparation takes 12–18 months. If your category enters enforcement in 2027, preparation must start now.
What Is a "Delegated Act"?
Under ESPR, the European Commission does not regulate all products at once. Instead, it publishes product-specific rules called "Delegated Acts." This means compliance is industry-specific. The data requirements for a battery are fundamentally different from those for a textile product.
Each Delegated Act defines:
- Which products are in scope (e.g. HS codes).
- What specific data attributes must be in the Digital Product Passport.
- What format the data must follow (semantics and syntax).
- What level of public access is required for each attribute.
In simple terms: The regulation sets the framework. Delegated Acts define the technical details for your specific industry.
What Is "Due Diligence" Under EUDR?
EUDR requires companies to prove that certain commodities are not linked to deforestation. This is not a passive checkbox exercise. It involves identifying the exact origin of raw materials, mapping geolocation of production plots, assessing deforestation risk, and submitting a Due Diligence Statement (DDS).
Operators must collect geographic coordinates of the plots of land where the relevant commodities were produced. This data must be conclusive and verifiable.
Note: A Due Diligence Statement is not a PDF declaration. It must be supported by traceable, structured supply-chain data that can be re-validated during inspection.
Do We Fall Under These Rules?
A quick check for relevance.
You Likely DO If:
- ✓ You manufacture physical goods sold in the EU
- ✓ You import products under your own brand
- ✓ You place regulated commodities on the EU market
- ✓ You export into EU distribution channels
You Likely DO NOT If:
- × You sell purely digital services
- × You operate as a dropshipper without product liability
The 2028 Inspection Request.
It is 2028. A shipment arrives in Rotterdam. A customs authority—or a key customer—scans a batch produced in 2025.
"Show us the original issuance state for Batch #9921-A. Prove the battery supplier was compliant *at that time*."
Your ERP has updated that supplier record three times since then. The history is overwritten. You cannot prove it. The shipment is held. Integrity failures do not result in warnings. They result in shipment disruption.
Your ERP was built to update.
Regulation asks you to prove the past.

Overwrote the past
Spreadsheet
Mapping in tabs

Evidence elsewhere
Freeze, version, and prove.
We act as the immutable ledger for your compliance data. We ingest the fluid mess of operations and turn it into solid, defensible regulatory artifacts.
Immutable Snapshots
Published state is sealed and cannot be altered.
Versioned Passports
v1.0 and v2.0 coexist. History is preserved.
Event Journal
Lifecycle events are appended, never rewritten.
Public Verification
QR codes resolve to the exact version for that batch.
How It Works
Ingest
Pull structured data from ERP, PLM, or Excel via API.
Validate
Check against strict ESPR/DPP regulatory schemas automatically.
Publish
Freeze the state. Generate snapshot. Anchor with SHA-256 hash.
Verify
Consumers scan QRs. Regulators verify integrity via public key.
What We Guarantee
- Tamper Detection: Any change to a sealed record breaks the hash.
- Verifiability: Authenticity can be proven mathematically without us.
- Retention: Architected for 10+ year data availability.
Responsibility Boundaries
We guarantee integrity, not the factual accuracy of your inputs.
We secure the vault; you ensure the truth of what you put inside.
Built for EU Market Access.
Not for dropshippers or purely digital services.
Regulatory data must outlive operational systems.
Don't let a software update become a compliance violation. Secure your history.
