Detergent DPP from 23 September 2029
Regulation (EU) 2026/405 introduces a model-level Digital Product Passport for detergents and end-user surfactants. It is not just a QR code: formulation data, UFI, physical labels, digital labels, refill and technical documentation all need to line up.
The obligation is confirmed and the application date is known.
Regulation (EU) 2026/405 entered into force on 22 March 2026 and creates a DPP obligation for detergents and end-user surfactants.
The main DPP, label and refill obligations start applying from 23 September 2029.
A detergent DPP must not be used for tracking or usage analytics beyond what is necessary to provide the online information.
What is a detergent DPP?
A detergent Digital Product Passport is a structured model-level product record linked to a data carrier such as a QR code. It contains Annex VI data under Regulation 2026/405, including model identification, operators, compliance statements, ingredients, intentionally added substances, micro-organism information, DPP service-provider references and label links.
Detergents have their own sector DPP regime
This is a standalone obligation, not a classic ESPR delegated act. The practical task is aligning the physical label, digital layer and formulation data.
Detergents and end-user surfactants
- covers consumer, industrial and institutional detergents
- covers surfactants offered directly to end users
- the narrower carve-out concerns upstream B2B raw materials
The minimum dataset is already described
- Annex VI defines the DPP layer
- Annex V keeps part of the information on the physical label
- UFI, ingredients and refill information must remain consistent
The DPP is not a marketing channel
- no usage tracking beyond what is necessary to show online information
- no consumer personal data in the passport without explicit consent
- the platform must be able to disable analytics for this category
The safest starting point is one detergent model, a complete label dataset and a demo DPP published without usage tracking.
Key dates for detergent DPP
OriginPass shows the short operational timeline; InfoDPP keeps the detailed regulatory version.
- Confirmed
Detergents Regulation applies
Regulation (EU) 2026/405 entered into force and replaces the old detergents regime, with the main obligations applying in 2029.
- Confirmed
Digital-labelling rules to be specified
The Commission must adopt delegated acts on digital-label rules, alternative access and the IT solutions that may be used.
- Confirmed
DPP, label and refill regime start applying
Detergents and end-user surfactants need a model-level DPP, data carrier and aligned physical and digital label architecture.
- Confirmed
Additional market-availability window ends
Products made available under the old regime during the additional transition may remain available only until this date.
Which data should you prepare first?
Detergents combine regulatory, formulation and label data. The DPP must be readable for the consumer, but based on controlled compliance data.
Core DPP layer
The first record should gather the fields that most often block publication.
- trade name, model identifier and packaging image
- manufacturer, importer or authorised representative
- UFI, ingredients, preservatives and fragrance allergens
- responsibility statement and compliance statement
Layers to connect with systems
Implementation does not end at a public passport page.
- physical and digital label data
- refill, distance selling and alternative access routes
- technical documentation and data for authorities or poison centres
- privacy mode with scan reports disabled for detergents
OriginPass lets you start with a demo model and extend it with documents, translations and a stable QR address.
Who should prepare a detergent DPP
The obligation reaches the full chain placing detergents and surfactants on the EU market.
Detergent manufacturers
Liquids, powders, capsules, dishwasher detergents and cleaning products need one aligned label and DPP layer.
Industrial and institutional detergents
They remain in scope, even where some ingredient disclosure can move through the safety-data-sheet route.
Importers and private labels
They need to verify producer data, operators, labelling and passport availability before EU sales.
Refill and e-commerce
Refill stations and distance sales need data available before purchase and the correct data carrier.
How OriginPass supports detergents
We build the passport around the product model, documents and translations, with a privacy mode matched to detergent restrictions.
Detergent template
Fields based on Annex VI: identity, operators, compliance, composition, micro-organisms and DPP infrastructure.
QR and stable address
The data carrier opens the current passport without turning detergents into an analytics channel.
Change history
Each publication and correction creates a version trail ready for inspection and export.
Documents and label
Connect the public DPP with documents, label data and the refill or online-sales layer.
EU languages
Market data and descriptions can be available in the languages required for sales and in the remaining EU languages.
Minimal scan mode
For detergents, scan reports are disabled so the passport does not become a usage-tracking tool.
Four steps to a detergent DPP pilot
Start with one model and test the data before the obligation starts applying.
- 01
Choose one model
Prefer a product with a typical formula, label and normal sales channel.
- 02
Collect label data
UFI, ingredients, allergens, preservatives, dosage, manufacturer data and packaging.
- 03
Publish the DPP
Publish the model passport and test QR, languages and the mobile view.
- 04
Close the process
Define who approves changes, documents and new passport versions.
In the first rollout round you can start free with a pilot model and expand to more variants later.

Detergent DPP: frequently asked questions
When does the detergent DPP become mandatory?
The main DPP, label and refill obligations start applying from 23 September 2029.
Does the DPP replace the physical label?
Not fully. The detergents regulation creates a dual-layer model: some information remains physically available, while some may connect to the digital label and passport.
Can I measure detergent scans?
For detergents, you should use a no-usage-analytics mode. The passport provides online information; it should not profile consumers.
Are industrial detergents in scope?
Yes, they remain in scope. Selected ingredient disclosures may, in defined cases, use the safety-data-sheet route.
Does OriginPass have a detergent demo?
Yes. The sample-passport section on this page shows a published detergent golden DPP on OriginPass infrastructure.
