ESPR · metals and components

Prepare steel, aluminium and component DPP architecture before the requirements become operational.

NexusDpp organises identity, materials, origin, recycled content, suppliers, evidence, environmental data and lifecycle in a model that can be updated when product-specific acts are adopted.

EU roadmap: iron and steel in Q4 2026; aluminium in Q3–Q4 2027

The European Commission indicates these windows for adoption of sector-specific ESPR acts. They are roadmap dates for acts, not automatic business compliance dates: following adoption of ESPR delegated acts, economic operators are expected to have a transition period of at least 18 months.

Data readiness

Useful preparation starts before the delegated act.

Companies can already map sources, assign ownership and test identity and supply-chain workflows without inventing mandatory fields that have not yet been legally defined.

Materials and composition

Grade, alloy, components, mass, technical specifications and bill-of-materials links.

Origin and supply chain

Suppliers, sites, transformations, lots and provenance of declared information.

Recycled content and circularity

Data and evidence for recycled content, recoverability and end-of-life scenarios when required.

Evidence

Certificates, reports, declarations and documents connected to the data they support.

Industrial components

Links between material, component, finished product and supply-chain actors.

Identity and data carriers

Identifiers, QR/NFC, APIs and the DPP Registry separated from the product data set.

Prudent preparation

Prepare the architecture without inventing the mandatory data set.

Until sector acts are adopted, NexusDpp clearly separates published requirements from roadmap assumptions. A pilot can make sources, roles and systems ready while keeping fields and rules configurable.

  • Map existing data in ERP, PLM, MES and supplier documents.
  • Structured supplier onboarding and data requests.
  • Versioned data sets and rules for future acts.
  • Interoperability with identifiers, data carriers and the EU DPP Registry.

Metals pilot

Start from one real component and its documentary supply chain.

The pilot can map materials, BOMs, suppliers, evidence, identifiers and available systems, creating a foundation that can be updated when the sector-specific act defines the final data set.
