The short answer
No. There is no requirement in the law of Great Britain for a construction product to carry a digital product passport. There is no published UK schema, no government registry or API, and no legal duty to produce one.
Anyone telling you that your products must have a UK digital product passport is describing an EU instrument, or describing a proposal as though it were settled.
Where the term comes from
The digital product passport is an EU construct. Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, provides the general framework, and the Commission's digital product passport registry went live on 20 July 2026 with a test environment, a user interface and an API.
Regulation (EU) 2024/3110, the EU's replacement construction products regulation, creates a construction digital product passport in Articles 75 to 79. Article 75 requires the Commission to establish the system by delegated act; Article 76 lists what a passport must contain, starting with the declaration of performance and conformity, and going on to general product information, instructions for use and safety information, technical documentation, the label and unique identifiers. In the EU that is LAW, applying from 8 January 2026 with long transitional arrangements.
What the UK has actually said
The Construction Products Reform White Paper, published on 25 February 2026, says product information must be made available digitally and that the government will work with industry to develop digital standards. It describes the EU digital product passport as part of the EU regime rather than the UK one. That is a consultation document, not a rule.
The White Paper and the accompanying general safety requirement consultation both point towards a unique product identifier and a data carrier such as a QR code. We record that as EXPECTED: it is a reasonable reading of official signals, with no legal duty, no mandated scheme and no date behind it.
Why the question keeps reaching UK manufacturers
Northern Ireland, exports and specifiers. EU construction-product rules apply in Northern Ireland under the Windsor Framework, so an EU instrument is not automatically irrelevant to a UK manufacturer. If you place products on the EU market, EU rules apply to those products wherever you make them. And specifiers read the same trade press you do, and are already asking for structured product data in tenders.
What a manufacturer can sensibly do now
Structure the underlying data. Every scheme proposed anywhere needs the same substrate: a stable product identity, a current version, the performance you declare, the evidence behind each declared value, and the configuration each piece of evidence covers.
That work is useful whatever happens next, because it is the same work you already need in order to answer a customer, a certification body or an enforcement officer. Building it around a speculative schema would be a mistake; building it around your own product structure is not.
