The EU position
Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 applies from 8 January 2026, with a small set of provisions that applied from 7 January 2025 and Article 92 applying from 8 January 2027. It repeals Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 from 8 January 2026, while keeping a long list of that regulation's provisions alive until 8 January 2040 for products still covered by the old harmonised standards.
Articles 75 to 79 create the construction digital product passport. Article 75 requires the Commission to set the system up by delegated act; Article 76 lists what the passport must carry, beginning 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. The Commission's digital product passport registry, built under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, went live on 20 July 2026 with a test environment, a user interface and an API.
The Great Britain position
No equivalent instrument exists. Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 continues to apply here as assimilated law, most recently amended by the Construction Products (Amendment) Regulations 2025, which came into force on 8 January 2026 and allow compliance with corresponding provisions of the new EU regulation to be relied on in Great Britain.
That is a bridge for manufacturers who already follow the EU route. It is not an adoption of the EU passport. There is no UK schema, no UK registry and no UK duty to produce a passport, and the Construction Products Reform White Paper of 25 February 2026 does not create one — it describes making product information available digitally and developing digital standards with industry. Status: CONSULTATION.
Where the two meet
Northern Ireland is the obvious overlap: EU construction-product rules apply there under the Windsor Framework, and Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 was notified to the Northern Ireland Assembly as a replacement EU act. The Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee reported on 23 January 2025 and concluded that the conditions for the Stormont brake were not met.
Exports are the other overlap. A Great Britain manufacturer selling into the EU is subject to the EU regime for those products, whatever the domestic position.
What both regimes need from you
Identity, version, declared performance, the evidence behind each declared value, and the scope each piece of evidence covers. Every proposal on either side of the Channel needs that substrate. Building it is not a bet on any particular scheme.
What would be a bet is building to a guessed UK schema. There is nothing to build to yet, and we would label any prediction about what it will look like SPECULATION.
