Applus+ Laboratories and OKTICS collaborates on the Digital Product Passport solutions

22/09/2026

    Applus+ Laboratories and OKTICS have launched a strategic collaboration to develop Digital Product Passport (DPP) solutions tailored to industrial needs and aligned with the new European regulatory framework.

    The initiative aims to help manufacturers and industrial companies anticipate the progressive implementation of the Digital Product Passport in Europe, driven by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and other related regulations.

    Preparing for the Digital Product Passport

    The progressive implementation of the DPP will introduce new requirements related to traceability, sustainability, circularity, and product information management. To address these challenges, companies will need to be able to collect, structure, and keep product information updated throughout the entire product lifecycle.

    A value proposition for the industry

    The collaboration between OKTICS and Applus+ Laboratories combines expertise in traceability, digital product identity, technology platforms, certification, and conformity assessment to help companies turn Digital Product Passport requirements into an opportunity for digitalization and value creation. Beyond meeting future regulatory obligations, the initiative seeks to promote more efficient product information management, improving traceability, transparency, and data analytics capabilities.

    "We believe the Digital Product Passport should be understood as an opportunity to organize data, improve processes, and generate new digital capabilities around products. Our collaboration with Applus+ Laboratories allows us to advance realistic implementation models, particularly in industrial sectors where traceability, technical documentation, and trust are becoming increasingly important," says Eugenio Oñate, CEO of OKTICS.

    The solutions enable companies to centralize technical information, connect systems and internal processes, improve traceability, and enhance the analysis and use of product-related data.

    Supporting the transition to the DPP

    Applus+ Laboratories and OKTICS are already collaborating on pilot projects with manufacturers from various sectors to validate implementation models and adapt solutions to different industrial environments.

    In addition, both organizations will promote market awareness and support initiatives through webinars, industry events, participation in conferences, and the development of specialized content, helping companies transition toward more digital, traceable, and sustainable management models.
