Digital Product Passport Readiness Checklist

Use this checklist to find the gaps between your current product data and what a Digital Product Passport needs — then close them in one workspace.

How ready is your product data?

Check the work you have completed to see what still needs attention.

Start from one source of truth

Start by identifying the product records, identifiers and data owners you already have. Govern that source in your current system or Utomo Products, then connect the passport workflow.

Audit the attributes a passport needs

Compare what you already capture — materials, weight, recycled content, recyclability, repairability, documents — against passport requirements, and flag what is missing.

Publish, share, and keep it current

When the data has been reviewed, publish a QR-linked passport. Keep the published snapshot and review subsequent changes before creating a new version.

A few things you might be wondering.

How long does it take to get passport-ready?

It depends mostly on the state of your product data. Teams with information already centralized move quickly; those starting from spreadsheets should budget time to consolidate first.

Do we need every field before we start?

No. Start by centralizing what you have, then fill gaps. Utomo’s completeness tracking helps you see what is publish-ready versus still missing.

Can we try this with a few products?

Yes. Start with a few products to model a packaging structure and build a sample passport before rolling out across the catalog.

Keep exploring.
