# **Electronics DPP** Digital Product Passport vocabulary for electronic devices under ESPR, the French Repairability Index, EU Right to Repair and WEEE. [~~electronics~~](https://openepcis.io/de/tags/electronics)· [~~repairability~~](https://openepcis.io/de/tags/repairability)· [~~weee~~](https://openepcis.io/de/tags/weee)· [~~energy-label~~](https://openepcis.io/de/tags/energy-label)· [~~right-to-repair~~](https://openepcis.io/de/tags/right-to-repair)· 3 min read ## Overview The **Electronics DPP** module provides the vocabulary and the JSON-LD context for Digital Product Passports targeting electronic devices under ESPR 2024/1781 and the surrounding regulatory layer — the French Repairability Index, the EU Right to Repair, the EU Energy Labelling Regulation 2017/1369, and the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU.**Status**: v0.9.5 pre-release. Vocabulary and JSON-LD context feature-complete; reference passport documents shipped for smartphones, laptops, displays and servers. ## Quick links - [Electronics vocabulary browser](https://ref.openepcis.io/extensions/eu/electronics/) — the authoritative term list - [openepcis-dpp-ready electronics module](https://github.com/openepcis/openepcis-dpp-ready/tree/main/extensions/eu/electronics) — context, ontology, schema, SHACL shapes, examples - Reference passports: [smartphone](https://github.com/openepcis/openepcis-dpp-ready/blob/main/extensions/eu/electronics/examples/smartphone-product.jsonld) · [laptop](https://github.com/openepcis/openepcis-dpp-ready/blob/main/extensions/eu/electronics/examples/laptop-product.jsonld) · [display](https://github.com/openepcis/openepcis-dpp-ready/blob/main/extensions/eu/electronics/examples/display-product.jsonld) · [server](https://github.com/openepcis/openepcis-dpp-ready/blob/main/extensions/eu/electronics/examples/server-product.jsonld) - Reference EPCIS events: [`**extensions/eu/electronics/epcis/**`](https://github.com/openepcis/openepcis-dpp-ready/tree/main/extensions/eu/electronics/epcis) — commissioning, ownership transfer, component replacement, software update, WEEE disposal ## Regulation context | **Pillar** | **Reference** | **What it requires** |

| --- | --- | | Device categorisation | `**electronics:DeviceCategory**` (`**Smartphone**`, `**Tablet**`, `**Laptop**`, `**Desktop**`, `**Server**`, `**Television**`, `**Display**`, `**Printer**`, `**Refrigerator**`, `**WashingMachine**`, `**Dishwasher**`, `**VacuumCleaner**`, `**SmallAppliance**`, `**NetworkEquipment**`, `**Wearable**`, `**DataStorage**`) | | Repairability | `**electronics:RepairabilityIndex**` (French method) + `**electronics:EURepairabilityClass**` with `**RepairClassA**`…`**RepairClassE**` (Right-to-Repair grading), `**electronics:RepairCriterion**` with the criterion-by-criterion breakdown | | Spare parts | `**electronics:SparePartsAvailability**`, `**electronics:SparePartsPricing**`, `**electronics:ReplacementDifficulty**` (`**UserReplaceable**`, `**ToolRequired**`, `**ProfessionalOnly**`, `**NotReplaceable**`) | | Software support | `**electronics:SoftwareSupport**`, `**electronics:firmwareVersion**`, `**electronics:osVersion**`, `**electronics:previousVersion**`, `**electronics:newVersion**`, `**electronics:updateSource**`, `**electronics:updateType**` | | Energy efficiency | `**electronics:EnergyEfficiency**`, `**electronics:EnergyEfficiencyClass**` (`**EnergyClassA**`–`**EnergyClassG**`), `**electronics:eprelRegistrationNumber**`, `**electronics:annualEnergyConsumption**` | | Display specifics | `**electronics:DisplaySpecification**`, `**electronics:displayTechnology**` | | Component BOM | `**electronics:ComponentBOM**`, `**electronics:ComponentType**` (`**BatteryComponent**`, `**CameraComponent**`, `**ConnectorComponent**`, `**CoolingSystemComponent**`, `**DisplayComponent**`, `**EnclosureComponent**`, `**KeyboardComponent**`, `**MemoryComponent**`, `**MicrophoneComponent**`, `**MotherboardComponent**`, `**PowerSupplyComponent**`, `**ProcessorComponent**`, `**SpeakerComponent**`, `**StorageComponent**`, `**TrackpadComponent**`), `**electronics:componentPartNumber**` | | WEEE (Annex III, six categories) | `**electronics:WEEECategory**` with `**WEEE1_TemperatureExchange**`, `**WEEE2_ScreensMonitors**`, `**WEEE3_Lamps**`, `**WEEE4_LargeEquipment**`, `**WEEE5_SmallEquipment**`, `**WEEE6_SmallIT**`; `**electronics:weeeRegistrationNumber**`, `**electronics:weeeRegistrationCountry**` | | RoHS | `**electronics:RoHSCompliance**`, `**electronics:rohsExemptions**`, `**electronics:iec62474DslVersion**` (IEC 62474 declarable substances) | For the full term list with definitions, see the [browser](https://ref.openepcis.io/extensions/eu/electronics/). ## French Repairability Index The French Repairability Index uses a 100-point scale, displayed as 0–10 on the product label, calculated across five weighted criteria: | **Criterion** | **Weight** | **What it captures** |
| --- | --- | --- | | Documentation | 20% | Availability of repair manuals, diagrams, parts lists | | Disassembly | 20% | Ease of disassembly, tools required | | Spare parts availability | 20% | How long spare parts remain available | | Spare parts price | 20% | Spare-parts price relative to product price | | Product-specific | 20% | Category-specific repairability criteria | (The exact weighting and threshold table is set by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and changes per product family — refer to the [official methodology](https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/indice-reparabilite) for current values.) In a passport, the index is captured as `**electronics:RepairabilityIndex**` with one `**electronics:RepairCriterion**` per scored axis. The EU Right to Repair A–E grading lives separately in `**electronics:EURepairabilityClass**`. ## WEEE categories (Annex III) WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex III collapses electrical and electronic equipment into **six** categories — this is the controlled list the OpenEPCIS vocabulary uses: 1. `**WEEE1_TemperatureExchange**` — fridges, freezers, heat pumps 2. `**WEEE2_ScreensMonitors**` — TVs, monitors, displays > 100 cm² 3. `**WEEE3_Lamps**`4. `**WEEE4_LargeEquipment**` — any large appliance > 50 cm 5. `**WEEE5_SmallEquipment**` — small appliances ≤ 50 cm 6. `**WEEE6_SmallIT**` — small IT and telecom equipment ≤ 50 cm ## Energy class`**electronics:EnergyEfficiencyClass**` carries the regulatory energy-label class (`**EnergyClassA**`…`**EnergyClassG**`). The `**electronics:eprelRegistrationNumber**` cross-references the EU Product Registry for Energy Labelling so verifiers can pull the canonical declaration. ## Bring the context in EPCIS captures declare the extension via the GS1-Extensions header:```
GS1-Extensions: electronics=https://ref.openepcis.io/extensions/eu/electronics/, dpp=https://ref.openepcis.io/extensions/common/core/
``` JSON-LD documents reference the published contexts:```
{
  "@context": [
    "https://ref.openepcis.io/extensions/eu/electronics/electronics-context.jsonld",
    "https://ref.openepcis.io/extensions/eu/battery/battery-context.jsonld",
    "https://ref.gs1.org/standards/epcis/epcis-context.jsonld"
  ]
}
``` A device with an embedded battery (smartphone, laptop, e-scooter) imports both the electronics and battery contexts so the battery cell or pack can carry its own typed data on the same passport, or — preferred for multi-component products — link to a separately-resolvable battery DPP. See [Multi-component example](https://openepcis.io/docs/digital-product-passport/multi-component-example). ## Dependencies on the DPP core The electronics passport reuses these published core blocks: - `**dpp:OperatorInformation**` — economic operator data - `**dpp:RepairabilityInfo**` — repair scores (cross-cutting; the French index lives in `**electronics:RepairabilityIndex**`) - `**dpp:FacilityInformation**` — manufacturing facility data - `**dpp:CircularityPerformance**` — circularity metrics and end-of-life handling - `**dpp:AccessRights**` — data access tier per ESPR Article 9 ## Resources - [ESPR Regulation 2024/1781](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1781) - [French Repairability Index methodology](https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/indice-reparabilite) - [EU Energy Labelling Regulation 2017/1369](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2017/1369) - [WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2012/19) - [EPREL Database](https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/) — EU Product Registry for Energy Labelling - [iFixit Repairability standards](https://www.ifixit.com/repairability) ## Next steps - [Implementation guide](https://openepcis.io/docs/digital-product-passport/electronics/implementation-guide) - [Complete examples](https://openepcis.io/docs/digital-product-passport/electronics/complete-examples) - [Multi-component example](https://openepcis.io/docs/digital-product-passport/multi-component-example) - [DPP Resolution Flow](https://openepcis.io/docs/digital-product-passport/dpp-resolution-flow)
