  text: Political goals, emerging EU sustainability regulations, and industrial digitalization
    are driving the introduction of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) to enhance transparency,
    traceability, and compliance across product life cycles. However, the appropriate
    granularity of DPP integration across product architectures remains ambiguous.
    This paper introduces a structured, decision-oriented framework that links product
    structure, regulatory relevance, and information depth to define consistent DPP
    levels, supporting both industry implementation and future standardization.
