    passports (DPP) are intended to provide reliable, interoperable information throughout
    the product lifecycle, enabling compliance, transparency, and circularity. This
    paper seeks to address the question of how a DPP can be effectively implemented
    in the field of engineering, developing a referenced, industry-independent architecture
    for this purpose. The layers for data, communication, logical architecture, functions,
    and potential are derived from regulation and practice; integration, interoperability,
    and validation requirements are discussed using a use case.</jats:p>"
