Article 24 Digital product passport registry

1.   Before placing a detergent or end-user surfactant on the market, the relevant economic operator shall upload, in the registry established under Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1781, the unique product identifier and the unique operator identifier for that detergent or end-user surfactant.

In the case of detergents or end-user surfactants intended to be placed under the customs procedure ‘release for free circulation’, the registry shall store the commodity code of that detergent or end-user surfactant.

2.   Upon the uploading by the economic operator of the data referred to in paragraph 1 in the registry, the registry shall automatically communicate to that economic operator a unique registration identifier associated with the identifiers uploaded in the registry for a specific detergent or end-user surfactant (‘unique registration identifier’). That communication by the registry shall not be deemed to be proof of compliance with this Regulation or other Union law.

The Commission may adopt an implementing act specifying the implementation arrangements for the registry, including for the communication of the unique registration identifier. That implementing act shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 32(2).

3.   The Commission, competent national authorities and customs authorities shall have access to the registry for the purpose of carrying out their duties pursuant to this Regulation.
