Product data determines whether you win projects

Understanding and using product data

Structured product data is essential for tenders, documentation and building operations. Providing it at an early stage makes coordination simpler and lays the groundwork for informed decisions. This is how you can access reliable product information. Right next to the product and available at any time.

Why product data is crucial to project success today

Product data is no longer just a minor technical detail. Three developments have made it much more important in projects today.

Regulations

Whether it's the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) or the EU Ecodesign Regulation, reliable product data is increasingly a prerequisite for projects, tenders and reports.

Market requirements

Building owners, planning engineers and operators must provide evidence of their sustainable decisions. Without structured, robust product data, this becomes a hurdle – if you don't have documented data, you can't score points or win contracts.

At the same time, practical information such as dimensions, weights and installation data must be readily available in day-to-day project work.

Competition

Searching for data sheets manually takes up valuable time. If you can provide product information in a matter of seconds, you'll stay competitive and win contracts. If you have to search for documents or submit them later, you'll waste time and miss out on projects.

What exactly are the DPP and PCF?

The Digital Product Passport and the Product Carbon Footprint are interlinked: The DPP provides structured product data centrally. The PCF is an essential part of this. Put simply, the DPP provides access to the information, and the PCF uses it to generate a key sustainability indicator.

Digital Product Passport: access to structured product data

The Digital Product Passport brings together all relevant information about a product – in a structured, up-to-date format and, in the case of DEHN products, directly accessible via a QR code.

This information includes:

Basic product information, such as details of materials and fabrics
Raw material extraction, processing and delivery information
Usage information, such as installation instructions
Environmental and sustainability data, including the PCF or recycling information

Product Carbon Footprint – transparent and useable

The PCF maps a product's CO₂ emissions across defined life cycle stages. This starts with the extraction of raw materials, covers the manufacturing process of the product, and includes its transport, use and disposal. The values are calculated in accordance with established standards and documented transparently in the PCF.

Advantages for you: you can compare products in terms of their carbon footprint, justify decisions and know that you are meeting sustainability requirements.

Accessing the DPP is easy

To access the DPP:

1. Scan the QR code on the product using your smartphone camera.

2. Open the Digital Product Passport. The language is detected automatically.

3. All relevant data is available immediately. There's no logging in, no app and no lengthy searching.

Access the DPP

How you benefit from the Digital Product Passport.

Compliance-ready data

EPD, RoHS, REACH and upcoming EU requirements – all the data is ready for use in your tenders and reports.

Substantiated arguments

Verified figures rather than empty promises: if you need to demonstrate sustainability to building owners, clients or buyers, you've got something to give them.

Faster: Planning and maintenance

Whether it's materials, origin details, certificates or usage instructions – simply scanning the product significantly reduces the amount of research and coordination required.

Earning certification points

For projects involving building certification, we provide available product data that can be included in the relevant assessment. Which details are accepted depends on the certification system used for operation.

Product lifecycle information

Information that isn't just available at installation, but in the decades to come: Information on use, maintenance and recycling. Right on the device, not in a file folder.

A future-proof database

A structured database makes it easier to adapt product information to meet new regulatory or customer-specific requirements.

Real-world use cases

How the PCF and the DPP help specific tasks relating to planning, tendering and operations.

Purchasing: Access reliable product information faster 

All relevant product data is available at any time, without the need to search or make enquiries. 

Technology: Transparency through verifiable data

Product information is documented and verifiable – no assumptions, no uncertainty.

Sustainability and compliance requirements under control 

Relevant data such as PCF, RoHS and REACH is available in a structured format and can be used immediately.

Better decision-making in projects 

Documented product information provides the fundamentals for evaluating products according to defined criteria.

The database: substantiated, not merely asserted

The data is calculated and provided based on recognised standards such as ISO 14067, validated procedures and independent assessments. This creates a solid foundation you can rely on for planning, tendering and operations.
