Frequently Asked Questions

A Digital Product Passport is a machine-readable digital record for every product sold into the EU market, accessible via QR code. It is mandated by EU Regulation ESPR (2024/1781) and will be required for furniture and interior products by approximately 2029. The EU DPP Registry went live on 20 July 2026.

Yes. ESPR applies to any product placed on the EU market regardless of where it is manufactured. If you export furniture to Europe from Italy, Turkey, China, or anywhere else, the DPP obligation applies to you.

Non-compliant products will be excluded from the EU market by market surveillance authorities. Products can also be excluded from public procurement tenders, which are increasingly requiring ESPR-compliant documentation even before the mandatory deadline.

A configuration is a specific combination of components, for example, a chair with a particular fabric, base, and arm option. ESPR requires a unique DPP for each configuration with a different material composition. A chair in 10 fabrics, 3 bases, and 2 arm options produces 60 distinct configurations, each with its own passport.

Logifurn structures your Bill of Materials against the ESPR data categories set out in Article 5(1), including material composition, durability, and environmental impact. Weight and material data are resolved automatically from your BOM. Where more detailed impact reporting is required, Logifurn is built to incorporate it as your supplier data matures.

Yes. Logifurn is designed to work with incomplete data. Missing values are filled with defensible, clearly flagged estimates. You can publish a passport with partial data and improve it over time as better information becomes available.

Not initially. Where possible, Logifurn sources data from documents your suppliers already produce, such as declarations of conformity and material certificates. Additional licensed datasets are only needed for more advanced reporting, and we'll always tell you before that becomes necessary.

Onboarding starts with a one-time project where Logifurn ingests your ERP export, maps your component codes to verified materials, and resolves weights for each component. Timeline depends on catalogue size and data readiness. After onboarding, new BOMs process automatically.

Logifurn works with any ERP system. For SAP, we request an export of the Material Master and Purchasing Info Record. For Navision, Odoo, and custom systems, our column mapper handles any Excel or CSV format. You do not need to change your ERP or your workflow.

DPP volume scales with your plan. Get in touch and we'll size a plan around your catalogue and configuration count.

Yes. Each manufacturer account is completely isolated at both the application and database level. No other client can access your ERP data, BOM structure, or commercial information. Logifurn is hosted on Hetzner Frankfurt (GDPR-compliant EU infrastructure).

Yes. The platform monitors the ECHA Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern, automatically flags components that contain restricted substances above the 0.1% threshold, and generates one-click REACH compliance statements for tender packs.

Yes. For any BOM component containing wood, the platform tracks supplier GPS coordinates, Due Diligence Statement reference numbers, and country of production, the data required under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR 2023/1115). This data also populates the Origin and Supply Chain section of the DPP automatically.

Yes. When a BOM contains an electronic sub-assembly such as a motorised leg or USB hub, the platform automatically applies WEEE directive compliance requirements, adds the required recycling symbol to the DPP, and prompts the manufacturer to upload the CE Declaration of Conformity.
