Digital Product Passports for Construction: From raw supply chain data to live compliance

Automate Construction DPP Compliance: turn complex EPDs and bill of materials into Live Digital Passports.
Seamlessly ingest structured data pools, automate required Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), and deliver machine-readable, audit-ready data straight to contractors and EU registries.

The European construction sector is entering its most significant regulatory transformation. Under the Revised Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), traditional PDF Declarations of Performance (DoPs) are no longer sufficient. Manufacturers must now deliver machine-readable, structured Declarations of Performance and Conformity (DoPC) linked to unique digital carriers.

Arkive bridges the gap between raw data collection and the live EU registry, ensuring your products retain absolute market access.

  • 1. Ingest Structured Data: Zero manual entry.

    Whether you collect raw data internally or utilize dedicated data platforms or softwares, Arkive plugs straight into the source. We map incoming datasets directly to the required European data dictionaries.

  • 2. Connect to your core systems: System-wide synchronization.

    Arkive does not create a new data silo. Via flexible REST APIs and native extensions, we connect directly with your existing enterprise systems, including ERPs (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics), PIM systems, and BIM environments.

  • 3. Generate & Manage Live DPPs: Automated compliance lifecycle assessment.

    Arkive transforms your synchronized data into verified, dynamic Digital Product Passports. We manage the lifecycle, handle tiered stakeholder access (for clients, architects, and regulators), and output compliant data carriers like QR codes.

Seamless integration with the Construction Ecosystem

We understand that data governance in construction is complex. That is why Arkive is designed from the ground up to handle data delivery rather than duplicating collection tasks.

If you use... Arkive acts as... The Result
Softwares providers & Product Data Templates The Integration & Generation Engine We take your standardized Cobuilder outputs and map them into the live EU DPP registry ecosystem.
ERPs & Internal PIM Systems The Automated Sync Layer Real-time connections pull product lifecycle and environmental metrics directly from your systems.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) The Digital Translator We unpack static EPD files into machine-readable datasets required for building-level LCA calculations.

Operational Freedom: If you already have data collection handled, Arkive is the missing bridge that hooks it directly to the end-user's phone, the contractor's BIM model, and European compliance registries.

For manufacturers who still need upstream supplier data tracking, Arkive provides modular collection utilities to close the gap.

Built for tomorrow's Procurement realities

Contractors, developers, and public tender authorities are no longer accepting static files. They demand granular Global Warming Potential (GWP) and circularity data embedded into digital workflows. Arkive gives your products a competitive advantage at the point of specification.

  • Compliant Data Infrastructure: Fully aligned with upcoming Q4 2026 EU DPP Service Provider requirements.
  • Interoperable Output: Machine-readable formats (JSON/APIs) designed for smooth integration into digital building logbooks and lifecycle tools.

FAQ Digital Product Passport for Construction & Assets

How does Arkive complement existing data collection software providers?

Arkive is an integration and passport generation platform. While platforms like Cobuilder specialize in rigorous data collection and structuring according to common data templates, Arkive connects directly to those data points to dynamically deploy, display, and manage the active Digital Product Passports for end users, recyclers, and authorities.

Can Arkive pull data directly from our enterprise ERP or PIM?

Yes. Arkive features open REST APIs and middleware compatibility engineered to pull product data, material compositions, and verified EPD parameters right out of your existing source-of-truth applications without shifting your team's day-to-day workflow.

Does Arkive support Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data and the product "Replacement Phase"?

Yes. Under EN 15804+A2 standards for construction products, environmental tracking spans the entire product lifecycle. Arkive natively handles data from your Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), including Module B4 (Replacement Phase) parameters. This ensures that when a contractor or asset manager integrates your product's DPP data into building-level LCAs or digital building logbooks, the expected material replacement lifecycles and durability metrics are perfectly mapped and machine-readable.

Can we map data if a material is replaced or repaired mid-lifecycle?

Yes. Unlike static PDF documentation, an Arkive Digital Product Passport is a living ledger. If a component is swapped, repaired, or undergoes maintenance during the building's operational use phase, the passport dataset can be updated via our API. This keeps the product’s digital identity accurate for facility managers, insurance audits, and future circular recycling reclamation downstream.

What information is likely to be required for building products?

Construction product passports require heavy alignment with the Revised CPR and ESPR frameworks:

  • Product Identification: Unique serialized data carriers (QR codes/Data Matrix) linked to Digital Declarations of Performance and Conformity (DoPC).
  • Material Composition: Detailed tracking of raw material origins, substance declarations, and recycled content metrics.
  • Environmental Indicators: Verified Global Warming Potential (GWP) and carbon footprint data extracted from your Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
  • Usage & Lifecycle Phase: Expected durability tracking and durability lifecycles, including Module B4 (Replacement Phase) parameters.
  • End-of-Life Logistics: Standardized circularity instructions for building dismantling, component reuse, and material reclamation.
