Tyres under ESPR and the Digital Product Passport
Tyres are in the first Working Plan. The preparatory study is building on existing Euro 7 tyre wear and rolling-resistance data infrastructure, which may reduce the data collection burden for producers already building toward Euro 7 compliance.

First category delegated acts expected. Iron and steel is the lead category and the only one to reach public consultation, which ran 20 May to 12 August 2026 and is now closed, with adoption targeted Q4 2026. Textiles, tyres, and aluminium follow. Dates other than the consultation window are indicative.
Expected DPP data requirements (not yet confirmed in an act):
- Abrasion data and microplastic particle release potential
- Tire lifetime and wear performance metrics
- Compound composition and chemical substances of concern
- Recyclability and end-of-life information
Watch items
- No delegated act proposed yet. Euro 7 tyre wear data may create infrastructure synergies. Monitor the preparatory study for scope confirmation. Signaled
What to do now
Monitor Euro 7 implementation alongside the ESPR preparatory study. If you are building Euro 7 data infrastructure, assess how it maps to likely DPP fields to avoid duplicate work.
