Sharing Passports

Evolving Knowledge Base

The RBTP Knowledge Base is evolving weekly as part of our pilot programs with RBA members. We’d love your input — submit feedback or help shape the protocol in real time by joining a pilot.

Sharing Exercise - Sharing DPP’s with Supply Chain Actors​

💡

In this exercise, we demonstrate how to share a Digital Product Passport using the IDR link or a QR Code.

An IDR link works like any internet link that when clicked, it brings you to a website with information. In UNTP, the IDR link we describe below links to a Digital Product Passport.

  1. In this exercise we will use the Interactive Value Chain map from the RBTP Reference Implementation - Link to RBTP Interactive Value Chain Map

    1. You can select any Digital Product Passport from the Map, but in this exercise we will use the Digital Battery Passport that is issued by the Battery Manufacturer.
    2. After selecting the DBP, choose “Open Issued Credential (sample)” to view the sample DBP. sharing_exercise_img_1

  2. Once the credential is opened, the IDR link can be copied and pasted.

  3. Send this link as you would any internet link (email, text, zulip) to share this with interested parties

Sharing a DPP Using a QR Code​

💡

Currently the QR code is only visible when you are issuing a credential, so this exercise will have the initial step of creating a Digital Product Passport

  1. Visit the RBTP Interactive Value Chain Map

    1. Hover over, and select any Digital Product Passport. In this exercise, we use the Digital Electronic Goods Passport

  2. An Issuing page will open that you use to publish a credential. As you scroll down you’ll see a QR code just below the map, and above the fields where data is entered

    1. Use a snippet tool, or “Print Screen” key on your keyboard to capture a screenshot of the QR Code and save to your local device

  3. Complete the fields (or skip entirely, they are prepopulated with synthetic data to make things easier) and scroll to the bottom and click submit in order to publish your Digital Product Passport.

    1. The newly created digital passport is now discoverable by the QR code saved to your local device.

  4. The code can be printed and placed on packaging, or displayed on a device and anyone with a QR Code reader can discover information about the product
