TraceID product passports, implemented with BAM Engineering
Give every product a verifiable digital identity that simplifies compliance, improves sustainability reporting and reduces recall risk.
About TraceID
TraceID links physical products to live digital passports so teams can see what a product is made of, where it came from and how it should be serviced or recycled. Data is machine-readable and aligned to standards, so it moves cleanly across your supply chain. Access can be tailored for customers, regulators and service partners. A simple scan with a QR or NFC tag unlocks trustworthy product data.
The platform provides complete infrastructure: from secure NFC and QR carriers to machine-readable passports aligned with GS1, EPCIS and ESPR standards. With EU Digital Product Passport regulations now mandatory from 2025, UK manufacturers exporting to Europe must adapt quickly—and TraceID delivers the solution.
"Link each product to a live digital passport to unlock authentication, engagement and lifecycle insight."

Why it matters for UK manufacturers
Mandatory EU Compliance
UK businesses are now third-country suppliers to the EU. Meet Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) requirements across every model, batch, and serialised item with machine-readable, standards-aligned records.
Supply Chain Visibility
Track components, batches and lifecycle events across suppliers. Know your carbon footprint, recycled content percentages, and substances of concern in real-time. Use GS1/EPCIS-friendly structures to exchange data seamlessly.
Sustainability Evidence
Evidence circularity claims with verifiable data linked to each item. Publish repair, reuse and end-of-life guidance without spreadsheet hunting. Transform compliance into competitive advantage through circular economy services.
Brand Protection & Risk Reduction
Cryptographically signed tags prevent counterfeiting whilst proving authenticity instantly. Reduce recall risk with complete traceability—know exactly which batches are affected and where they are.
Stakeholder-Specific Access
Provide tailored passport views for consumers, authorities, distributors and aftermarket partners while maintaining one source of truth. Role-based access ensures data security whilst enabling transparency.

The UK context
Critical for UK manufacturers
Third-Country Status
Since Brexit, UK manufacturers must comply with EU DPP regulations to access European markets. Without digital passports, your products cannot enter the EU after enforcement dates.
Beyond Compliance
While EU regulations drive adoption, UK manufacturers are discovering DPPs deliver enhanced customer trust, new service revenue, streamlined ESG reporting, and protection against greenwashing claims.
