This article explores the probable extension to smartphones, home appliances, and other electronics, the data fields a digital product passport will need, and why NFC-enabled product identification is becoming the practical implementation layer. It covers repairability and spare parts information, battery and material disclosure, and a step-by-step 2030 readiness roadmap. Electronics exporters and manufacturers will learn how to prepare data systems, choose NFC tags and inlays, and connect physical products to cloud-based passport records without disrupting production.
