Tærskler og undtagelser
- Existing Ecodesign measures for smartphones, tablets, servers and data storage already require some of these fields; the DPP consolidates them.
- Professional / enterprise equipment may carry a narrower set of fields focused on repair and end-of-life.
Åbne spørgsmål
- Alignment with the Right-to-Repair Directive and the EU Common Charger rules.
- Treatment of second-hand and refurbished devices.
- How updates to the software-support duration propagate to the DPP over time.
