What does the Digital Product Passport bring to the aviation industry?
Digital Product Passport for the Aviation Industry
The Digital Product Passport for the Aviation Industry will become mandatory – and a major opportunity for companies developing aircraft parts, components, or materials for aviation. In the future, key product information must be provided digitally: from material and origin to maintenance history, safety testing, and reuse.
For OEMs, suppliers, operators, MROs, and authorities: reliable information to ensure compliance, increase efficiency, and support safety reporting – including structured product data, traceable origin, and standardized maintenance
EU Regulation Aviation Industry: Digital Product Passport for Aviation Components
In the aviation industry, the documentation of material data, maintenance history, and safety records has long been standard practice – but usually in isolated systems and company-specific formats. With the EU's ESPR Regulation, the Digital Product Passport in the aviation industry is now becoming a mandatory, standardized framework for transparency, sustainability, and interoperability across company boundaries.
Particularly durable, maintenance-relevant, and safety-critical components are coming into focus – from OEM components to retrofitted system solutions. Manufacturers and maintenance providers will be required to provide digital and machine-readable information in the future:
-
Material composition & origin (e.g. composite materials, aluminum, titanium)
-
Service life, maintenance history & installation context
-
Recyclability, retrofitability & take-back options
What's new isn't the technical documentation itself—what's new is the EU-wide mandatory openness, standardization, and reusability of this data along the entire value chain. This applies not only to OEMs, but also to repair service providers, suppliers, leasing companies, and downstream operators.
The Digital Aviation Product Passport can become a digital service point beyond the mere obligation to provide information:
-
Digital maintenance reports, installation instructions & test certificates for parts and components
-
Access to spare parts, retrofit options and take-back programs
-
Product stories, compliance data & ESG documentation for reporting and communication

Requirements & Opportunities
Product data such as material, origin and maintenance history are becoming mandatory – and an opportunity for greater transparency and operational efficiency
Traceability & second-life concepts enable sustainable use across multiple aircraft generations
Digital touchpoints facilitate testing, approvals and international collaboration along the aviation supply chain
#UseCases by Narravero
Anonymous Case by _______
"We're not only thrilled with the Narravero tool itself, but especially with the team. You were incredibly knowledgeable about our company and, above all, the specifics of the industry, and you not only proposed a solution but also implemented it in a very short time!
The Narravero tool is self-explanatory, and the fact that the modules are very easy to configure for expansion is an absolute process simplification. This is simply an innovation: full traceability within the industry, as well as quick access to the documents and essential data in the metadatabase."
A distributor of aviation fasteners from southern Germany.
