DPP Examples

Overview

This section provides practical examples of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) using a physical product example — the Pierrie Cardin Polo Shirt (Model PC-Polo-Green, v1.2.0).

These examples demonstrate how the BPS DPP Core schema can represent flattened (Inline) and referenced (ByRef) information consistently across product lifecycle stages — from manufacturing to audit.

---

Example 1 — Lite DPP Snapshot (for Marketplace / Consumer QR)

The Lite DPP is a flattened, consumer-facing representation.
It provides immediate access to key trust signals without requiring additional API calls.

Characteristics

Aspect	Description
Accessibility	Public (via QR or marketplace)
Data Mode	Inline only

Query Need	None – self-contained snapshot
Typical Size	~10–25 KB
Lifecycle	Refreshed on product batch release or certification update

Example 2 — Full DPP Snapshot (for Regulator / Retailer / Auditor)

The Full DPP includes both Inline and ByRef data. This version is designed for regulators, auditors, or verified enterprise consumers who require provenance, traceability, and sustainability validation.

  ]
}

Characteristics

Aspect	Description
Accessibility	Authorized (manufacturer → regulator, retailer)
Data Mode	Inline + ByRef
Purpose	Verification, audit, provenance traceability
Query Need	Possible – for referenced artifacts
Typical Size	~50–150 KB (excluding artifacts)
Lifecycle	Regenerated at every manufacturing revision or audit event

Example 3 — DPP Artifact (Referenced)

Referenced artifacts extend the Full DPP by providing verifiable external documents.

Example: Composition Artifact (composition.json)

{
  "@context": "https://kivanura.org/spec/bps/0.1/bps-0.1.context.jsonld",
  "type": "dpp:CompositionArtifact",
  "productId": "urn:pierriecardin:product:pc-polo-green:v1.2.0",
  "capturedAt": "2025-09-10T00:00:00Z",
  "components": [
    {
      "materialName": "Organic Cotton",
      "originCountry": "India",
      "supplier": "Sundaram Textiles Pvt Ltd",
      "certifications": ["GOTS Certified", "Fair Trade Cotton"]
    },
    {
      "materialName": "Elastane",
      "originCountry": "China",
      "supplier": "Huaxi Chemical Fibres Co Ltd",
      "certifications": ["OEKO-TEX Compliant"]
    }
  ],
  "traceability": {
    "batchId": "PC-GRN-2025-09-LOT-07",
    "factory": "Porto Apparel Plant",
    "inspectionDate": "2025-09-20"
  }
}

Example 4 — Minimal DPP Lifecycle Metadata

This shows how the same product model evolves through multiple versions.

Version	Issued At	Status	Superseded By	Notes
v1.0.0	2024-09-01	Superseded	v1.1.0	Initial pilot issue
v1.1.0	2025-03-10	Superseded	v1.2.0	Updated supplier data
v1.2.0	2025-10-04	Valid	—	Current release, certified

Relationship to BPS DPP Core

DPP Section	Inline or ByRef	BPS Alignment	Example Content
composition	Inline + ByRef	Fulfills Schema/Provenance role	Materials, dye process, origins
supplychain	ByRef	Aligns with Lineage	Supplier graph, transport
manufacture	ByRef	Aligns with Provenance	Production logs, batch IDs
certification	Inline	Aligns with Quality/Trust	Audits, labels
sustainability	Inline	Aligns with Quality/Policy	Emissions, recyclability
policy	Inline	Aligns with Policy Findings	Compliance outcomes

---

Summary

These examples demonstrate:

• Lite DPP → Flattened, instantly viewable summary for marketplaces and QR scanning.
• Full DPP → Complete snapshot combining Inline data and verifiable external artifacts.
• Artifacts → Deep evidence packs, content-addressed and cryptographically sealed.

By following this pattern, manufacturers like Pierrie Cardin can provide product-level traceability that is:

• Human-readable,
• Machine-verifiable,
• Fully aligned with the BPS DPP Core,
• And extendable across physical, data, and AI product domains.
