OpenGRPD is currently in a pilot phase in Germany and is being supported and further developed by the German Federal Association of Technology (BVT) and well-known retail companies.

Regulatory requirements for marketing products in the EU single market are increasing significantly and affect both retailers and manufacturers alike. For both sides, the key challenge is to make regulatory product information available in a complete, up-to-date, and structured manner.

Without standardized processes, high expenses, rising costs, and growing regulatory risks arise. The platform was developed to meet these requirements with a viable European industry solution for retailers and manufacturers.

The data provided via OpenGRPD can be accessed by retailers in a timely and standardized manner for online and omnichannel marketing, while also creating a scalable basis for upcoming regulatory requirements such as the Digital Product Passport (DPP) and other obligations.

There are significant advantages to using OpenGRPD, particularly for manufacturers, as the platform offers the following added value:

• Centralized and efficient maintenance of regulatory product data (“set it once – provide it in a controlled manner and make it available for multiple uses”)
• Significant reduction in individual dealer inquiries and special formats
• Automated interfaces for connecting existing IT systems
• Faster marketability of products in all relevant sales channels
