The energy label and EPREL already exist.
Electronics already have an EU label. Regulation 2017/1369 puts the energy class on the product and registers each model in EPREL before sale. The database and the QR code on the label are the first digital pieces of a passport.

Since June 2025, smartphones and tablets follow Ecodesign Regulation 2023/1670: battery endurance, spare parts for seven years, operating system updates for five years, and a repairability class. This is a preview of what a passport will carry.
