Why Steel & Iron Are at Risk

In heavy industry, the stakes for compliance are higher, and the lifecycles are longer.

  • Procurement & Tender Risk: Major EU infrastructure projects and private developers now require verifiable traceability to mitigate their own environmental liability.

  • The 25-Year Data Challenge: Steel used in construction requires data retention for 20–25 years. Paper PDFs are no longer sufficient; your data must live as long as the structure itself.

  • The "Manual" Overhead: Managing thousands of Heat Treatment certificates and Declarations of Performance (DoP) manually is slow and prone to error.

  • SME Exclusion: Large enterprises have bespoke systems; DPP Link ensures that the 160,000+ SMEs in the supply chain aren't locked out of the market.

The Solution: DPP Link Industrial Engine

One platform. One source of truth. Full industrial compliance.

  • Intelligent Document Parsing: Upload your DoP, Heat Treatment certificates, or mill specs (PDF, XLSX). Our AI-ready stack extracts the mandatory fields for you.

  • Instant Machine-Readable DPPs: Generate passports featuring GS1 Digital Link and JSON-LD profiles that meet strict EU semantic standards.

  • Built for the Jobsite: QR-linked data allows for instant verification on-site by inspectors, contractors, or customs officials.

  • Long-Term Persistence: Our Phase 2 AWS Core migration is specifically designed to meet the extreme 25-year data longevity requirements for construction materials.

What’s Inside a Steel & Iron DPP?

Our passports provide a digital trust mark for every shipment:

  • Unit Traceability: GTIN, batch, and lot numbers for precise tracking.

  • Material Provenance: Verified records of ore source, alloys, and recycling input.

  • Quality & Safety Certs: Digital storage for EN, ISO, and CE documentation.

  • Environmental Footprint: CO₂ intensity, energy metrics, and circularity data.

  • Processing History: Records of heat treatment, coating, and galvanization.

  • Multilingual Support: Dynamic, live-updatable content accessible across the EU.

Beyond Compliance: Build Your Competitive Edge

  • Win More Bids: Provide verified material origin and low-carbon credentials that satisfy modern green procurement requirements.

  • Digital Supply Chain: Enable seamless tracking from the mill to the final factory or jobsite.

  • Sovereign Data Control: Our "Three-Layer" architecture ensures the manufacturer retains control of their data while remaining interoperable with EU systems.
