Concepts
Core concepts behind EUlabel — Digital Product Passports, GS1 Digital Link, the resolver, and scan analytics.
EUlabel sits at the intersection of product identity, regulatory compliance, and developer infrastructure. Understanding these four concepts will give you the mental model for how everything fits together.
Digital Product Passports
EU-mandated machine-readable datasets for physical products under the Ecodesign Regulation
GS1 Digital Link
The standard for encoding GTINs into web-resolvable URIs that work as both barcodes and web addresses
The Resolver
The routing engine behind the QR code — one scan, multiple audiences
Scan Analytics
Structured scan events captured at the infrastructure layer before redirect
