 "title": "Can a Digital Product Passport Replace Labels, Manuals or CE Marking?",
 "description": "A Digital Product Passport does not automatically replace physical labels, safety instructions or CE marking.",
 "territory": "impl",
 "category": null,
 "direct_answer": "No, not as a general rule. A Digital Product Passport can move some product information into a governed digital record. It does not create a general right to remove labels, safety information, instructions or CE marking from the physical product. The rule that requires the information still decides where it has to appear.",
