 "description": "Understand when an EU Digital Product Passport requirement becomes applicable: Working Plan, delegated act, adoption, entry into force and application date.",
 "territory": "reg",
 "category": null,
 "direct_answer": "A product appearing in an EU Working Plan does **not** by itself mean that a Digital Product Passport is mandatory for that product.
