Metadata registry

A metadata registry for Digital Product Passports

RVRC Hub is a registry for Digital Product Passports. Providers register their DPP metadata here so others can search it, find the products they need, and request access to restricted data. The passports themselves stay with the providers — the Hub is an index, not a data store.

How RVRC Hub works

A governed-access layer between DPP providers and industry users

01

Providers register DPP metadata

DPP providers such as Made2Verify send their registry metadata to RVRC Hub. The Hub indexes identifiers and search data — never the full DPP.

02

Users discover DPPs

Signed-in users search registered DPPs, view public metadata, and find products to remanufacture, repair or recycle.

03

Access is requested, approved and audited

Users request access to restricted variables. Data owners review, approve or reject requests. Approved grants are recorded, signed assertions are issued and all actions are audited.

Built for

Value-retention industries

DPP metadata exchange wherever products are remanufactured, repaired, reused or recycled.

Aerospace remanufacturing

Track gearboxes, engine modules and avionics across their service life, and check a part's passport before it arrives for remanufacture.

Industrial machinery

Share maintenance, material and repair histories for heavy equipment without exposing proprietary process data to every party in the chain.

Batteries & EV

Meet EU Battery Passport requirements — state-of-health, chemistry and supply-chain data, all searchable in one place.

Electronics

Support repair, reuse and material recovery with controlled access to restricted manufacturing and composition data.

Why RVRC Hub

Built for trust and transparency

Controlled, auditable access to Digital Product Passport metadata.

A central index of passports

RVRC Hub lists every Digital Product Passport in one place — who owns it and where to find it. Think of it as a catalogue: it points to each passport rather than holding it.

Governed access

Every request for restricted data is tracked. Data owners review, approve or reject access. Grants are time-limited and revocable.

Provider-hosted DPPs

Restricted values stay with the provider. When access is approved, RVRC Hub fetches authorised data using a signed grant assertion.

EU-aligned registry pattern

RVRC Hub follows the EU DPP central registry model under ESPR Articles 13 and 14.

Full audit trail

Every access request, approval, grant, fetch event and administrative action is recorded in an append-only audit log.

Cross-provider discovery

Search DPPs from every participating provider through a single registry.

Use cases

Why organisations participate

How organisations across the value chain use the registry.

For manufacturers

Register your Digital Product Passports once. The registry indexes every product by its unique identifier, responsible economic operator, and commodity code — so the value chain can discover what you make, without exposing proprietary product data.
