Frequently asked questions about ferropas.eu
What do you do with my data?
What you enter remains yours. You can download everything we have from you at any time in one go -- that's in Settings in your account, and you'll get a zip with your data in it. You can also delete it, and then it's really gone. The privacy statement describes per type of data what we store and how long.
Do I need an account to get started?
No. You can do the free check without an account and without an email address; the result appears on screen immediately and gets its own address that you can keep. You only need an account if you want your answers to persist and want to be tracked.
Can I cancel monthly?
Yes. There is no notice period and no minimum term. What you have built up by then, you can take with you when you cancel via the same download.
Is this advice?
No. We explain what applies and what is expected of you, with the source included. An assessment of your own situation is not that -- for that you engage an adviser or contact the authority responsible.

What exactly is the Ferropas and how does it differ from other product passports?
The Ferropas is the official digital product passport for iron and steel, developed in accordance with European regulations. It provides complete transparency on the origin, composition and environmental impact of steel products. Unlike traditional certificates, the Ferropas contains real-time data that can be continuously updated. This ensures reliable information on the sustainability and circularity of steel products throughout their entire lifecycle.
Who must use the Ferropas and when is it mandatory?
The Ferropas is intended for steel and iron producers, traders and all companies in the supply chain. The obligation depends on applicable EU regulations and national implementation timelines. Producers must prepare the passport before products reach the market. Traders and distributors pass on the information. Customers in the construction, automotive and industrial sectors also benefit from consulting the passport.
How do I set up a Ferropas for my products?
The first step is to register on the Ferropas platform. After that you gather data on raw material origin, production processes and environmental measurements. The system guides you step by step. Technical support assists with integration into your existing systems. After validation, the passport becomes public and customers can access it via the unique product code.
