Each extension term includes dcterms:source, skos:note, and rdfs:seeAlso where applicable. All ratio/fraction properties use 0-1 decimal scale (e.g., 0.45 = 45%).
Repairability Index
French Repairability Index (Indice de Réparabilité) assessment using the official 5-criteria, 100-point scoring methodology. The score is displayed to consumers as 0-10 scale ; dcterms:source <https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/indice-reparabilite> ; skos:note "Repairability concept per the French Repairability Index (Indice de Réparabilité) and the EU Right to Repair. No GS1, SEMICeu, or schema.org equivalent."@en . Five Criteria (20 points each): 1. Documentation - Availability of repair documentation 2. Disassembly - Ease of disassembly and tools required 3. Spare Parts Availability - Duration and access to spare parts 4. Spare Parts Pricing - Ratio of part prices to product price 5. Product Specific - Category-specific criteria (e.g., software support for smartphones) Total score (0-100) is converted to display score (0-10) for consumer labeling.
Required extension: The French Repairability Index uses a specific 5-criteria methodology that is not available in GS1 Web Vocabulary. Links to oec:RepairabilityInfo for base patterns.
Repair Criterion
An individual criterion score within the French Repairability Index.
A RepairCriterion is a specific kind of cccev:Criterion (EU SEMICeu CCCEV): the five Repairability-Index criteria (Documentation, Disassembly, SparePartsAvailability, SparePartsPricing, ProductSpecific) each scored against an InformationConcept within the broader Repairability Requirement. Modelled as rdfs:subClassOf rather than owl:equivalentClass because cccev:Criterion is broader and covers any conformity-evaluation criterion. CCCEV is the EU foundation that JTC 24 / CIRPASS-2 lean on for conformity / scoring.
Software Support
Operating system and firmware support information including update periods, security patch availability, and end-of-support dates. Critical for electronics lifecycle and repairability assessments per ESPR delegated acts. Designed following ISO/IEC 12207 (software lifecycle) and ISO/IEC 14764 (software maintenance) patterns as a potential contribution to UNTP v1.0+.
Software lifecycle tracking per ISO/IEC 12207. Designed as potential UNTP extension. UNTP v0.6 does not yet include software support properties, making this a candidate for contribution to UNTP v1.0+. Aligns approximately with DPP Keystone dppk:softwareUpdatePolicy.
Energy Efficiency
EU Energy Label data including efficiency class (A-G), power consumption metrics, and EPREL registry information per EU Energy Labeling Regulation 2019/2021.
Required extension: GS1 provides performance information patterns but lacks specific EU Energy Label properties (A-G classes, EPREL registration) required for electronics.
Component Bill of Materials
Bill of Materials for multi-component electronics supporting CIRPASS-2 nested DPP requirements. Links individual components to their own Digital Product Passports.
Required extension: CIRPASS-2 electronics pilots require multi-component tracking where each component (battery, display, etc.) may have its own DPP. Aligned with UNTP linkedProduct pattern.
WEEE Compliance
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive compliance information including equipment category, registration number, and collection scheme.
Required extension: WEEE has 6 specific equipment categories not in GS1 vocabulary. Use gs1:regulatoryInformation for general compliance, this class for WEEE-specific data.
RoHS Compliance
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive compliance information including compliance status and applicable exemptions.
Required extension: RoHS has specific exemption categories not in GS1 vocabulary. Use gs1:regulatoryInformation for general compliance, this class for RoHS-specific data.
Electronic Device
A finished item of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) as defined in WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 3(1)(a): equipment which is dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to work. This is the product an electronics Digital Product Passport describes, as distinct from euelec:ElectronicComponent, which is a part inside it.
Required extension: gs1:Product and schema:Product cover any trade item. Neither scopes the EEE definition that decides whether the WEEE and RoHS obligations and the ESPR electronics delegated acts apply at all, and the module needs that scope as a distinct SHACL target class so device-level and component-level shapes do not both fire on every gs1:Product.
Electronic Component
A part inside an item of electrical and electronic equipment that is listed in the component bill of materials: battery, display, mainboard, power supply, and so on. A component may carry its own nested Digital Product Passport (CIRPASS-2 multi-component pattern).
Required extension: the ESPR electronics delegated acts and the CIRPASS-2 electronics pilots require the parts of a device to be addressable separately from the device itself (spare-part availability, replaceability, nested component passports). GS1, SEMICeu and schema.org have a single undifferentiated product/trade-item class, so the device/component distinction has no upstream term to reuse.

Selective Treatment Item
A material, substance or component identified in a WEEE item that has to be removed and handled separately before the item enters bulk treatment, per the selective-treatment list of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex VII (batteries, capacitors, mercury-containing components, ...).
Required extension: oec:HazardousSubstance models a CLP/REACH substance declaration against a product, identified by CAS/EC number. A selective-treatment finding is an operational observation made on one waste item about a whole component (for example "lithium-ion battery"), which neither that pattern nor any GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org class expresses.
Recovered Material
A single material stream recovered from a WEEE item, or estimated as recoverable from it: the material and its mass. Used both for the pre-treatment estimate and for the measured output of a treatment operation.
Required extension: oec:MaterialComposition describes what a product is made of as mass fractions of the product. A recovered stream is the opposite direction of the same accounting: an absolute mass actually taken out of one waste item at a treatment facility, which the WEEE Annex V recovery accounting needs and no upstream class carries.
Material Recovery Result
The aggregate outcome of a WEEE treatment operation on one item: total input mass, total recovered mass, and the recovery, recycling and energy-recovery rates that WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex V expresses as minimum targets per equipment category.
Required extension: oec:RecyclabilityAssessment rates a product's design potential before it is ever used. This class records what a treatment operator actually achieved on one item, which is the figure the WEEE Annex V targets are measured against. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org class covers treatment output accounting.
Battery Disposition
How the battery removed from a WEEE item was handled: its mass, whether it was treated separately as WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex VII requires, the treatment route, and the facility that carried it out.
Required extension: the eu/battery module describes a battery as a product under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542; this class records what a WEEE treatment operator did with the battery pulled out of a device, which is an electronics end-of-life observation. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org class covers it.
Hazardous Waste Record
Hazardous waste arising from the treatment of a WEEE item, with the consignment description and the reference of the treatment certificate issued for it.
Required extension: gs1:CertificationDetails models a product certification held by an organisation, not a per-consignment waste-treatment record. Waste-shipment records are governed by the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC alongside WEEE, and neither GS1, SEMICeu nor schema.org has a class for them.
Avoided Emissions Estimate
An estimate of the greenhouse-gas emissions avoided by recovering materials from a WEEE item instead of producing them primarily, with the calculation basis used.
Required extension: oec:CarbonFootprintDeclaration accounts for emissions caused along a product's lifecycle. Avoided emissions are a counterfactual credited to a recycling operation, not a lifecycle stage of the product, so they cannot be filed under that pattern; no GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org class carries them either.
Collection Method
How the waste item entered separate collection (retailer take-back, municipal collection point, producer scheme pick-up, ...).
E-waste concept per the separate-collection duties of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Articles 5 and 14. oec:separateCollectionInfo and oec:collectionPointDirectoryUrl publish where a consumer should hand the product in; this records which route one item actually took. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it.
Device Condition
Condition of the device as assessed when it was taken in for collection or sorting.
E-waste concept per the preparing-for-re-use and treatment duties of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8. schema:itemCondition is the nearest upstream term but ranges over the four retail OfferItemCondition codes, which cannot carry an intake assessment of a waste item.
Data Wiped
Whether user data held on the device was securely erased before it was passed on for re-use or treatment.
Data sanitisation is a precondition for preparing WEEE for re-use (WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8 and EN 50614) and for lawful processing of personal data under the GDPR. It is an operational assertion about one item; no GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term covers it.
Sorting Decision
Outcome of the sorting or inspection step: which treatment route the item was directed to, and why.
E-waste concept per the treatment duties of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8, which put preparing for re-use ahead of recycling. The decision is an observation recorded at a sorting facility; no GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it.
Hazardous Materials Identified
Materials or components found in the item that require selective treatment before bulk processing.
E-waste concept per the selective-treatment list of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex VII. oec:hasHazardousSubstances declares substances present in a product design; this reports what a treatment operator actually found in one waste item.
Handling Note
Instruction for handling a selectively treated material or component safely (for example removal before shredding).
E-waste concept per the selective-treatment requirements of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex VII. gs1:consumerHandlingStorageInfo is the nearest upstream term but addresses consumers handling a trade item, not a treatment operator handling a hazardous component.
Estimated Recoverable Materials
Material streams expected to be recoverable from the item, estimated before treatment.
E-waste concept supporting the recovery accounting of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex V. The estimate steers the treatment route and is compared afterwards with the measured result; no GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it.
Material Mass (grams)
Mass of this material stream in grams, either estimated as recoverable or measured after treatment.
E-waste concept supporting the recovery accounting of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex V. oec:massFraction carries a 0-1 fraction of a product, schema:weight and gs1:netWeight the weight of a trade item; none of them is the absolute mass of one recovered stream. Value in grams, following the unit-in-name convention of oec:carbonFootprintTotal (kg CO2e).
Recycling Process
The treatment or recycling process applied to the item.
E-waste concept per the treatment requirements of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8 and Annex VIII. gs1:packagingRecyclingProcessType is the nearest upstream term and is confined to packaging recycling process codes.
Recycling Facility
The authorised treatment operator that carried out the recycling step.
E-waste concept per the permitting and treatment duties of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8. The organisation itself is a gs1:Organization and the site a gs1:Place; what has no upstream term is the role of authorised WEEE treatment operator in a specific event.
Material Recovery Results
Measured outcome of the treatment operation on this item.
E-waste concept per the recovery targets of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex V. oec:hasRecyclabilityAssessment rates design potential; this reports achieved treatment output. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term covers it.
Total Input Mass (grams)
Mass in grams of the item that entered the treatment operation.
E-waste concept forming the denominator of the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex V recovery rates. gs1:netWeight is the weight of a trade item as sold, not the mass weighed in at a treatment facility. Value in grams.
Total Recovered Mass (grams)
Mass in grams recovered from the item across all output streams.
E-waste concept forming the numerator of the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex V recovery rates. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses recovered output mass. Value in grams.
Recovery Rate
Achieved recovery rate for the item: recovered mass divided by input mass (0-1 scale).
E-waste concept per the minimum recovery targets of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex V. Distinct from euelec:recoverabilityRate and oec:recyclabilityRate, which state a product's design potential before use; this is what one treatment operation achieved. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it.
Recycling Rate
Achieved rate of preparing for re-use and recycling for the item (0-1 scale), excluding energy recovery.
E-waste concept per the minimum "prepared for re-use and recycled" targets of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex V, which are set separately from the overall recovery target. Distinct from euelec:recyclabilityRate, which is the design-potential figure. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it.
Energy Recovery Rate
Fraction of the item's mass sent to energy recovery rather than material recycling (0-1 scale).
E-waste concept per WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex V, where energy recovery counts towards the recovery target but not towards the recycling target, so the two shares have to be reported apart. gs1:PackagingRecyclingProcessTypeCode-ENERGY_RECOVERABLE marks packaging as suitable for energy recovery and carries no achieved share.
How the battery removed from the item was handled.
E-waste concept per WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex VII, which requires batteries to be removed from separately collected WEEE. The battery product data itself lives in the eu/battery module; this records the end-of-life handling observed on the device event.
Battery Mass (grams)
Mass in grams of the battery removed from the item.
E-waste concept per WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex VII: the removed battery mass is booked against the battery stream rather than the WEEE recovery figures. gs1:netWeight is the weight of a trade item as sold. Value in grams.
Separately Treated
Whether the removed battery was routed to separate battery treatment as required, rather than into the bulk WEEE stream.
Compliance assertion for the selective-treatment requirement of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex VII. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it.
Treatment Facility
The site where the removed battery was treated, referenced by its GLN.
E-waste concept per the permitting requirements of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8. The site is a gs1:Place and its master data is resolver-served; the extension term states that this particular place acted as the downstream battery treatment site for this event.
Treatment Method
The treatment route applied to the removed battery (for example hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical recycling).
E-waste concept per WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Annex VII read with the recycling efficiency requirements of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 Annex XII for battery treatment. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses a treatment route.
Hazardous Waste Generated
Whether the operation produced hazardous waste.
Operational assertion tied to the treatment duties of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8 and the classification rules of the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it. Use euelec:hasHazardousWasteRecord when the consignment itself is described.
The hazardous waste consignment arising from this operation.
E-waste concept per the treatment duties of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8 read with the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term covers a waste consignment record.
Waste Description
Description of the hazardous waste consignment and where it was sent.
E-waste concept per the treatment duties of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8. schema:description is the generic web fallback for any textual description; this term is the narrower waste-consignment description that a treatment record has to carry.
Treatment Certificate
Reference of the certificate issued for the treatment or disposal of the hazardous waste consignment.
E-waste concept per the treatment duties of WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU Article 8 read with the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC. gs1:certificationIdentification identifies a product or organisation certification, not a per-consignment waste treatment certificate.
Avoided Emissions
Estimate of the greenhouse-gas emissions avoided by recovering materials from this item.
Circularity-benefit concept supporting the ESPR 2024/1781 Article 7 recycled-content and circularity parameters. oec:hasEmissionsPerformance accounts for emissions caused by the product; avoided emissions are credited to the recovery operation, so they are reported apart. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses them.
Avoided Emissions (kg CO2e)
Estimated avoided emissions in kilograms of CO2 equivalent.
Circularity-benefit figure supporting the ESPR 2024/1781 Article 7 circularity parameters. oec:carbonFootprintTotal is the emissions the product caused; this is the counterfactual credited to recovering its materials. Value in kg CO2 equivalent, following the unit-in-name convention of oec:carbonFootprintTotal.
Calculation Method
Basis on which the avoided-emissions figure was calculated.
Methodology statement for the avoided-emissions estimate. oec:carbonFootprintMethodology is the nearest term and takes a URI of a published footprint methodology; an avoided-emissions calculation basis is usually stated as text and is not one of those methodologies.
Repair Type
The kind of repair performed (battery replacement, display replacement, board-level repair, ...).
Repair-history concept per the repairability parameters of ESPR 2024/1781 Annex I and Directive (EU) 2024/1799 on the promotion of repair. oec:RepairabilityInfo describes how repairable a product is; this records what was actually repaired. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it.
Repair Description
Description of the repair performed and the fault it addressed.
Repair-history concept per ESPR 2024/1781 Annex I and Directive (EU) 2024/1799. schema:description is the generic web fallback for any textual description; this term is the narrower repair-record description.
Repair Technician
The technician or service organisation that performed the repair, as recorded on the repair event.
Repair-history concept per ESPR 2024/1781 Annex I and Directive (EU) 2024/1799. oec:RepairProvider with oec:repairProviderName lists the repair network a manufacturer publishes for a product; this names who actually carried out one repair. Where the repairer is an identified party, prefer the EPCIS readPoint / source GLN, whose master data is resolver-served.
Removal Reason
Why the component was removed from the device.
Repair-history concept per ESPR 2024/1781 Annex I and Directive (EU) 2024/1799. The reason a part failed feeds the durability and repairability parameters; no GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it.
Replaced Component Passport
The component taken out of the device, referenced by the identifier its own Digital Product Passport is keyed on.
Nested-passport concept per the ESPR 2024/1781 Article 9 data-carrier requirements and the CIRPASS-2 multi-component pattern. gs1:dpp links a product to its passport; the repair event additionally has to say which of the two component passports is the one removed and which the one installed, a direction gs1:dpp does not carry.
Installed Component Passport
The component fitted into the device, referenced by the identifier its own Digital Product Passport is keyed on.
Nested-passport concept per the ESPR 2024/1781 Article 9 data-carrier requirements and the CIRPASS-2 multi-component pattern. Counterpart of euelec:hasReplacedComponentPassport; gs1:dpp carries no removed/installed direction.
Warranty Status
Whether the device was under warranty at the time of the event.
Repair-record concept per ESPR 2024/1781 Annex I and Directive (EU) 2024/1799. gs1:manufacturersWarranty with gs1:WarrantyPromise carries the warranty terms of the product model, which are master data; no GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term states whether the warranty was in force for one item when an event happened.
Repair Cost
Amount charged to the owner for this repair. Zero where the repair was covered by a warranty.
Repair-record concept per Directive (EU) 2024/1799, which makes repair cost central to the repair-or-replace decision. The amount itself is a gs1:PriceSpecification; euelec:hasSparePartPrice is the list price of a part, whereas this is what one repair actually cost.
Next Disposition
The intended onward route for the removed component after this event.
The EPCIS/CBV disposition field states the business condition of the object as of the event; the WEEE treatment chain also needs the intended next route (re-use, refurbishment, WEEE category recycling) which the CBV disposition vocabulary does not model. No GS1, SEMICeu or schema.org term expresses it.
