Manufacturers should create a digital product passport to provide information on the compliance of toys with this Regulation and with other Union law applicable to toys. They should keep the digital product passport up to date and make any necessary changes when required. The digital product passport should replace the EU declaration of conformity pursuant to Directive 2009/48/EC and include the elements necessary to assess the conformity of the toy with the applicable requirements and harmonised standards or other specifications. Furthermore, in order to reduce the administrative burden, it should be possible to use the digital product passport pursuant to this Regulation to comply with the obligation to draw up an EU declaration of conformity for toys which fall within the scope of other Union law requiring an EU declaration of conformity. Where the digital product passport is used as an EU declaration of conformity pursuant to other Union law applicable to the toy, manufacturers and other economic operators should be deemed to comply with their respective obligations in relation to the EU declaration of conformity pursuant to that other Union law.
