Use this page if iron, steel, or aluminium data must travel through your supply chain into final products.
Iron and steel are listed as the first-ranked intermediate product with an indicative adoption timeline of 2026 and EUR 152 billion EU market size in 2023. Aluminium is listed as an intermediate product with indicative adoption in 2027 and EUR 40 billion EU market size in 2019.
The working plan says intermediate-product rules can affect not only the material producer but also final products made from regulated intermediate products. That makes data handoff and evidence continuity central.
Steel operators should prepare product grades, origin and supplier records, carbon and energy evidence, recycled-content claims where relevant, CBAM/ETS-adjacent records, and downstream data formats.
Aluminium operators should map recycled content, emissions evidence, raw material origin, facility data, supplier records, and product-level claims that downstream customers may need.
No final passport field list exists for metals yet, so treat any published schema as speculative until the delegated acts provide one. The useful work today is timeline clarity, source links, and data readiness.
