The compliant layer everyone else skips
The construction industry is being asked to make its product data digital. The new Construction Products Regulation (EU 2024/3110) will require Declarations of Performance and Conformity to be machine-readable: and to reference standardised property definitions, not free text.
Most tools racing into this space build the passport and skip the foundation. They produce a digital document without the one thing the regulation actually turns on: a data dictionary compliant with ISO 23386 and ISO 23387, where every declared property has a shared, referenceable meaning.
Dictagon starts at that foundation.
We convert manufacturer product data into declarations where every data point references a compliant dictionary: the layer that makes a declaration interoperable, machine-readable, and ready for what comes next: the Digital Product Passport, BIM, and environmental reporting. Get the data layer right once, and it serves all of them.
The layer we build sits beneath a passport generator rather than replacing one: structured product data with a dictionary reference on every declared property. A generator needs that data to exist before it can produce anything a receiving system can read.
What we do
- Readiness.
- We show a manufacturer exactly where their product data stands against what the new rules will require. What already matches standardised properties, what doesn't, and what the path looks like.
- Conversion.
- We turn a catalogue of declarations into structured, dictionary-referenced, machine-readable data, at scale, not one document at a time.
- Continuity.
- Standards evolve. We keep declarations aligned as harmonised specifications are published and revised, so compliance is maintained rather than rebuilt.
Built on real infrastructure
Dictagon builds on PDTs.pt: a live, ISO 23386/23387-compliant product data dictionary developed with Portuguese industry under the national standardisation committee. It is open, it is real, and it already carries validated property definitions linked to the wider data ecosystem, including buildingSMART Data Dictionary (bSDD/IFC) and the ISO 22057 standard for environmental data. That foundation is why our declarations reference something standardised rather than something invented.
Honest by construction
The DoPC standard is prEN 18357, at draft stage with CEN/TC 442/WG 12. Its full title is worth reading: a methodology and criteria to develop data templates. That is the discipline this company is built on. What we generate is versioned against the current text and regenerated when it publishes. The Digital Product Passport standards are a different matter. EN 18216, EN 18219, EN 18220, EN 18221, EN 18222 and EN 18223 were published by CEN in May 2026 and cited in the EU Official Journal on 15 July 2026, and the EU DPP Registry has been live since 20 July 2026. We build to those as published standards. Under CPR 2024 the DoPC is eventually integrated into the product passport, so the two are one path rather than alternatives.
