The article examines the transformation of quality expertise and certification systems under the influence ofsupply chain digitalization, new European regulatory requirements and the growing demand for transparentproduct information. The study clarifies the essence of a digital product passport as an integrated dataset onorigin, composition, conformity, repairability, movement and other product characteristics that becomesaccessible through a unique identifier and a machine-readable data carrier. Based on the analysis of recentacademic publications, EU legal acts, GS1 standards and Ukrainian scholarly contributions, the papersystematizes the regulatory, technological and organizational prerequisites for the implementation of digitalquality expertise.The paper argues that digital certification should not be reduced to the simple replacement of paper certificateswith electronic copies. Its real effect appears when product identification, traceability data, laboratory results,supplier documents, logistics events and compliance records are integrated into a single digital evidenceenvironment. In such an environment, expertise shifts from ex post verification of fragmented documents tocontinuous risk-based monitoring supported by data analytics. This makes it possible to identify incomplete oroutdated certificates, detect inconsistencies between batches and declarations, strengthen recall proceduresand provide consumers, auditors and market surveillance bodies with more reliable product information.A phased implementation model for trade enterprises is proposed. It includes the standardization of identifiers,the deployment of traceability infrastructure, the creation of an electronic product dossier, the introduction ofcompliance analytics and alert mechanisms, and the development of cybersecurity controls and internalgovernance rules.
