Coming under ESPR · prepare now

Get your textiles Digital Product Passport ready — before the deadline lands.

Apparel is a priority group under the EU ESPR. The textile delegated act is expected around 2027, with enforcement anticipated from roughly 2029. Brands that map their fibre, care and supply-chain data now will be ready — not scrambling.

What the textiles DPP will require

Roughly 35–53 data points — start mapping now.

The Commission's preparatory work points to a clear data set. None of it is a surprise — but reaching Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers takes time, which is why early movers win.

Fibre composition & originMaterial make-up (ISO 1833) and country of origin.
Durability & careCare and repair instructions plus durability metrics.
Recycled content & recyclabilityRecycled input and end-of-life recyclability scoring.
Chemicals of concern (SVHC)Substances of concern flagged at batch level.
Three levels of data

Model, batch and item — handled in one engine.

The textile DPP is proposed across three granularity levels. Our resolver serves all three from a single GS1 Digital Link, so you're ready whether identifiers are per-model today or per-item tomorrow.

Model level

The style

Fibre composition, care, recyclability, footprint and conformity — the shared truth for the SKU.

Batch level

The production run

Producer & facility, chemicals of concern, test data and certification for that batch.

Item level

The individual garment

A unique identifier per piece (voluntary today) — ready for resale, repair and circularity.

The compliance-isolation boundary

One QR. The passport and the brand, kept apart.

The regulated passport view stays clean and audience-scoped; your styling, resale and repair content lives in a separate, consent-based layer. Compliant and commercial — without the two ever mixing.

Passport view
  • Composition, care, durability & recyclability
  • Per-field visibility (public vs authority-only)
  • All 24 official EU languages, auto-detected
  • No marketing in the regulated view

Audit-ready and standards-native.

Engagement view · the living label
  • Styling, provenance & the maker's story
  • Repair, resale & take-back — circular by design
  • Campaigns & drops — change any day, no reprint
  • Consent-based — only if the wearer opts in

Your brand relationship, kept lawful.

How it works

Ready in three steps.

Uses the GS1 codes and label real estate you already have.

1

Map your data

Bring composition, care, durability and supply-chain data into one passport — model, batch or item.

2

Add the GS1 QR

Print a standard GS1 Digital Link QR onto the care or hang tag — no new hardware.

3

Publish & evolve

Go live now with a voluntary passport; flip on mandatory fields the moment the act lands.

Why start now

The clock is already running.

Supply-chain data mapping is the long pole. The transition window is short once the act is adopted.

~2027

Delegated act expected

The textile-specific ESPR delegated act is anticipated around Q4 2027.

+18 months

Transition window

A minimum ~18-month period follows before mandatory application.

~2029

Enforcement anticipated

Mandatory textile DPP expected no earlier than mid-2029 — early movers are ready.

Built for cross-border retail

Every EU market, in its own language.

The passport is served in all 24 official EU languages, detected on scan — plus Catalan, Turkish, Hebrew and Arabic with automatic right-to-left layout.

Not a single-purpose tool

Powered by the same universal engine.

Your textile passport runs on the identical GS1 Digital Link resolver behind the whole DSR Protocol platform. The same engine handles wine e-labels today and battery passports tomorrow — so as ESPR expands, you add product groups without changing systems.
