The rule, so far

What we know, and what we don't.

The delegated act for textiles does not exist yet. The Commission plans it for 2027, with a transition period of at least 18 months. Our profile follows the Commission's preparatory study until the act is adopted.

Provisional, and labeled so
Each field records its source and status, so you can see what comes from a study and what comes from law.
Comparable test results
Each result carries its method, laboratory and verification status, so like is compared with like.
Built to change
When the act is adopted, a new profile version follows. Your codes and records stay in place.

Provenance

Every field says where it came from.

While the delegated act is pending, each field records the document behind it. You can always tell a study from a law.

How it works

Start with one style.

  1. 1

    Add the garment

    Start from the model: category, identifiers, manufacturer and facility.

  2. 2

    Prove what it is

    Add fibres that sum to 100%, test results, substances and care.

  3. 3

    Publish and sew in

    Print the code on the care label or a sewn-in tag. Add serial-level items if you want a record for each garment.

Questions, answered plainly

Do textile passports apply today?

No. The delegated act is planned for 2027, followed by a transition period of at least 18 months. No textile passport is required by law today.

Why prepare before the act is adopted?

Collecting fibre, test and facility data from suppliers takes seasons. The structure can be ready before the rule is.

What happens when the act is adopted?

We publish a new profile version and document which fields changed. Your printed codes keep resolving.

Can I add a passport per garment?

Yes. The profile works at model level, with batch-level test results, and serial-level items can hold a status and dated events for each garment.

This profile is provisional. It is based on the Commission's preparatory study and will change when the ESPR delegated act for textiles is adopted. EUlabel provides software that supports passport and e-label workflows. Producers remain responsible for data accuracy and compliance with applicable legislation.
