Key points at a glance
- Start now with reliable material and supplier data.
- Model colours and sizes without unnecessary duplication.
- Do not confuse an indicative timetable with a binding start date.
Data that can be prepared now
A pilot can capture identity, fibre composition, origin, production sites, care, repair, durability, certificates and reuse or recycling information.
Manage variants and suppliers
Keep shared information at model level and differences at variant or batch level; require suppliers to provide defined fields with source, validity and approval status.
Move from pilot to scale
Choose one manageable product line, standardise the bill of materials, test translations and QR placement, and turn findings into supplier templates.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a final mandatory-field list for all textiles?
No. The ESPR provides the framework; product-specific measures will define the concrete requirements.
Is 2027 already the binding start date?
No. The working plan indicates adoption of a measure in 2027; application dates will come from the later legal act.
