Frequently asked questions
Is a Digital Product Passport required for textiles?
No passport data is legally required yet for textiles. ESPR (EU) 2024/1781 is a framework regulation — it mandates no product data until a delegated act is adopted. The Commission plans a textiles delegated act; until it is adopted, there is no date from which a textile passport is required. The checker shows what other laws already require and what to expect when the act is adopted.
What does 'required by other laws' mean for textiles?
The checker shows the data points other EU laws already require, and where: the fibre composition on the label (Textile Labelling Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011), the information REACH Art. 33 requires when an article contains a Candidate List substance above 0.1%, and the trader and product information in an online offer (General Product Safety Regulation, Art. 19). None of these laws requires a passport; the checker shows whether yours carries the data too.
What data would a textile passport need to carry?
The TracePass textile template captures the fields anticipated under ESPR for textiles. The checker shows them as 'Not required yet' — you can prepare, but you are not in breach if they are absent today.
