What the ESPR delegated act requires: ~85 estimated fields
ESPR 2024/1781 — Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation · ISO 1833, ISO 12947, OEKO-TEX, GOTS
ESPR-architecture form — category-specific mandatory fields will be confirmed and added when the delegated act is published.
Fibre Composition
14Full fibre breakdown by percentage. ISO 1833 test certification. Multi-material declarations for blended fabrics. Country of origin for each fibre type.
Environmental Footprint (PEF)
16Product Environmental Footprint per EU PEF methodology. Climate change, water use, resource depletion, eutrophication. Lifecycle assessment from fibre to end-of-life.
Durability & Quality
12Pilling resistance, abrasion resistance (ISO 12947), colour fastness (ISO 105), dimensional stability after washing. Minimum performance thresholds.
Chemical Substances
10REACH SVHC declarations. Restricted substance list compliance. OEKO-TEX certification status. Concentration and location of hazardous chemicals.
Circularity
12Recyclability assessment. Recycled content percentage (pre-consumer and post-consumer). Design for disassembly. Mono-material vs blended recyclability score.
Supply Chain Transparency
10Tier 1-4 supplier identification. Country of manufacturing for each process stage. Due diligence reports. Social audit results.
Care Instructions
6Machine-readable care labels. Washing temperature, drying, ironing instructions. Expected garment lifetime in washes.
Product Identification
5GS1 product identifiers. Unique serialisation. QR code linking to Digital Product Passport. Brand and model information.
How AI handles your textile documentation
Upload your existing documents. AI reads each one, identifies compliance-relevant data, and maps it to the correct ESPR field with source-linked evidence.
- Fibre test certificates (ISO 1833)
- LCA / PEF environmental footprint studies
- REACH SVHC declarations
- OEKO-TEX / GOTS certificates
- Bills of Materials (fabric, trims, accessories)
- Supplier audit reports (social and environmental)
- Care label specifications
- Durability test reports (pilling, abrasion, colour fastness)
AI insight: Fashion supply chains are among the most fragmented in any industry. A single garment may involve fibre suppliers, spinning mills, weavers, dyers, and CMT factories across 4-6 countries. AI maps documents from every tier into the correct DPP fields.
Your compliance timeline
Map fibre composition data across your product range. Identify which garments use blended fibres requiring detailed breakdown.
Upload fibre test certificates and existing sustainability reports. AI extracts composition and environmental data.
Supplier data collection. Invite spinning mills, weavers, dyers, and CMT factories to submit via the supplier portal.
PEF / LCA environmental footprint studies. Durability testing for pilling, abrasion, colour fastness.
Monitor delegated act finalisation. Platform adapts automatically to any requirement changes.
Expected mandatory deadline. Every garment on the EU market must have a compliant Digital Product Passport.
What compliance costs
Compliance Consultancy
€30,000–€120,000 implementation. Manual data collection from fragmented supply chains. Per-SKU ongoing costs.
Enterprise Platform
€80,000–€300,000/year. PLM integration. 12-18 month implementation. For large fashion houses with 5,000+ SKUs.
Traceable
€0 to start. AI extraction handles multi-tier supply chain data. Supplier portal included. Free plan covers 10 outputs/month.
If you are a large fashion house with complex PLM integration requirements and 10,000+ SKUs, an enterprise platform may be necessary. For most fashion brands, Traceable provides the fastest and most cost-effective path to compliance.
Supply chain data requirements
Fibre Suppliers
Cotton, polyester, wool, viscose, elastane sourcing. Country of origin. Organic or recycled fibre certifications. GOTS and OCS documentation.
Spinning Mills
Yarn production data. Blend ratios. Spinning method. Energy consumption and waste data for PEF calculations.
Weaving / Knitting Mills
Fabric construction data. Weight, density, weave type. Production facility location and environmental data.
Dyeing & Finishing
Chemical inputs. Dye class and application method. Water and energy consumption. REACH-restricted substance declarations.
Cut-Make-Trim (CMT)
Garment assembly location. Trim and accessory materials. Social audit reports. Worker welfare documentation.
Garment Assembly
Final product specifications. Care label data. Packaging materials. Quality control and durability test results.
Suppliers build their compliance profile once and share data with each connected operator on their own terms. When a manufacturer they work with requests specific data, sharing is instant — scoped to that relationship only, never shared beyond it without the supplier's active consent.
Built on large language models. Reads your textile documentation and extracts structured data. Source-linked. Auditable.
Certification bodies verify your textile compliance records directly on the platform. Evidence-linked review. Immutable audit trails.
The same engine handles ESPR textiles, Battery Regulation, tyres, and electronics. One account covers current and future regulations.
Actively monitored: We are actively monitoring every amendment and delegated act update from the European Commission. The platform adapts to regulatory changes in close to real time — you do not need to track regulation updates yourself.
