What the ESPR delegated act requires: ~75 estimated fields
ESPR 2024/1781 — Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation · ISO 1833, EN ISO 13688, ISO 10993, EN 13249
ESPR-architecture form — category-specific mandatory fields will be confirmed and added when the delegated act is published.
Fibre Composition
10Technical fibre specifications. Aramid, carbon fibre, PTFE, glass fibre blends. ISO 1833 test certification for each component.
Environmental Footprint (PEF)
14Product Environmental Footprint per EU methodology. Extended service life changes LCA calculations significantly for technical textiles vs fashion.
Performance Specifications
16Tensile strength, tear resistance, abrasion resistance, thermal resistance. EN ISO 13688 for protective clothing. ISO 10993 biocompatibility for medical.
Chemical Substances
10REACH SVHC declarations. Flame retardant chemical data. Antimicrobial treatment declarations. Chemical safety data sheets for coatings and laminates.
Circularity
8End-of-life management for multi-layer composites. Recyclability of coated and laminated technical fabrics. Recycled content in synthetic technical fibres.
Supply Chain Transparency
8Speciality fibre sourcing. Coating and lamination suppliers. OEM qualification documentation. Traceability through technical conversion processes.
Safety & Compliance
6CE marking for PPE. Medical device classification. Automotive OEM homologation. EN standards compliance certificates.
Product Identification
3GS1 product identifiers. Batch and lot traceability. Technical specification sheet linking.
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.
- Performance test reports (tensile, tear, abrasion)
- Biocompatibility certificates (ISO 10993)
- Automotive OEM specification sheets
- EN standards compliance certificates
- Chemical safety data sheets (coatings, laminates)
- REACH SVHC declarations
- Flame retardancy test reports
- Environmental footprint / LCA studies
AI insight: Technical textiles often involve multi-layer composites with different materials at each layer. A single automotive fabric may combine polyester base, polyurethane coating, and flame retardant treatment — each requiring separate compliance data. AI handles the complexity.
Your compliance timeline
Audit your product portfolio. Identify which technical textiles fall under ESPR scope and which have sector-specific standards.
Upload performance test reports and existing EN standards compliance documentation. AI extracts technical specifications.
Supplier data collection. Speciality fibre producers, coating suppliers, lamination partners submit via supplier portal.
PEF / LCA studies for extended-service-life products. Chemical substance mapping for coatings and treatments.
Monitor delegated act finalisation. Platform adapts automatically to any requirement changes.
Expected mandatory deadline. Every technical textile on the EU market must have a compliant Digital Product Passport.
What compliance costs
Compliance Consultancy
€40,000–€150,000 implementation. Technical complexity and sector-specific standards increase scope significantly.
Enterprise Platform
€100,000–€400,000/year. ERP and PLM integration. Automotive OEM compliance portals. 12-24 month implementation.
Traceable
€0 to start. AI handles multi-standard compliance data. Supplier portal included. API available for ERP integration on Growth plan.
Technical textile manufacturers with automotive OEM portal requirements may need API integration on the Growth plan (€1,500/month). For most technical textile companies, the free plan provides the fastest start.
Supply chain data requirements
Raw Fibre (Synthetic / Specialty)
Aramid, carbon fibre, PTFE, glass fibre, high-tenacity polyester. Speciality fibre sourcing with technical specifications and certifications.
Yarn Production
Technical yarn specifications. Twist, tenacity, elongation data. Production facility and quality control documentation.
Technical Weaving / Nonwoven
Weave construction for load-bearing. Nonwoven bonding methods (needle-punch, spunbond). Weight, thickness, porosity data.
Coating / Lamination
PU, PVC, silicone, PTFE coatings. Lamination adhesive chemistry. Chemical substance declarations for each layer.
Finishing / Treatment
Flame retardant application. Antimicrobial treatment. Water repellency. Chemical inputs and REACH compliance for each treatment.
Component Integration
Cutting and assembly into final products. OEM specifications. Quality testing against sector-specific standards (automotive, medical, geotechnical).
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.
