INDUSTRIESTextiles
Textiles & Apparel
Textiles are first in line for the digital product passport — and the same collection already carries substance restrictions, packaging rules, and a brand asking for a per-garment footprint.
TRADE LANE
Non-EU mill, dyehouse or garment manufacturer selling fabric or finished apparel into EU brands and importers.
FIRST THING THAT BREAKS
An OEKO-TEX certificate is sent where REACH asks for the SVHC determination on the article itself.
REGULATIONS THAT REACH YOU
What each of these wants from you.
Your sector is a starting point, not a determination. Which regulations reach a company depends on its products — that is what the platform works out.
Four regulations across one collection. Composition answers three of them; the fourth is about the bag it ships in.
REACHDyes, finishes and coatings screened against the candidate list at 0.1% w/w per article — with the Article 33 communication that follows.OPEN →ESPR / DPPTextiles are named first in the working plan: expect a registered passport carrying composition, recycled content and durability.OPEN →PPWRPolybags, hangtags and cartons — heavy metals within 100 ppm combined, tested on the unit as it ships, inks and labels included.OPEN →Scope 3A per-garment or per-metre footprint with a stated boundary, usable in your brand’s own reporting.OPEN →
ON THE GROUND
Four things a mill hits in the first month.
01A certificate is not a determinationOEKO-TEX tests to its own standard; REACH asks what is in the article, against a list that changes twice a year.
02The passport reaches this category firstTextiles lead the ESPR working plan, so the data structure is worth building before the act lands.
03The polybag is regulated separately from the garmentPackaging carries its own substance limits and its own declaration, signed by whoever places it on the market.
04Dye lots vary, declarations do notSubstance figures are stated per recipe; the buyer asks per shipment.
