Not in scope
You're out of scope for now

DPP rules only apply to products placed on the EU market. If that changes - if you start selling into Europe, or someone downstream from you does - come back and we'll help you work out what applies.

Not in scope yet
You're not in scope yet, but you will be

DPP obligations kick in when your products hit the EU market. The 2027 deadline gives you time, but the data you'll need - fibre composition, supplier identifiers, certifications - is going to take time to collect.

Start talking to your suppliers and customers. Ask them what their strategy is, if anything, around DPPs. To succeed selling in Europe, you'll need to have the necessary data in place.

Limited obligation
You don't create the DPP, but you need to make sure one exists

Before you put a product on the EU market, as of 2027, you'll need a valid DPP in place. If there isn't one, you can't sell it. The brands and manufacturers you source from are responsible for creating it. Start asking them what they're doing about it, and if they're struggling, put us in touch. We're here to help producers.

No direct obligation
No direct obligation, but the standards matter

The ESPR requires DPP data to be built on open standards, in machine-readable formats, transferable through open networks without vendor lock-in. Any platform handling DPP data needs to be built this way.

open-dpp is a reference site built on these principles - fork it, build on it, use it as your baseline, or open a discussion on GitHub and we'll respond.

Textiles / Manufacturer
You're responsible for creating and maintaining the DPP
You make textiles and sell them in the EU, or are upstream of this happening, which makes you the responsible party under ESPR. The deadline is 2027. The final delegated act is still pending but the data requirements are largely known - you can start getting ready.
Your next steps
  1. 01 Understand the 18 data fields you'll need to provide, and where each one comes from in your supply chain. Textile schema →
  2. 02 Map which suppliers hold which data - fibre composition from mills, facility identifiers from factories, certifications from auditors. Responsibility matrix →
  3. 03 Track the delegated act - the exact compliance deadline and final field requirements land here. Legislation tracker →

Textiles / Importer
You're responsible for the DPP as the EU importer
You bring textile products into the EU market and the original manufacturer isn't EU-established. That puts the obligation on you - you take on manufacturer-equivalent responsibilities, including creating and maintaining the DPP.
Your next steps
  1. 01 Confirm whether the original manufacturer has an EU legal entity - if not, the obligation is yours. Responsibility matrix →
  2. 02 Understand the 18 data fields you'll need to compile - start asking your suppliers what they can provide. Textile schema →
  3. 03 Track the delegated act for the exact deadline. Legislation tracker →

Mixed products / Manufacturer
The DPP obligation applies to the textile parts of what you make
You make products that combine textiles with other materials and sell them in the EU. The DPP obligation covers the textile components. The data requirements and the 2027 deadline are the same as for pure textile products.
Your next steps
  1. 01 Understand which of the 18 data fields apply to the textile elements of your products. Textile schema →
  2. 02 Map which suppliers hold which data across your range. Responsibility matrix →
  3. 03 Track the delegated act for the compliance deadline. Legislation tracker →

Mixed products / Importer
You're responsible for the DPP on the textile elements you import
You bring mixed-material products into the EU market and the original manufacturer isn't EU-established. The DPP obligation covers the textile components - and as the importer, you're the one responsible for meeting it.
Your next steps
  1. 01 Confirm whether the original manufacturer has an EU legal entity - if not, the obligation is yours. Responsibility matrix →
  2. 02 Understand the 18 data fields required for the textile components - start asking your suppliers what they can provide. Textile schema →
