No textile Digital Product Passport is mandatory today. The Commission plans to adopt the delegated act for textiles in Q3–Q4 2027, and businesses will then have a transition period of at least 18 months.
The infrastructure is arriving first: the EU Registry is live, six harmonised standards are published, and batteries are the first product group with a mandatory passport, from 18 February 2027.
The Commission plans to adopt the ESPR delegated act for textiles in Q4 2027; its general timeline says Q3–Q4 2027 and notes that timelines may evolve. The delegated act will define which textile products are covered, what data the passport contains, how it is accessed and how it is marked on the product. Until it is adopted, the data requirements are not final.

The Commission states that, after an ESPR delegated act is adopted, economic operators have a transition period of at least 18 months.

If the delegated act is adopted in Q4 2027 and the transition lasts 18 months, a textile passport could become mandatory in the second quarter of 2029 at the earliest. This is our arithmetic from the two facts above, not a date published by the Commission, and it can change.

The Commission's DPP Registry became operational on 20 July 2026, together with a test environment. It is an index: it stores unique product identifiers and registration data, not the passport itself, which stays with the economic operator or a DPP service provider. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1778, which sets its rules, entered into force on 6 August 2026.

The Registry's User Guide (version 1.03) says that successful registration is not currently available, because the semantic catalogue for the first product group, batteries, has not yet been defined. The guide names batteries as the first product group for which registration will be available.

Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/1736 published the references of six harmonised standards in the Official Journal on 15 July 2026: EN 18216 (data exchange), EN 18219 (unique identifiers), EN 18220 (data carriers), EN 18221 (storage and archiving), EN 18222 (APIs) and EN 18223 (system interoperability). The Commission timeline lists a decision on the remaining two standards for September 2026.

Digital product passports become mandatory for certain batteries, including electric vehicle, light means of transport and industrial batteries, from 18 February 2027 under the Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. Batteries are the first product group and show how the rules are phased in.
Sources
The Registry will keep a list of verified DPP service providers (Regulation 2026/1778). The Commission timeline lists a delegated act with the requirements for service providers in Q2–Q3 2027 (it appears under both quarters). The requirements themselves are not yet defined.
