DPP Data Preparation & Validation — Digital Product Passport Data Card

Collect the minimum DPP fields, run the 100% composition check, see the missing fields and get the “DPP-ready” status.

Formula

Composition valid ⇔ Σ(fibre percentages) = 100.0 (tolerance ±0.1). Missing-field count = Required fields − Filled fields. Required minimum = fibre composition + recycled content (%) + country of origin + chemical compliance (REACH/SVHC) + durability/recyclability; certificates (GRS/OEKO-TEX/RCS) are supporting. DPP-ready ⇔ composition valid AND missing fields = 0. INFORMATIONAL; NOT formal compliance advice — scope and dates must be confirmed against official regulation.

Worked example

Input: 60% polyester + 40% cotton → Σ = 100.0 → composition VALID. Recycled content 30%, origin provided, certificates yes, REACH/SVHC and durability provided → 5/5 required themes filled → missing fields = 0 → DPP-ready = YES. Counter-example: enter 55% + 40% and Σ = 95.0 ≠ 100.0 → composition INVALID, the card is flagged “not DPP-ready”.

Informational; not formal compliance advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is a DPP?

A DPP (Digital Product Passport) is a structured, machine-readable record (typically via a QR/data carrier) that presents a product’s identity, material composition, origin, recycled content, chemical compliance, and durability/recyclability in a standard format. It becomes mandatory under the EU Ecodesign (ESPR) framework.

Which data is mandatory in a textile DPP?

This tool covers the minimum themes: fibre composition (total 100%), recycled content (%), country of origin, chemical compliance (REACH/SVHC note), and durability/recyclability. Certificates (GRS/OEKO-TEX/RCS) are supporting. The exact field list will be set by the textile delegated act.

When does a DPP become mandatory?

The ESPR framework regulation is in force; textiles are a priority product group, and requirements phase in via delegated acts across 2026–2027. For exact dates, the official EU regulation governs. This tool is informational, not compliance advice.
