Upper
Textile
Record the supplier’s material description in the upper-material field.
Use case · Footwear
Footwear models and material details in one place.
Organize product identity and available material information for each model. The optional footwear profile has separate fields for the upper, lining and sock, and outsole.
From an internal record to a selected public view
Keep available material declarations internal. Distinguish customer or supplier statements from information supported by a linked document.
- 01Record a draft and its sources
Start a private draft with a name, SKU and category. Choose the matching optional profile where useful. Record sources and the last review date; a profile defines platform fields, not legal approval.
- 02Organize supporting evidence internally
Link available documents to the corresponding details. A clean malware scan permits file access; it does not verify the content or the accuracy of product information.
- 03Share a selected version
Review field visibility and deliberately publish a version. Its link and QR code remain tied to that record; later changes are published as a new version.
Illustrative data example
Coast sneaker · EXAMPLE-S01
A partial record with fictional example details, not a tested product or a published passport. Replace the examples with traceable information from your business.
Lining and sock
Textile
Keep the available details for these components separate from the upper.
Outsole
Other material
Use the actual material description and link it to an internal source.
Legislation and important dates
Sources checked:
Currently applicable
Directive 94/11/EC provides for national labelling measures to apply from 23 March 1996. For covered consumer footwear these concern upper, lining/sock and outsole materials, subject to exceptions and thresholds. This is not a DPP duty.
Planning and DPP scope
The ESPR working plan provides for a separate footwear study by the end of 2027. The apparel timetable must not be treated as a footwear duty start date.
Guidance, not a complete legal assessment: product, role, market, exceptions and current amendments matter. Example platform fields are not a list of legally mandatory data. DPP Direct guarantees neither legal compliance nor certification.
The examples describe existing platform features. A category alone does not determine a DPP duty for a specific product. The platform does not guarantee legal compliance, certification or complete coverage of sector-specific requirements.
Private drafts can be prepared immediately. Free publishing with up to 5 active passports requires business review and assignment of a Free workspace. Manual review is available without a registry entry.
