questions to solve a passport, not 22 fields to fill in
Live in one click
Answer the few facts only you can know and the passport goes live on dppcode.org. Q4 2027 is the Commission's indicative timing for the textile act. Textile DPP timeline and status
70%+ and 5: in current textile testing, richer existing product records reached about 71% of scoped decisions settled before the merchant answered anything, and the test flow averaged 5.1 initial product-specific confirmations per product. How we measured it
No GTIN yet? GS1 UK issues GTINs in the UK, with the barcodes that carry them. Your own GTINs are recognised by retailers and marketplaces worldwide, and they're what the GS1 Digital Link on a passport is built from.
From what you hold to a live textile passport
No forms. You start with what you already have, and the three steps are the same whether that's a full catalogue or one photo of a care label.

The engine
A passport engine, not another compliance form.
The engine does the research. You confirm the facts. Every textile passport runs through the same machine, and this is what it brings to each one.
- 22dedicated resolvers, one for every attribute in the textile model
- 12governed calculation methods, Ecobalyse among them
- 24official sources in its register, from EUR-Lex to HMRC and GS1
- 9evidence routes tried in a fixed order, with your input near the end
- 175plausibility rules checking its own answers
- 4evidence states, so nothing has to be faked
- 442decisions made across 10 test products before the merchant answered anything
- 5,000+automated tests behind the engine
We resolve. We don't just autofill.
Composition and identity are the whole game
Composition arrives as a label claim, a supplier declaration and sometimes a test report, and those three don't always agree. Identity decides whether the passport belongs to the style, the colourway, the size or the batch, and that decision changes how many passports you end up with.
Get those two wrong and everything downstream inherits the error. Get them right and most of the remaining work is bookkeeping the engine can do.
A GTIN helps most. It's the single thing that lets the engine resolve far more of the record, and you'll need one soon anyway. Check a GTIN
What the 22 attributes are, exactly
The textile act under ESPR hasn't been adopted, so there's no settled statutory field list for textiles.
The 22 ActivateDigital tracks are a readiness and governance model: product facts worth establishing and evidencing now, so most of your evidence is already governed when the final requirements land.
It isn't a draft of the schema and doesn't promise to cover every field the act eventually names. Current textile fibre law, Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011, governs fibre names and composition labelling. That's separate.
Why this rather than a passport form to fill in
Most textile passport tooling gives you the fields and asks you to type. That works right up until someone asks where a number came from. Comparing tools? Test each one with your own products.
- Instead of a filled-in formEvery value carries its basisEvery value keeps its supporting evidence, and anything unresolved is flagged for you.Every proposed value is checked before you approve it.
- Instead of last write winsConflicts aren't quietly overwrittenWhen the label, the declaration and the test report disagree, the conflict is shown to you. You decide, and the decision is recorded with what it was decided from.So an auditor asking why can be answered a year later by the record. What a certificate can establish
- Instead of waiting for the actThe work survives the delegated actComposition, identity, supplier evidence and document provenance are needed by whatever the act finally says. Doing them now isn't a bet on the schema.Better data later? Upload it and run the engine again. No filling gaps by hand.
- Instead of one outputOne record, many destinationsThe same record produces the live passport and its GS1 Digital Link, the Product Pack retailers and marketplaces ask for, and a readable record over the API.Built once. Adding a channel doesn't restart the evidence work. An annotated textile passport
Put it to work
Once a garment has a live identity, you choose what else it does. None of these is required, and some are still in beta.

- Measure, in betaShopify sales, ad costs and your own costs in one checkable sum. How Activate&Measure works

What we won't call the 22
They're ActivateDigital's readiness and evidence model. Calling them anything stronger would be inventing a legal instrument that doesn't exist yet, and you'd find out at exactly the wrong moment.
Bring one garment
Don't start with a blank passport. See how we build the passport from a handful of inputs: ActivateDigital resolves the product data and evidence you already hold, then asks only for the facts that still need you or your supplier. Textiles is live in the Workspace today.
