Product passports for furniture.
Furniture and mattresses are in the ESPR Working Plan, with separate indicative acts planned for 2028 and 2029. Neither is a fixed DPP compliance deadline. Start organising materials, origin and repair data now so your team can adapt when the final product rules are published.
When the rules land.
Expected data fields.
Based on the ESPR Working Plan and category-specific consultations. Exact field set will be finalised in the delegated act. The Product Passes furniture template gives you an editable starting point for collecting this information.
Product identity
- Unique product identifier (GTIN-compatible)
- Manufacturer name and EU operator ID
- Product model and SKU
- Date of manufacture, batch
Materials and origin
- Wood species and FSC/PEFC certification
- Foam, textile, leather composition
- Metal content and origin
- Adhesives, finishes, flame retardants
Durability and repair
- Expected service life
- Repair instructions (consumer-readable)
- Spare parts availability and supplier
- Disassembly guidance for end-of-life
Sustainability and end-of-life
- Recycled content percentages
- Carbon footprint (where applicable)
- Take-back and recycling channels
- Hazardous substances declaration
Your suppliers will need 12–18 months.
Wood origin, FSC chain-of-custody, recycled foam percentages, flame-retardant certificates — none of this lives in your ERP. It lives with your suppliers, who need time to gather and submit it. Brands that begin supplier data collection in 2026 will have clean data when the delegated act lands. Start free, build the structure now, fill in the rest as suppliers deliver.
Furniture DPP questions, answered.
When does the furniture DPP requirement come into effect?
The Commission's indicative timeline plans a furniture delegated act in 2028 and a separate mattresses act in 2029. Those are planned adoption dates, not DPP compliance deadlines. The final acts will set product scope, data and application dates, with at least 18 months of transition after adoption under ESPR.
Does the ESPR furniture rule apply to small craft makers?
A small business should watch the final furniture delegated act. ESPR does not provide a blanket small-business exemption from future product requirements, but the precise scope and duties are not yet fixed. Check the adopted act before treating a particular product as covered.
What furniture data is expected in a DPP?
Expected fields based on the working plan: material composition (wood species, foam type, fabric content), origin of raw materials, repair instructions, spare-parts availability, flame retardants used, recycled content percentages, expected service life, take-back/recycling channels, and CE marking where applicable.
Does this include mattresses and bedding?
Mattresses are named separately from furniture in the Commission's indicative timeline: the furniture act is planned for 2028 and the mattress act for 2029. The final acts will define which products are covered.
