EU Digital Product Passport Checklist for Underwear (Download)

Updated 2 Oct 2026

Partner factories hold OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 BSCI audited partner factories

The EU Digital Product Passport requires data that is produced during sourcing — fibre composition, material origin, certifications, durability test results, packaging weights and production-site details. If it is not captured order by order, it has to be reconstructed later at far higher cost. This checklist lists the fields, the source of each one, and the timeline to plan against.

Buyer Questions

MOQ, lead times, certification and trading terms

Is the passport a document I attach to the shipment?

No. It is structured data attached to the product and reached through a data carrier on the item. A PDF sent alongside an order does not satisfy the requirement, because the item itself has to point to its record. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

What information has to be in it?

Product identity, fibre composition, the producing site, care and repair information, and end-of-life information. The composition in the record and the composition on the physical label have to say the same thing. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

When should the data be collected?

Before the run. Composition and producing site come from the supply chain, and asking for them after production means collecting data about a batch that has already been made and cartoned. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

Does it replace the physical label?

No. The label remains and the data carrier sits alongside it. The two have to agree, which is why the composition wording matters in both places: a record that says one thing while the label says another is a discrepancy, not a passport. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

Who maintains the record?

That is a commercial decision to settle with the buyer and the supplier before the first order. If nobody is named as the record keeper, the data exists for one order and is not maintained afterwards, which defeats the purpose: the passport is meant to be readable years after the garment was sold. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

What about the producing site?

It has to be recorded per order, and it has to name the plant rather than the trading company. A record that stops at the company level cannot be traced to a site, which is precisely what the requirement exists to establish, and it is the field most often left generic in a first attempt.
