The 61 fields a textile passport is expected to carry
The textile delegated act has not been adopted. But the field list is not a mystery — the JRC draft specification of May 2026 sets it out in Tables 5 to 8, and this is that list, as TrustRise implements it.
We publish it because the alternative is asking you to take our word for it.
How to read this
Granularity — whether the field describes a model, a production batch, or an individual item. Most are model-level; eleven are per batch; one is per item.
Access level — who may see the field. Public is anyone who scans. Legitimate interest covers recyclers, repairers and other economic operators. Authority is market surveillance only.
Required — whether the specification marks the field as mandatory. Eighteen of the sixty-one are.
Evidence — whether a supporting document is required rather than a declared value.
What the numbers show
All five traceability fields are mandatory. Every passport is expected to name the country of spinning, weaving or knitting, dyeing and finishing, and making up — plus the facility identifier. This is the group most brands cannot answer today, and it is the one the specification does not treat as optional.
Only one field requires documentary evidence: recycled content percentage. Every other value can be declared. A recycled claim is the single assertion the specification will not accept on trust — which is consistent with where greenwashing enforcement has concentrated.
The restricted levels split cleanly. Legitimate interest holds chemical data, weights and absolute footprint values. Authority holds operator contacts and every conformity certificate. A passport that publishes all of it is not compliant, however transparent it looks.
Environment is the largest group at seventeen fields, and nearly all of them are optional. Durability and footprint are where the specification asks for the most and demands the least — for now.

What happens when the act changes
This list is a draft specification, not law. The adopted act will add fields, remove some, and change which are mandatory.
TrustRise holds the field registry as versioned data, not as hardcoded columns. When the specification revises, the registry revises with it — and passports already published keep the version they were built against, so your records stay true to the rules that applied when you made them.
The underlying data does not change either way. Fibre origin is fibre origin whatever the act calls it. Collecting it now is never wasted.
