Factory Workflow is included free with every Buyer QMS — which is why factories actually use it

What the EU actually requires, and when.

Most of what circulates about textile passport deadlines is wrong. Here is what survives contact with the regulation.Last verified: August 2026

EmpCo Directive (2024/825) takes effect, banning generic green claims, with fines up to 4% of turnover.
2027 (expected)
The Commission adopts the textile-specific delegated act defining passport requirements.
2028–2029

May 2026
The Joint Research Centre published the first full textile content specification: 49 data points across four categories.

Nobody is legally required to publish a product passport in 2026. If a vendor is selling you urgency on a 2026 deadline, they are selling you something that does not exist.

2026 is the year to build the record, not the year to panic.

What we provide.Record first, passport when it is required.

Quality dashboard on a tablet

Evidence capture, per style

Every inspection writes timestamped, product-level evidence against a specific style — what was checked, when, by whom, with photographs and a decision attached. This is the substrate a passport is assembled from.

Overall score gauge

Supplier data collection

Composition, country of manufacture, care and supplier declarations are collected from the plants already in your account, against the style they belong to. No parallel questionnaire round.

Organisation overview dashboard

Passport payload assembly

When the delegated act lands, the record is assembled into a passport payload rather than reconstructed. A brand already recording this way does not start from zero.

Regulatory monitoring

We track ESPR and the textile delegated act and tell you when something changes that affects you — and when it does not. The timeline on this page is what we maintain.

Timeline review for your range

A working session on your own styles and markets: what applies to you, what does not, and what to record now so the answer is already there later. No deck, no urgency you do not need.

Export and handover

The record is yours and it leaves in a readable form — per-style evidence, photographs and decisions exported for an auditor, a customer or a platform, whenever you ask for it.

Banked, timestamped, product-level. Already there when the act lands.

Every inspection you run on Pacod writes evidence against a specific style: what was checked, when, by whom, with photographs and a decision attached. That is the substrate a passport is assembled from.

A brand already recording this way does not start from zero when the delegated act arrives. It is a consequence of using the system well, not the reason to start.

Wherever you manufacture, in the timezone your factories work in. Inspection floors are rarely well connected, which is why the field app assumes no signal and the support channel is WhatsApp.
