Furniture and the Digital Product Passport.
Furniture is a priority final-product group under the ESPR working plan, with an indicative 2028 timeline; mattresses are handled as a separate priority measure.
Data worth organising now
- Bill of materials and component identifiers
- Wood, metal, plastics, foams and textile composition
- Supplier and manufacturing-site data
- Durability, repair, spare-part and disassembly information
- Compliance and material/substance evidence
Preparation workflow
Build a BOM
Move from marketing descriptions to structured component and material records.
Map repairability
Record replaceable components, spare-part references and disassembly instructions where relevant.
Collect supplier evidence
Standardise how suppliers provide origin, material and compliance data.
Why early preparation matters
When a final product-specific measure arrives, the difficult part is often not generating a QR code. It is locating reliable data across suppliers, engineering, compliance, ERP/PIM systems and product documentation. A reusable product-data model reduces that implementation risk.

Frequently asked questions
Does every furniture product need a DPP today?
Furniture is prioritised, but final product scope and any DPP requirement come from the adopted product-specific measure.
What should companies prepare now?
Start with clean product identifiers, supplier data ownership, materials/composition, technical and compliance records, and a structure that can be mapped to future product-specific DPP fields.
Is the indicative ESPR timeline a legal deadline?
No. The working-plan timeline is an indicative adoption timeline for measures. The binding obligations and application dates come from the final delegated act or other applicable EU legislation.
