ESPR — Furniture delegated act
Digital Product Passport for furniture (delegated act under Regulation (EU) 2024/1781)
The furniture delegated act is on the ESPR Working Plan with indicative adoption ~2028. Anticipated scope: material content per component (wood, metal, foam, fabric, plastic), repairability, disassembly information, substances of concern (formaldehyde, flame retardants), end-of-life routes, certified-source content (FSC / PEFC).
Schema for the furniture module will be published once the delegated act is adopted. The platform tracks the preparatory study output and consultation responses via the regulation-monitor agent.
| Date | Clause | Applies to | Article ref |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~2028 (indicative) | Furniture delegated act expected | Furniture products | Working Plan |
| TBD | Furniture DPP obligation effective | Furniture products | del-act + 18 to 36 months |
- Likely interaction with existing furniture safety standards (EN 1335 office chairs, EN 12521 indoor domestic furniture etc.) — these continue to apply and the DPP will record conformity attestations, not replace them.
- Operators in scope: manufacturers, importers, EU authorised representatives of regulated furniture placed on the EU market.
- Bill-of-materials data model is the principal differentiator from the battery passport — component-level material tracking with supplier-level traceability is the load-bearing complexity for this module.
Module state: PLANNED. The Furniture module is not yet available — the relevant ESPR delegated act has not been adopted. The platform tracks the regulatory text via the regulation-monitor agent and the bulletin; the module will switch to BETA on delegated-act adoption.
