OpenEPCIS Textile DPP Vocabulary
Textile-specific vocabulary extending GS1 Web Vocabulary for Digital Product Passports. Aligned with: - EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles (COM/2022/141) - EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) 2024/1781 - EU Textile Labelling Regulation 1007/2011 - ISO 3758:2023 (Care labelling) - GS1 Web Vocabulary (gs1:TextileMaterialDetails pattern) - GS1 EPCIS 2.0 GS1 Properties to Use (not redefined here): - gs1:gtin - Global Trade Item Number - gs1:productName - Product name - gs1:productDescription - Product description - gs1:netWeight / gs1:grossWeight - Product weight - gs1:manufacturer - Manufacturer organization - gs1:countryOfOrigin - Country of manufacture - gs1:manufacturersWarranty / gs1:WarrantyPromise - Warranty information (product-scoped) - gs1:certification / gs1:CertificationDetails - Certifications (GOTS, OEKO-TEX, etc.) - gs1:textileMaterial / gs1:TextileMaterialDetails - Fiber composition (GS1 native) - gs1:consumerRecyclingInstructions - Recycling text - gs1:referencedFile - Documents For fiber composition, prefer gs1:textileMaterial with gs1:TextileMaterialDetails where possible. Use eutex: extensions for durability metrics, care symbols, and microplastic data not in GS1. EPCIS 2.0 Extension Declaration: GS1-Extensions: eutex=https://ref.openepcis.io/extensions/eu/textile/ Extension Governance: This vocabulary extends GS1 Web Vocabulary only where no equivalent term exists. Each extension term includes dcterms:source, skos:note, and rdfs:seeAlso where applicable.
Textile Product
A textile product in scope of the EU Textile Labelling Regulation 1007/2011 and the ESPR textile delegated act. Base class of the module: it is the domain of the textile-specific properties and the target of eutex:TextileProductShape. Broader than gs1:WearableProduct, since it also covers HomeTextiles and TechnicalTextiles; the wearable slice is carried by the dual-inheritance subclasses eutex:TextileApparel and eutex:TextileFootwear.
No upstream class covers the textile scope: gs1:WearableProduct (with gs1:Clothing / gs1:Footwear) stops at wearables, SEMICeu has no product taxonomy, and schema:Product is the universal root. Kept as a direct gs1:Product subclass so the GS1 identifier and trade-item attributes apply unchanged.
Care Instruction
Care instructions per ISO 3758:2023 including washing, drying, ironing, and dry cleaning symbols.
Required extension: GS1 Web Vocabulary does not provide structured care instruction data with ISO 3758 symbol codes. This class captures machine-readable care symbols for consumer apps and laundry service integration.
Durability Information
Product durability metrics including expected lifespan, wash cycles, and usage resistance.
Required extension: ESPR requires durability information for textiles including expected number of wash cycles, pilling resistance, and dimensional stability. GS1 Web Vocabulary lacks textile-specific durability metrics. Aligned with oec:PerformanceInfo pattern.
Take-Back Program
End-of-life collection and take-back program information for circular textile economy.
Required extension: ESPR and EU Textile Strategy mandate take-back program information. GS1 provides gs1:consumerRecyclingInstructions for text but lacks structured take-back data. See also schema:Service for web search interoperability.
Microplastic Information
Information about microplastic/microfiber shedding potential from synthetic textiles.
Required extension: EU Textile Strategy specifically addresses microplastic pollution from synthetic textiles. No GS1 equivalent exists for microfiber shedding data. CIRPASS-2's EUDPP P_DPP module carries product-generic microplastic/nanoplastic release classes; this stays a eutex: concept until a second regulation module needs it (the governance move-down criterion), at which point it graduates to oec:.

Discrete PEF carbon-footprint class per the ESPR textile delegated act. Complements eutex:carbonFootprintManufacturing (the value) and eutex:benchmarkPerformance (the percentage). Anchored to the DPP Keystone peer profile dppk:carbonFootprintClass.
Environmental Footprint Class
Discrete performance class (A–G style band, expressed as an integer 1..n) for the PEF single score relative to the product-category benchmark.
Discrete PEF single-score class per the ESPR textile delegated act. Complements eutex:pefSingleScore (the value) and eutex:benchmarkPerformance (the percentage). Anchored to the DPP Keystone peer profile dppk:environmentalFootprintClass.
Textile Fibre Scientific Name
Scientific (binomial) name of a textile fibre, e.g. "Gossypium hirsutum" for cotton, required alongside the common fibre name for certain fibres under the EU Textile Labelling Regulation.
Fibre-composition / labelling concept per the EU Textile Labelling Regulation (EU) 1007/2011. GS1 gs1:textileMaterialDescription carries one material name/description (to which the fibre common name maps) but has no separate field for a scientific (binomial) fibre name.
