Passport data comes from the supply chain

Audio narration · listen first

The digital product passport links a product's identity, materials, origin, care and end-of-life information to a record opened with a QR code. Most of this information is created not at the brand's own desk but in the supply chain: composition comes from the fabric supplier, the production site from the workshop, documents from the supplier. Preparing for the data the European Union requires for textiles starts with keeping the SRM record accurate.

In this part

  • You see which passport fields come from the supplier: composition, origin, production site, documents.
  • You understand why a contract workshop passing the work to another workshop makes the product's real production site unclear.
  • You learn why it is right to mark a value whose source is unknown as "unknown" instead of writing a guess.
  • You see how data in SRM, the BOM in PLM and the product information in PIM come together in the passport.

The passport's product information section shows the brand, main product group, season, product group, theme and country of origin. This is how it looks when opened on a phone, and the interface is in English.
