EU textile fibre composition label
EU textile fibre composition must use Annex I names, not trade names
Job: put a fibre composition line on the product page that uses official Annex I names (EN, DE, FR) and percentages - not “Lycra”, “Tencel”, or other trade names.
Recording a blend is easy; using accepted names is the gap. Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 is the fibre-name catalogue. French online listings also have place-of-manufacture rules. Not legal advice - confirm the live texts.
Validate every fibre against Annex I, flag trade names, then check the live PDP.
Confirm current plans on the App Store listing before you install.
Install, set fibre composition, confirm the product page
The paid path is fibre composition shown on the product page in the form this guide documents - not a care-label PDF that never reaches the storefront.
- Install FibreLedger (Textile Label Guard) from the App Store.
- Set the fibre composition display for the first textile product.
- Confirm the live product page shows the composition buyers need to see.
- Keep the in-app record before you scale to the rest of the collection.
The app helps present fibre information you enter. It does not certify textile compliance. This page is not legal advice.
Install FibreLedger → set fibre composition → confirm product page

Short walkthrough of the app flow. Then follow the start path below.
Start path: Annex I names on the product page
- Open the FibreLedger Textile Labels listing (
apps.shopify.com/textile-label-guard) and install it on the store that sells textiles into the EU. - Enter composition and run the Annex I check in EN, DE, and FR. Replace trade names with the official fibre name.
- For French listings, record places of manufacture on the product page where that rule applies.
- Keep EPR registration records (France / Netherlands) and the audit trail if you use those fields. Re-check when blends change.
The app checks names against the catalogue you point it at. It does not weigh the garment or certify percentages.
Annex I fibre names are composition - not a green-claim pass
| Field | Product-page job |
|---|---|
| Annex I fibre name + % | Lawful composition line (EN / DE / FR) |
| Trade name on composition line (Lycra, Tencel, …) | Flag and replace with the official fibre name |
| French places of manufacture | Separate online listing rule where it applies |
| “Eco-friendly cotton” / generic green adjectives | Different job - EU generic environmental claims ban |
Example contrast:
wrong: 95% cotton, 5% Lycra
right: 95% cotton, 5% elastaneSuggested path:
- Install FibreLedger Textile Labels.
- Enter composition; run Annex I check in EN, DE, FR; replace trade names.
- For French listings, record places of manufacture where that rule applies.
- Keep EPR / audit fields if you use them. Re-check when blends change.
The app checks names against the catalogue. It does not weigh the garment or certify percentages.
Composition line vs other product-page claims
| Field | Product-page consequence |
|---|---|
| Annex I fibre name + % | Lawful composition line (EN / DE / FR catalogue) |
| Trade name (Lycra, Tencel, …) | Flag and replace on the composition line |
| French places of manufacture | Online listings: geographic origin of main operations (listing: in force since 10 July 2026) |
| Environmental impact score | Optional displayed score with cited sources from 1 October 2026 — not a fibre-name substitute |
| Generic “eco-friendly” copy | Different job: EU generic environmental claims ban |
Example composition contrast (paraphrase, not a label):
wrong: 95% cotton, 5% Lycra
right: 95% cotton, 5% elastane
wrong: Tencel dress
right: 100% lyocell (if that is the Annex I name that applies)What this page is not
- Not legal advice, a lab test, or a compliance certification.
- Not the EU generic-claim copy job. That path is generic environmental claims on product copy.
- Not CLP hazard pictograms. That job is GHS pictograms on the product page.
- Not EU food allergen labelling. That path is allergen info before purchase.
- Not CRA product duty / Article 14 incident records. That path is Cyber Resilience Act duty files.
Do EU textile fibre labels have to use Annex I names?
Yes when you are using the fibre names that Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 allows on a textile product. Annex I is the catalogue of fibre names. Composition must be indicated; distance selling still has to make that composition available before purchase. This page is not legal advice. Confirm Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011, not this page.
Can I put Lycra or Tencel on the fibre composition line?
Those are trade names, not Annex I fibre names. Elastane / viscose (or the official name that actually applies) belong on the composition line. A brand name can appear elsewhere if you still state the lawful fibre name and percentage. Flag trade names instead of copying them into the composition field.
Do French online listings need places of manufacture on the product page?
French rules for certain textile and footwear listings require the geographic origin of main manufacturing operations on the product page. The listing this site uses treats that place-of-make field as in force since 10 July 2026. Confirm the live French text, not this page.
What changes on 1 October 2026 for environmental display?
From 1 October 2026, merchants may also record a displayed environmental impact score with cited sources, as the listing describes that optional record. That is not a substitute for Annex I fibre names. Confirm the live French affichage environnemental measures, not this page.
Does validating fibre names make the listing “textile-label compliant”?
No. Fibre-name checks, place-of-make fields, EPR registration records, and an audit trail are records you keep. They do not decide whether the garment is in scope, whether percentages are accurate, or whether a French or Dutch EPR number is valid. Not legal advice and not a compliance certification.
Is this the same as EU generic green claims on product copy?
No. Annex I fibre names are composition labelling. “Eco-friendly cotton” is a generic environmental claim job. Do not treat a fibre-name pass as a green-claim pass.
Where do I validate Annex I fibre names for the product page?
Check every fibre against the official Annex I catalogue in EN, DE, and FR, flag trade names, and record French places of manufacture where that rule applies. FibreLedger Textile Labels is the App Store listing this site already uses for that job. Open the listing, install, validate composition, then confirm the live product page.
Validate every fibre against Annex I, flag trade names, then check the live PDP.
