EU Textile Fiber Composition Labeling (1007/2011)

Regulation (EU) 1007/2011 sets rules for textile fiber names and fiber-content labels. It covers textile products and certain other goods made up of at least 80% textile fibers by weight. It has applied since May 8, 2012.

Before selling in the EU, check the fiber names in Annex I, the composition percentages, and the label language. Consumer labels generally use the official language or languages of the member state where the product is sold, unless that country provides otherwise. Online shoppers also need to see the fiber content before buying.

Check Articles 2 and 17 for scope and exceptions. Products listed in Annex V are exempt from the fiber-name or composition marking requirement. Some fabrics and products have specific labeling rules, so check how your product is classified.
