What must your textile label show?

If your product is mostly textile, the EU rules require a fibre-composition label before you sell it. Pick your product type and composition and get the exact label requirements — names, percentages, language and more.

The rule, in one line

Under Regulation (EU) 1007/2011, a product made of at least 80% textile fibres by weight is a 'textile product' and must carry a fibre-composition label before being made available on the EU market. The label uses only the fibre names in Annex I; for multi-fibre products it gives the name and percentage by weight of all fibres in descending order; it must be durable, legible and accessible, in the official language(s) of the Member State of sale; and non-textile parts of animal origin must be indicated.

Check your product

A product is a 'textile product' (and needs a label) if it is at least 80% textile fibres by weight. Some products are exempt (Annex V).

One fibre (e.g. 100% cotton) or several — this changes how the composition is written.

Leather, fur, bone, horn, etc. — these must be flagged on the label.

How the determination works

1. Is it a textile product?

A product made of at least 80% textile fibres by weight is a 'textile product' and needs a fibre-composition label. Below that, the textile-labelling rules do not apply. Some products are exempt under Annex V.

2. The composition statement

Use only the fibre names in Annex I. For one fibre, state '100%', 'pure' or 'all'. For several, state the name and percentage by weight of all fibres in descending order. Non-textile parts of animal origin must be flagged.

3. Form + language

The label must be durable, easily legible, visible, accessible and firmly attached, and in the official language(s) of the Member State where the product is sold to the consumer.

Frequently asked questions

When is a label required?
When your product is a 'textile product' — made of at least 80% textile fibres by weight — under Regulation (EU) 1007/2011. The label must be in place before the product is made available on the EU market.
How do I write the composition?
Use only the fibre names in Annex I. For a single fibre, '100%', 'pure' or 'all'. For several fibres, the name and percentage by weight of each, in descending order.
In which language must the label be?
In the official language(s) of the Member State where the product is made available to the consumer.
Do I have to flag leather or fur?
Yes. Products containing non-textile parts of animal origin must be labelled 'Contains non-textile parts of animal origin' (Art. 12).
Are any products exempt?
Yes — Annex V lists products for which labelling is not compulsory, and Annex VI lists products for which inclusive labelling is sufficient. Check those annexes for your product.
Is this legal advice?
No. This tool restates the textile-labelling rules for the product you describe. It is orientation, not legal advice. Check the exact fibre names against Annex I and verify against the linked official sources.
