The European Commission has confirmed six priority product groups for the first ESPR delegated acts: textiles, furniture, mattresses, tyres, iron & steel, and aluminium. The indicative schedule spreads out: steel in 2026; textiles, tyres and aluminium targeted 2027 (compliance ~2029); furniture 2028; mattresses 2029. Each delegated act then grants an 18-to-36-month preparation window.
What it changes for you
The schedule lets you sequence the data work by product family rather than tackling everything at once. Each category will carry its own attributes (durability, repairability, end-of-life) — exactly the kind of differentiated modelling a PIM handles by design. The good news: you now know in what order to move.
