am nevoie de un pasaport digital al produsului pentru mostre de showroom care nu sunt vândute

Ce trebuie să faceți în mod concret

Ce se așteaptă de la dumneavoastră

ESPR leaga obligatia unui pasaport digital al produsului de punerea pe piata a unui produs. Articolul 1 al ESPR (Regulamentul (UE) 2024/1781) descrie domeniul de aplicare al regulamentului in acesti termeni, si articolul 9 al ESPR (Regulamentul (UE) 2024/1781) elaboreaza ceea ce trebuie sa apara in acel pasaport de indata ce o categorie de produse cade sub un act delegat. Pentru mostele de showroom care nu sunt vândute, acel punct de conexiune — punerea pe piata — este un punct central de reflectie. O mostra care serveste exclusiv pentru a arata cumparatorilor cum arata o colectie, si care nu ajunge niciodata ca produs vandabil la un consumator, se afla diferit in cursul vânzarii decat o bucata care este oferita printr-un magazin online sau o magazie fizica.

Determinarea daca mostra se considera "punere pe piata"

Aceasta este prima intrebare care trebuie raspunsa in mod practic, si nu una pe care platforma sa o completeze pentru o companie individuala. O mostra care circula intre showroom-uri, agenti si cumparatori, si care nu este niciodata vânduta, este diferita de o mostra care dupa sezon este vânduta totusi intr-un outlet sau vânduta personalului. Aceasta din urma este cu siguranta o vânzare, si cu aceasta potentiala o clipa in care intrebarea "este necesar un pasaport aici" trebuie sa fie pusa din nou. Pentru o companie cu 10 pana la 100 de angajati, acest lucru inseamna mai ales ca trebuie sa fie clar intern ceea ce se intampla cu mostele DUPA sezonul showroom-ului — nu doar la design sau vânzari, ci si la logistica si vânzarile outlet, unde aceste articole pot ajunge cu siguranta.

Sa stiu daca grupa de produse cade sub un act delegat

Independent of the question of whether something is a sample, the broader question applies of whether the product group in which the company operates already falls under a delegated act. As long as that act does not exist, there is no passport obligation for anyone in that product group — sample or no sample. What a delegated act precisely is and why it determines what a company must do is explained at what is a delegated act and why does it determine what I must do?. For clothing and textiles, no delegated act has yet been published; when that obligation becomes concrete, it can be followed via when does the product passport become mandatory for clothing and textiles?.

Making distinctions between prototypes, samples and sale-ready pieces

In practice, these categories often overlap: a prototype that is adapted, a showroom sample that is sold as part of a sample sale or as a stock clearance after the season, and a production piece that goes directly to a customer. For a company with its own showroom or agent network, it is practical to distinguish these flows from one another — not because the platform passes judgment on this, but because this distinction determines which pieces will ever need a passport and which will not.

Unde merge prost în practică

A first situation in which things go wrong: a showroom sample is sold after the season via a sample sale or to employees, without anyone having linked that moment to the question of whether a passport is needed. The sample then actually changes status, but this is not noticed organizationally.

A second situation: a collection consists of pieces that are partly circulated as samples and partly go into production, with the same item code. If the passport is later linked to the production, confusion arises about which copy gets which passport, especially when samples differ slightly from the final production pieces in terms of material or finish.

A third situation: an agent or distributor in another EU country receives samples and, without consultation, assumes that those samples will also need a passport later, while the company itself intends never to sell those pieces. Unclear agreements between brand and agent about what happens to samples then lead to unnecessary uncertainty or unnecessary work.

A fourth situation: companies wondering whether their product category falls under the regulation at all, and who leave that question unanswered until the delegated act arrives — as a result of which there is no longer time to distinguish between sample flows and sales flows. Anyone wondering whether the product passport applies to their own clothing and textiles at all can check this via does the digital product passport apply to my clothing and textiles?.

A fifth situation, specific to smaller companies: the assumption that a small company is not visible enough anyway to handle this carefully. Whether and how the size of a company plays a role in this is described on does the product passport also apply to small businesses?.

Ce puteți documenta

• An overview of which pieces in a collection are used as showroom samples, and which of these are or may be sold after the season.
• An internal agreement on the moment when a sample changes status — from showroom piece to saleable product — and who is responsible for this.
• Agreements with agents and distributors about what happens to samples after use, including any resale.
• A file per collection in which item codes, material composition and any deviations between sample and production piece are recorded — useful regardless of the product passport, and at the moment when a delegated act does exist, immediately usable as a basis.
• A check on whether the product group in which you operate coincides with what falls under the ESPR; a first orientation on this is available on which products from the clothing and textile industry fall under the ESPR?.

Cine are deja aceste puncte în ordine acum, nu va mai trebui să le caute mai târziu atunci când obligația pentru îmbrăcăminte și textile devine concretă.
