Upcoming European durability standards: What’s next for workwear and clothing? 

Physical durability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in product development, quality management, sourcing and procurement. The ongoing European standardization work could influence how brands and manufacturers define product requirements, assess product performance and set supplier specifications.

In this interactive workshop, you’ll gain insight into the approach behind the upcoming European specifications and apply it to your own products, quality requirements or purchasing criteria. Together with other professionals, you’ll explore what these developments could mean for your organisation and where you may need to start preparing.

Rather than simply presenting the standards, this workshop encourages participants to compare existing approaches, discuss practical implications and exchange perspectives with peers from across the textile value chain. You’ll also gain insight into how industry expertise contributes to developing standards that are practical and relevant for both fashion and workwear.

Whether you work in product development, design, quality, compliance or sourcing, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s changing, what questions you should already be asking, and practical next steps for your organisation.

Participation in this workshop is free for professionals working in product development, quality, compliance and sourcing.
