By 31 December 2027, OSE-TOI commits to developing and testing at least one functional prototype demonstrating how a single, persistent digital product identity can remain associated with successive physical incarnations of a garment, without requiring the creation of a new identity following reconstruction.
The prototype will demonstrate this continuity across at least four textile lifecycle scenarios – second-hand transfer, repair, transformation and reconstruction – with the involvement of at least two pilot designers or brands.
OSE-TOI aims to complete its first physical textile prototype well ahead of the December 2027 deadline, allowing sufficient time for pilot testing, validation and documentation.
OSE-TOI will document the demonstrated scenarios and pilot feedback and produce a non-confidential summary of lessons learned on interoperability with applicable and emerging European Digital Product Passport requirements and technical specifications.
Progress will be reported annually against four measurable outputs: one functional prototype, at least two pilot designers or brands, at least four demonstrated lifecycle scenarios, and one non-confidential summary of interoperability lessons learned. The pledge concerns technical demonstration and learning and does not imply that compliance with future DPP requirements has already been achieved.
