Compliance and Evidence Map for a Circular Fashion Product
Learners translate regulatory and voluntary requirements into product decisions, supplier evidence, claims controls, and ownership. The activity assesses reasoning and prioritisation, not legal memorisation.
Version A - VET / EQF 4: Guided Product Compliance Check
Duration: 45-60 minutes | Format: Individual or pair work | Output: Completed worksheet + one-minute explanation
Choose one product card: cotton T-shirt, recycled-polyester jacket or denim jeans. Complete the following guided check.
Worksheet A. Guided product compliance check
| Check | Your answer |
|---|---|
| Product and target EU market | |
| Fibre and component information needed | |
| One chemical or product-safety question | |
| One voluntary standard that could support evidence - and what it would prove | |
| One environmental claim to avoid or rewrite | |
| One document to request from the supplier | |
| One design decision that could improve compliance or recovery |
Assessment focus: correct identification of basic information, evidence and claim categories; ability to connect one requirement to one product decision.
Version B - HEI / EQF 5: Product-Market-Evidence Matrix
Duration: 90-120 minutes | Format: Individual or group work | Output: Completed matrix + 300-word rationale
Select one fashion product and one EU destination market. Research the current status of relevant rules and complete one row for each category below. Do not present future or proposed requirements as already mandatory.
Worksheet B. Product-market-evidence matrix
| Category | Requirement or tool | Product implication | Evidence / owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composition and labelling | |||
| Chemicals or safety | |||
| ESPR / DPP readiness | |||
| Environmental claim | |||
| After-use / EPR | |||
| Voluntary standard | |||
| Social or supplier risk |
In the rationale, identify the two highest-priority gaps, explain why they matter and propose one product change, and one data or process change.
Version C - Professionals / SMEs: Minimum Compliance and Evidence Package
Duration: 2-3 hours | Format: Company workshop | Output: Compliance map + 90-day action plan
Select a real product line and map the destination markets, legal areas, voluntary schemes, claims, supplier evidence, internal owners and current gaps. For every item, record whether the requirement is in force, upcoming, voluntary or uncertain, and needs verification.
Close the workshop by agreeing one short-term risk reduction, one longer-term system improvement and one person responsible for reviewing legal updates.
Worksheet C. Minimum compliance and evidence package
| Priority item | Status / gap | Evidence needed | Owner | 90-day action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product composition and specification | ||||
| Chemical and testing evidence | ||||
| Certificates / chain of custody | ||||
| Claims approval | ||||
| DPP-ready product data | ||||
| EPR and market registration readiness | ||||
| Supplier due diligence |
Shared Assessment Rubric
Assessment rubric - maximum 8 points
| Criterion | 0 - Missing | 1 - Developing | 2 - Applied |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instrument distinction | Confuses laws, standards and certifications. | Identifies some differences. | Correctly distinguishes instrument, scope and status. |
| Product translation | Lists requirements without product relevance. | Makes a partial connection. | Connects requirements to specific design or sourcing decisions. |
| Evidence logic | No evidence or owner identified. | Evidence is generic or incomplete. | Evidence is specific, scoped, and assigned to an owner. |
| Claims discipline | Uses vague or unsupported wording. | Recognises risk but does not fully resolve it. | Rewrites claims to be specific, evidenced and limited. |
