The fourteen fields of the furniture passport, group by group, with their type, whether they are required, whether they can carry a default, and what to put in them.
·3 min read
The furniture template covers seating, tables, storage, beds and the like.
Like the textile one, it follows the ESPR requirements known today and will
be updated when the delegated act for furniture is published. It shares most
of its structure with the textile template, with a materials list instead of
a fibre composition and three fields of its own on repair and disassembly.
Required fields count in the completeness score. A default is a value that
can be set store-wide or per category and pre-fills new passports. Prose
fields are the ones a translation covers.

Reading the tables
Three required fields: main materials, country of origin and recycling
instructions. A passport with all three is at 100%.
A product is attributed to this template when its categories, attributes or
text match furniture signals, "chair", "table", "oak", "canapé" and the
like; the detection page
explains the scoring, and the template can be switched by hand in the
passport editor. Store defaults for furniture are set on their own tab under
Passports, then Defaults.
