This report contains an analysis of the needs and barriers for a legal requirement on declaration and/or labelling of chemicals in textiles. The project is a part of the Nordic action plan for textiles "Well dressed in a clean environment. Nordic action plan for sustainable fashion and textiles". Based on the findings from the analysis in this report, a way forward towards a legal requirement on a declaration and/or labelling of chemicals in textiles is proposed via two main options. One option is to work for an extension of the REACH legislation: to make it applicable for labelling and declaration. This option is supported by the industry. Another option is to create a new legislation framework; a product safety regulation for textiles. This option may have a more holistic approach and can include CE-marking.

Resumen En este artículo analizamos tres formas en que la materialidad y el hacer textil artesanal interfieren en la manera en que nos relacionamos con el diseño de tecnologías digitales. Primero, la forma en que lo textil sostiene lo digital, revelando redes de trabajo y cuidado que soportan el diseño de tecnologías. Segundo, los modos en que el hacer textil transforma los lenguajes del diseño en ingeniería, permitiendo que las dimensiones afectivas de éste emerjan. Y tercero la forma en que las temporalidades del hacer textil ralentizan valores de eficiencia y productividad propios de la ingeniería.
