Electronic Textiles (e-textiles) are fabrics that feature electronics and interconnections woven into them, presenting physical flexibility and typical size that cannot be achieved with other existing electronic manufacturing techniques. E-textiles, refers to fabrics that can function electrically as electronics and behave physically as textiles Electronic-textile research is closely related to wearable computing research, but in many ways its own distinct field. Wearable computing explores technologies that are portable and attached to or carried on the body, but e-textile research has a slightly different focus: investigating electronic and computational technology that is imbedded into textiles. E-textile researchers strive to build devices that are as soft, flexible and comfortable as traditional cloth artifacts.image002CAGR projections from 2016-2026 for key e-textiles markets. Using Sensors provide a nervous system to detect signals, thus in a passive smart material, the existence of sensors is essential and wireless option gives the ultimate availability to measure information or to send data instantly. All over the world there is a large field to work with and characterizes key market sectors including 'Sports & Fitness', 'Medical & Healthcare', 'Wellness', 'Home & Lifestyle', 'Industrial, commercial, military', 'Fashion' and 'Others' (including automotive) giving more opportunities

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.
