No mandatory display date is set in the published decree. Arrêté du 6 septembre 2025 (NOR TECD2515463A, JORF 9 September 2025) restricts the scope to apparel textile products under Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 and excludes single-use apparel, products with electronic components and products with more than 20 percent of mass in materials not modelled in the methodology notice.
Décret n° 2025-957 (JORF n° 0209, 9 September 2025, texte n° 84) applies to persons who porte[nt] volontairement à la connaissance du consommateur the environmental cost; the cost is a whole number of impact points calculated per the methodology set by ministerial order; Article 2: entry into force 1 October 2025.
Before any communication, the operator must publish on the designated public portal the environmental cost, its breakdown by impact category, the calculation date and the methodology version; the cost may be updated at most once every three months and must be updated within twelve months of a methodology change unless already marked on the product.

The methodology is detailed in a notice méthodologique published by the environment and economy ministries and uses the 16 impact categories of Annex I to Recommendation (EU) 2021/2279. The portal runs on the State Ecobalyse platform. Until 1 October 2026 third parties could reuse an operator cost only with consent or once published on the portal.
Décret n° 2025-957: prior publication on a public portal designated by order; cost may be updated au maximum, une fois tous les trois mois; the arrêté designates the portal affichage-environnemental.ecobalyse.beta.gouv.fr and sets the label: the words Coût environnemental with a pictogram giving the number of impact points and the figure per 100 g of product.
This is a register, not advice. It records what an instrument says and when it applies. Whether it applies to a particular company, product or shipment is a question for somebody who knows that business, and the answer is frequently not what the summary above would suggest.
