Resources / Answers / Beyond EPR: product safety and labels

What labels does a product need to be sold in several EU countries?

EU-wide product safety information under the GPSR, in each country's language, plus each country's packaging marks under its EPR rules.

An EU layer and a national layer. EU-wide (GPSR): a type, batch or serial number; the manufacturer's name, postal and electronic address; the responsible person's details where the manufacturer is outside the EU; and instructions and safety information in a language set by each country where the product is sold (Art. 9(5)–(7), 16(3)). Online listings must show the same information (Art. 19). National, for packaging: France requires the Triman logo and Info-tri on household packaging; Italy requires environmental labelling of all packaging, including the material identification codes.

Other countries have their own packaging marking rules, and the EU Packaging Regulation will harmonise sorting labels later. Products under specific EU laws, such as electricals or textiles, carry additional marks. We prepare the label files per product and per country: see labels for every country.
