Why can we not provide a PPWR declaration for some packaging immediately?


A PPWR declaration of conformity is not just an informational document – it must be supported by technical documentation.

MAZUS must have information regarding the specific packaging design, material composition, and the raw materials and components used in its production. Part of the required information is obtained from our suppliers of raw materials and components.

Therefore, if we do not yet have all the necessary supplier documents or technical data, we first collect and evaluate them before we can prepare the PPWR declaration of conformity.

The PPWR requires that before placing packaging on the market, the manufacturer must perform a conformity assessment and draw up technical documentation, and upon demonstrating compliance, issue an EU declaration of conformity. (EUR-Lex)
