Packaging Regulation (PPWR): What do you need to know? [13]

Is a new declaration required if the packaging design or materials change?

Not every change automatically means that a new declaration is needed, but it must be assessed whether the modification could affect the packaging's compliance with the PPWR.

This is particularly relevant if the following change:

packaging design;
main raw material;
material composition;
use of plastic, metal, textile, or other components;
other characteristics on which the previous compliance was based.

If the change can affect the packaging's compliance, MAZUS performs a re-assessment and updates the PPWR declaration when necessary.

The PPWR directly requires the manufacturer to take into account changes in packaging design or characteristics and, if they may affect compliance, carry out a re-assessment of conformity. (EUR-Lex)
