Is a new PPWR Declaration of Conformity (DoC) required for packaging previously placed on the EU market?
Generally, no.
If packaging was legally placed on the European Union market before the start of the applicable PPWR requirements, there is no need to retroactively prepare a new PPWR Declaration of Conformity (DoC) simply due to the new PPWR requirements.
Such packaging can continue to be used and distributed in accordance with the transitional provisions applicable to it.
However, your customers or trading partners may request additional information regarding the composition, materials used, or compliance of the packaging. Such requests may arise from their internal quality or supplier assessment procedures.
If you purchased packaging from MAZUS and require additional technical information, please contact our specialists. We will evaluate the specific packaging and our available technical documentation.
