Mandatory Annex VIII points under Regulation (EU) 2025/40

Points 1–4: Traceable SKU & Operator Identity

Unique packaging identification code, manufacturer (and where applicable EU Authorised Representative) registered name/address, sole-responsibility statement, and clear packaging/BOM identification.

Points 5–7: Articles 5–11 & Harmonised Standards

Explicit conformity declaration mapping substance restrictions (Article 5 heavy metals & food-contact PFAS), recyclability/minimization fields, and referenced EN 13427–13432 / ISO test reports.

10-Year Archival PDF/A-2b + PDF/UA-1 Output

Generates machine-verifiable archival PDFs with SHA-256 evidence manifests so EU importers, retail compliance portals, and customs brokers can audit every lab report link cleanly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When does Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) require an Annex VIII EU Declaration of Conformity?

PPWR entered into force in February 2025 and applies generally from August 12, 2026, replacing Directive 94/62/EC and requiring structured Annex VII technical documentation and an Annex VIII EU Declaration of Conformity for packaging placed on the EU market.

Does PackProof sign the Declaration of Conformity as an EU Authorised Representative?

No. PackProof is pure document-compilation and threshold-checking software. Your legal manufacturer or appointed EU importer/operator reviews and signs the generated Annex VIII document under its own responsibility.

Can I download a free PPWR compliance matrix spreadsheet first?

Yes. You can test the interactive Article 5 checker at /packproof/, inspect our sample Annex VIII PDF, or download the free .xlsx PPWR Packaging Matrix from our v1.3.0 release.
