PPWR declaration of conformity and technical documentation
Self-service, reviewed or prepared for you. From €149 per packaging type; you sign it.
What it is
Packaging manufacturers must draw up an EU declaration of conformity under the PPWR; importers check that the manufacturer has done so and keep a copy. An importer that puts packaging on the market under its own name or brand, or changes it, takes on the manufacturer's obligations. We start by establishing your role. For now it covers the heavy-metal limits (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium) and PFAS in food-contact packaging. It needs technical documentation behind it, and your supplier must give you the data. See who must draw it up.

Three levels
| What you get | Price, excl. VAT | |
|---|---|---|
| Self-service | Our software drafts the declaration and the technical file from your packaging data, with evidence requests for your suppliers | Part of EPR EU Connect, €89 a month |
| Review | You send your draft and your supplier evidence; we check them and send back the corrections | €149 per packaging type |
| Done for you | We request the evidence from your suppliers, check it and prepare the declaration and the technical file | €290 per packaging type |
The self-service level is part of EPR EU Connect. A packaging type is one design and material made by one supplier, whatever the sizes. As the manufacturer, you sign the declaration and it stays your document; as an importer, we check the manufacturer's declaration and file a copy for you.
What the technical file holds
- The packaging description, materials and supplier.
- The supplier's test results or statements for the substance limits.
- The traceability details: type, batch or serial number and your contact details.
- The signed declaration and its version history.
Suppliers who do not reply
We send the requests and follow them up, but we cannot make a supplier answer. Items still missing evidence are listed in your file, so you can decide what to do with them.
Frequently asked questions
Who signs the declaration?
The manufacturer, which is you when you make the packaging or put it on the market under your own name or brand. We prepare the declaration and the technical file; it is yours. A plain importer does not sign one: it checks the manufacturer's declaration and keeps a copy.
Does my French EPR representative do this?
Not under the representative plan, which covers French EPR. This is a separate service, ordered on this page.
Do micro-enterprises need one?
A micro-enterprise whose branded packaging comes from an EU supplier can be exempt, under conditions: the supplier then draws up the declaration. The PPWR readiness check tells you if that applies. EUR-Lex
How long does it take?
It depends on your suppliers. We send the requests within 2 working days of your order and the declaration once the evidence is in.
