REGULATION (EU) 2025/40 · APPLIES FROM 12.08.2026
Declaration of conformity without guesswork.
From 12 August 2026, every packaging placed on the market in the EU must have compliance documentation. EPPWR tells you which documents to request from suppliers and checks whether what they have sent is sufficient. You receive a completed declaration ready to sign.
FOLDING CARTON · PACKAGING CODE OPK-014
Mass balance and evidence
- Corrugated cardboard 87.4%
- Flexographic ink 9.1%
- Hot-melt adhesive 3.5%
THE DECLARATION WILL BE ISSUED AS
CONDITIONAL
The adhesive accounts for 3.5% by mass — and it determines the type of document you will sign.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WITH A CONDITIONAL DECLARATION
Conditional is a stage, not a dead end.
A conditional declaration documents the state of knowledge: what is confirmed, what is missing and why. When the supplier provides the evidence, you issue a full one — and the previous version remains in the archive, with the date and justification.
During an inspection after two years, you will show not only the document — you will show what you knew on the date of signing.
- 12 May Declaration v1 — conditional
- 26 May Supplier evidence uploaded
- 27 May Declaration v2 — full
Version 1 remains in the archive together with the balance, gaps and data from the date of signing. Nothing disappears and nothing can be added retrospectively.
How it works
FROM DOCUMENT TO DECLARATIONYou break down the packaging into components
The application calculates the mass balance and material shares.
You see what is blocking you
Gaps ranked by mass share — first, what weighs the most.
You issue the declaration of conformity
With a live preview. A document in your language and in every other official EU language.
How it differs from Excel
AND THE COMPETITIONA blank field does not mean zero
It is counted as zero. The declaration appears clean, even though nobody has tested anything.
No mercury indication results in a conditional declaration, not a full one. The application does not round this in your favour.
The mass balance calculates itself
Copied manually and rounded “approximately”. When the mass changes, you need to remember to amend it.
From component masses, not from a declaration of “about 9 kg”. The shares are entered into the document exactly as calculated.
The assistant knows your records
You search the internet and old emails. The answer is generic; your packaging is specific.
It does not give generic answers from the internet, but tells you which evidence is missing and whom to contact.
A signed declaration cannot be edited
A file can be overwritten. After a year, it is unclear what exactly was signed.
An amendment is a new version. In an inspection, what matters is what you signed at the time.
What is the PPWR?
PACKAGING AND PACKAGING WASTE REGULATIONThe PPWR — Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, formally Regulation (EU) 2025/40 of the European Parliament and of the Council on packaging and packaging waste — replaces the previous Packaging Directive 94/62/EC. Unlike a directive, it is directly applicable throughout the European Union, without national provisions. Key PPWR requirements apply from 12 August 2026.
- 2025/40 Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council
- 11.02.2025 Entered into force
- 12.08.2026 Key requirements apply from this date
- 100 mg/kg Limit for the sum of four heavy metals under Article 5
Since when has the PPWR applied?
The Regulation entered into force on 11 February 2025, and its key requirements apply from 12 August 2026. From that date, packaging placed on the market in the EU must have compliance documentation.
Who does the PPWR apply to?
Packaging manufacturers and producers, companies packing their own products, importers and distributors. The scope of obligations depends on the company's role in the supply chain. The EU declaration of conformity is drawn up by the manufacturer in accordance with the rules of the Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste.
What is a packaging declaration of conformity?
A document in which a company confirms that the packaging meets the PPWR requirements — including the heavy metal limits under Article 5. Technical documentation and evidence from suppliers must be attached to the declaration.
What are the heavy metal limits in packaging?
The total of lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium must not exceed 100 mg/kg — calculated collectively, not for each element separately.
How does the PPWR differ from Directive 94/62/EC?
The Directive required transposition into national law, whereas the Regulation applies directly and uniformly throughout the EU. Documentation requirements are broader and subject to market surveillance.
What are the consequences of missing PPWR documentation?
Market surveillance authorities may request compliance documentation and, if it is absent, suspend the placing of the packaging on the market or order the withdrawal of a batch. Financial penalties are determined by national law.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Document reading and the assistant use a language model provided by a third party, processing data within the EU. The model proposes a reading for review — it does not save anything to your records without your approval. The provider is listed on the subprocessors page and does not train models on your data.
Yours. Export is free and always available — a PDF of the declaration with all versions, technical documentation, uploaded supplier evidence and records in CSV. The licence does not expire, so you do not lose access to them.
No. Compliance depends on what you enter and the evidence you have. The application shows what is missing before you sign and documents the basis on which you made the declaration.
As many as we agree in the licence — each entity has separate records and a separate archive, because the declaration is signed by a specific company. The number of entities is one of the pricing factors, so mention it when we speak.
No. The application runs in a browser. You upload documents as a PDF, photo or scan.
The person who signs it. The application prepares the document based on the data you enter and shows which items are not supported by evidence.
The licence is paid for once and does not expire; a separate small fixed fee applies for hosting your instance on our servers. We do not list the amount in the price list because it depends on the number of entities, the scale of the records and the scope of implementation — we prepare a quotation after a discussion, based on your figures.
