Identify which requirements still need attention.
Regulation (EU) 2025/40 covers a broad set of packaging requirements. The practical task is to determine which ones apply to each SKU and what information or evidence is still missing.
In force since 12 August 2026 · Regulation (EU) 2025/40
PPWR Documentation & Declaration of Conformity — What's Still Missing?
See which PPWR requirements apply to your packaging, what documentation you still need, and who to ask — free. Then generate your Technical Documentation (Annex VII) and Declaration of Conformity (Annex VIII) without reading the regulation yourself.

A Reliable DoC Starts with Complete Supplier Data.
Preparing a Declaration of Conformity requires complete, structured and traceable information from your own records and your suppliers.
Bring supplier information into one consistent structure.
Supplier information often arrives in different formats, including PDFs, emails and spreadsheets. A structured record makes missing fields easier to identify and follow up.
Keep the basis for the declaration traceable.
The manufacturer assumes responsibility when drawing up the DoC. Each statement should therefore be supported by clear packaging facts, assessments and evidence.
Record packaging structures at the required level of detail.
A PET / aluminium / PE pouch contains more information than the category “plastic” alone. Capturing its components and materials provides the detail required for the Annex VII technical documentation.

How it works
From packaging data to a signed Declaration of Conformity
Six steps, one SKU at a time. The first four are free, including the real gap list; unlock is required when you are ready to assess each requirement and generate documents. Choose templates when you only need a framework to complete yourself, or use the online system to identify gaps, organise evidence and control when documents can be generated.
- 1No sign-up
Check what applies
Answer a few questions about your market, product and packaging. You get the exact list of PPWR requirements that apply to that SKU, each linked to its article in Regulation (EU) 2025/40.
- 2Before you start
See what you'll need
A preparation checklist built from your scope: which data, which documents, and which party — you, your packaging manufacturer, or your material supplier — is responsible for each one.
- 3One SKU per case
Map your packaging
Build the real structure: sales, grouped and transport units, their actual manufacturers, components, materials and suppliers. Every requirement, gap and document is calculated from this.
- 4Free · gap and recipient preview
Find the gaps and generate request content
Every unsatisfied requirement is grouped by article and tied to the affected unit, material and supplier. For packaging units manufactured entirely by a third party, you can generate a free Manufacturer Document Request. For component or material supplier Evidence gaps, unlock the Supplier Compliance Request template to generate request text and a workbook by recipient. You download or copy the content, then send and follow it up yourself.
- 5Unlocked · Regulation (EU) 2025/40, Article 38
Run the conformity assessment
Requirement by requirement, against the evidence you now hold: applicable or not, satisfied or still missing, PFAS risk identified or closed — each conclusion recorded with the evidence it rests on.
- 6Unlocked · you sign, never us
Generate the TD and an unsigned DoC
Three Readiness Gates check the assessment. The system generates an English TD and unsigned DoC; you review them, arrange any required translation and signature outside the system, then upload the complete signed PDF for the current revision. Every claim remains traceable to your data.
Features
What this tool actually does
Four capabilities, one workflow, one SKU at a time — and every requirement traceable to the article of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 it comes from.
Free
What applies to you, and what doesn’t
Enter your market, packaging structure and use facts to identify the requirements the system can currently determine. When information is insufficient, it asks for more instead of guessing. You also get your regulatory role and a preparation checklist naming who should supply what.
- Your role is resolved per packaging unit — the bottle may be yours while the closure and the outer case belong to their makers; one company-level answer cannot cover that
- Every requirement links to its article on EUR-Lex; the ones that only bite in 2030 or 2040 are shown, but never block you today
- If none of it is yours to declare, we say so — and charge you nothing
Free
Your packaging, as an actual bill of materials
Sales, grouped and transport packaging, broken down unit by unit into components and materials: weight, thickness, dimensions, material identification codes, suppliers and part numbers. Today that sits in email threads, spreadsheets and supplier PDFs. From here on, every requirement, gap and document is calculated from this one structure.
- Every field exists because some requirement needs it — you never have to read the regulation first; fill in the structure and the regulatory assessment happens with it
- Packaging that another company manufactures is not something you invent data for — we build the request workbook, naming exactly what is missing, for you to send that manufacturer
- Change anything and the affected requirements and documents recalculate immediately
Gap and recipient preview free · full requests and gap resolution require unlock
Every gap, who to ask, and request content organised by recipient
Every unsatisfied requirement for your SKU, tied to the packaging unit, material and supplier it belongs to.
- The full list is free — not three samples behind a paywall; you see the real gaps before deciding whether to pay
- Suppliers do not need an account. The system fills request text and a workbook template with the recipient's current gaps; you download or copy it, send it and follow up yourself, then record or attach the supplier's response
- Grouped by requirement, so you see which units and materials each one affects — not just a list of missing filenames
From €49 / month
From evidence register to a declaration ready for your review and signature
What each requirement needs, which document satisfies it, and the report number, issuer, lab accreditation, issue date and expiry behind it — kept as one checkable register. File the document here in private storage, or record that you hold it in your own system; both feed the same register. On that basis you complete the Article 38 conformity assessment and issue the Annex VII technical documentation and the Annex VIII declaration you sign under Article 39.
- Expired reports stop counting — record a validity date and the requirement reverts to unsatisfied once it passes
- Three readiness gates stand before generation — TD draft, TD approval, DoC issue — and missing critical evidence stops the document
- The system creates TD and DoC sets by conformity group — packaging units with the same manufacturer, packaging level, and assessed facts. One SKU may need more than one set. Change a material and the affected documents are flagged for regeneration
Built on the official text of Regulation (EU) 2025/40. Every rule calculation is deterministic and reproducible: the same data produces the same result. When information is insufficient, the system asks for more facts or review instead of guessing. Every requirement links back to its article.
Sample gap report
Every gap, tied to the person who has to close it
We work out which requirements are actually in force for your packaging today — down to each unit, component and material — then split what is missing by who can resolve it: your supplier, your own team, or a lab.

Tracked, not scored
Articles 6, 7, 10 and 12 — design for recycling, recycled content, minimisation and labelling — still depend on implementing and delegated acts that have not been adopted. We record them against your packaging and tell you the day they land. We do not invent a verdict you could not defend.
Example data. Your own report is built from your packaging, and every requirement links to its source article on EUR-Lex.
Readiness gates
No document leaves this tool without passing three readiness checks
A case passes three checkpoints before a document exists. The first two each count a defined set of requirements, and a blocking requirement that is unsatisfied stops the case there. The last one holds on conditions rather than requirements. Either way you are told what is missing, not handed a PDF with a hole in it.
Choose how you want to handle PPWR
Choose the example pack when you want a completed model and a field guide you can fill in and maintain yourself. Choose the online system when you want requirements and gaps calculated from a SKU's packaging data, evidence organised, Readiness Gates enforced, and the current document version maintained.
Start with a completed example you can actually follow
