Generate Your PPWR Technical Documentation and Declaration of Conformity
PPWR requires a signed Declaration of Conformity backed by a technical file. This tool works out which requirements apply to your packaging from the facts you enter, shows you what evidence is still missing, and builds the Annex VII Technical Documentation and the Annex VIII Declaration in the order the regulation requires — the TD first, the DoC only once the TD holds.
You don't need to know the regulation. You need to know your packaging.
- In force since 12 August 2026 — no grace period
- Built on Regulation (EU) 2025/40 and Commission Notice C/2026/3084
The gap analysis is free: what applies, what's missing, who to ask. No sign-up required to start.
This is not a template you fill in
You enter facts, not conclusions
You describe your packaging — layers, components, materials, food contact, who manufactures it. The rules engine decides which PPWR requirements apply. You never tick “not applicable” yourself: where a requirement doesn't apply, the system marks it N/A and states the facts that made it so.
The TD comes before the DoC
A Declaration of Conformity is a claim; the Technical Documentation is what backs it. The workflow enforces that order through three gates — TD Draft, TD Approval, DoC Issue — so you cannot declare conformity against a file that isn't finished.
One document set per conformity group
Packaging units that share a manufacturer, a packaging level and all assessed facts form one conformity group, and each group gets one TD and one DoC. A single SKU may need more than one set. The system works this out for you.
A blank template cannot do any of this. It gives you the field list from the annex — which is already in the regulation — and leaves every judgement to you.
How it works
- 1
Scope
Pick your packaging levels, then list the items in each one — a carton, its tape and the pallet are three separate items. For each item: material, how it's used, food contact, and what documents you already hold.
- 2
Preparation checklist
Before you create a case, see what data and documents the assessment will ask for, so you can gather them once instead of stopping halfway.
- 3
Packaging and evidence
Confirm the manufacturer for each item, record components and their material rows, and attach evidence — or confirm you retain it off the platform. Uploading to us is optional.
- 4
Gaps and supplier requests
Every unsatisfied requirement, the exact items it affects, and which supplier to ask. Send a structured Compliance Request instead of writing the email yourself.
- 5
Readiness and documents
Three gates, then the documents: Technical Documentation under Annex VII, and the Declaration of Conformity under Annex VIII.
The first two steps are free and need no account.
What you get
Technical Documentation — Annex VII
The Module A dossier: document control, manufacturer identification, packaging description, the standards or alternative solutions applied, and a per-requirement assessment with the evidence behind each one.
Declaration of Conformity — Annex VIII
The declaration you sign under Article 39, carrying the current document number and revision, and bound to the Annex VII technical file drawn up under the Article 38 conformity assessment that supports it.
Both are generated from your own packaging data — not filled into a sample.
What this tool will not do
It will not sign your declaration
The system produces an unsigned English final draft. A Declaration of Conformity is only issued once you upload the complete signed copy — bound to the current document number and revision, and covering every language your target markets require. We will not pretend a generated PDF is a signed declaration.
It will not state a recyclability grade that doesn't exist yet
Articles 6(4), 7(8) and 12(6) are still awaiting implementing acts. A TD issued today cannot state a final PPWR recyclability grade — it records the assessment as pending, with the reason. Any tool that lets you fill one in is telling you something the Commission has not decided.
It will not invent evidence
Where a requirement needs a test report or a supplier declaration, the system tells you which one and who to ask. It does not produce a conclusion the evidence doesn't support.
These limits are the reason the output holds up. A document that claims more than your evidence supports is worse than no document.
What's free, and what isn't
Free
The full gap analysis: which requirements apply to your packaging, which items each one affects, what's missing, and which supplier to ask. Requesting documents from a third-party manufacturer is free too.
Paid
Resolving the gaps: evidence management, off-platform retention records, supplier Compliance Requests, and generating the Technical Documentation and Declaration of Conformity.
