PPWR Is Live. The Test Is Whether You Can Produce the File in Ten Days.
Since Wednesday 12th of August, every packaging type you place on the EU market needs a signed EU Declaration of Conformity with an Annex VII technical file behind it. If the inspection authority asks and you cannot produce that file within 10 days, the packaging is treated as non-compliant. Not “probably fine, because the material is fine” but “no, non-compliant”. The absence of documentation is itself the failure. You hold the file five years or ten for reusable packaging.
