Reading is not compliance. Check the pack.

Four fields is usually enough to narrow eight requirement families down to the three that actually decide your next purchase order — and to tell you what evidence each one will demand.

PPWR Packaging Checker

Describe the pack. Get the obligations.

The checker maps a specification onto the requirement register, applies the dates, and returns the evidence each obligation will ask for.

Step 1 — the specification

Describe the pack.

Nothing is stored.

What the checker will not do

It will not tell you that you are compliant. It tells you which obligations apply and what evidence they require — the assessment itself still needs your data and, for grading, an act that has not been adopted yet.

The rest of the suite

Four more, built around the same register.

Each one answers a question that comes up once the checker has told you which article you are dealing with.

Not sure where your packaging stands?

Send one specification. You get back the requirements that apply, the dates they apply from, the evidence you will need — and, if the pack cannot get there, the formats that can.
