EU warranty label: we build the new obligation into your shop

Since 27 September 2026, retailers selling to consumers must display a uniform EU label on the statutory warranty, clearly visible and before the contract is concluded. We integrate the label correctly into WooCommerce, Shopware, PrestaShop and Joomla shops.

The official label

This is what the mandatory labelling looks like

On the left, the notice on the statutory warranty that every shop must display. On the right, the GARAN label, which is added if the manufacturer's guarantee is longer than two years. Both are prescribed EU-wide and are embedded unchanged.

What has changed

The basis is the European Directive (EU) 2024/825 on empowering consumers. It introduces two standardised notices intended to inform buyers of their rights before they make a purchase.

  • Warranty label: Mandatory for all retailers who sell goods to consumers.
  • Guarantee label (“GARAN”): additionally required if the manufacturer gives a free durability guarantee of more than two years on the entire product.

On marketplaces too

The obligation applies not only in your own shop, but also to retailers on Amazon, eBay and other marketplaces. What matters is who the buyer's contractual partner is.

How the label must be displayed

  • Unchanged: Design and texts are prescribed and must not be adapted.
  • In colour and clearly visible, not hidden in the footer or terms and conditions.
  • Before the contract is concluded, i.e. at the latest during the ordering process.
  • For the guarantee label, only the guarantee period, manufacturer and model are to be entered.

Risk of legal warnings

Missing, altered or incorrectly placed labels can be the subject of legal warnings under competition law. Precisely because the label is uniform, deviations are quickly noticed.

What we implement technically

We embed the label so that it sits in the theme in an update-proof way and appears in the right place on all devices.

  • Check where your shop must display the label.
  • Integration on product pages and in the ordering process, on mobile and desktop.
  • Automatic guarantee label for products with a manufacturer guarantee of more than two years.
  • Testing and a short handover so that new products receive the label without any effort.

Combining pays off

If you are retrofitting the withdrawal button anyway, you should have both implemented in one go. This saves testing effort.

Note

We take care of the technical implementation. Your legal advisor takes care of the legal assessment of your product range.
