Declarations of Conformity
Based on a PPWR technical documentation, acadon PPWR produces two legally relevant documents:
- The EU Declaration of Conformity, with which you as the producer declare the conformity of your packaging in accordance with Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR).
- The Packaging Component Compliance Declaration, which you as the supplier provide to your customer so that they can compile their own technical documentation and EU declaration of conformity.
Set up the signatory details
The EU declaration of conformity contains a signature block. You enter the required details once in the setup:
- Choose the
icon, enter PPWR Setup, and then choose the related link. - Open the Declaration of Conformity FastTab and fill in the fields.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Signature Place | Specifies the place shown in the "Place, Date" line of the EU declaration of conformity. If the field is empty, the city from the company information is used. |
| Signatory Name | Specifies the name of the person who signs the EU declaration of conformity. |
| Signatory Function | Specifies the function or title of the signing person. |
Use the Upload Image action to store a signature image that is printed on the EU declaration of conformity. Use Clear Image to remove it again.
Note
The remaining details of the signature block — company name and address — come from the Company Information. Keep these complete so that the declaration is printed correctly.

In addition, the harmonised standards used for the assessment are stated.
