EU GARAN LABEL · KNOWLEDGE

The EU GARAN label. Understand it. Apply it correctly.

The GARAN label supports harmonised consumer information about commercial guarantees of durability. The decisive factors are the applicable legal requirements, product-specific information and correct presentation in the relevant sales context.

Fundamentals

What the GARAN label identifies.

The harmonised label concerns commercial guarantees of durability under the applicable conditions. It does not replace statutory consumer rights or the assessment of whether the labelling requirements apply to a particular product.

01 / Purpose

Consumer information

The label presents selected information about a commercial guarantee of durability in a standardised form.

02 / Product link

Clear identification

Manufacturer or brand, model and guarantee duration connect the information to the particular product.

03 / Presentation

Digital and physical

The label is used in the relevant sales context, for example online or at the point of sale.

Where it is used

GARAN goes beyond the screen.

Whether in an online shop, on suitable product packaging or at the point of sale, the information must be presented appropriately for the particular product.

Online

Displayed in connection with the product being offered.

Packaging

Physical labelling where the specific application calls for it.

Point of sale

Consumer information close to the relevant product.

Manufacturer / Brand

Model identifier

Guarantee duration

An important distinction

GARAN is not a statutory warranty notice.

A commercial guarantee of durability is distinct from statutory consumer rights. An accompanying notice about those rights serves a different purpose from the GARAN label.

GARAN label

Information about a commercial guarantee of durability where the relevant conditions are met.

Statutory rights notice

Separate consumer information about statutory rights, which may be supplied independently.
