Safety Warnings
Safety warnings and labels are extremely important pieces of information for consumers as they warn a user of any risks associated with the product, or provide instructions on safe use of the product, and what actions should be taken to ensure safe use or disposal of the product.
You must provide a safety warning for each SKU if applicable. A product can have more than one applicable warning.
CE Marking
A CE mark demonstrates to the customer that your product has been assessed by the manufacturer and meets the legislative requirements. You can find more information about products that require a CE mark by visiting this web page issued by the European Commission.
You must indicate for each SKU whether a CE mark is present if they’re in a mandatory category or it may be removed from sale.
Ingredients
If your products fall within the category of cosmetics or food supplements, you will be required to provide the list of ingredients. You should include, where appropriate: ingredient, quantity, and unit.
You must include ingredients for each SKU if they’re in a mandatory category or it may be removed from sale.
Serial Number
