Since 27 September 2026, online stores in the EU must remind shoppers of their legal guarantee rights with an official, harmonised design, and show a specific label when a producer offers a long durability guarantee. It is part of the EU’s push to help consumers choose products that last.
What the regulation says
The Directive (EU) 2024/825 on empowering consumers for the green transition amends the Consumer Rights Directive and introduces two harmonised formats, whose artwork is fixed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1960:
- Harmonised notice: a reminder of the legal guarantee of conformity (at least two years in the EU) that sellers of goods must show to consumers before they buy.
- Harmonised label: required when the producer offers a commercial guarantee of durability longer than two years, free of charge and covering the whole product. It shows the duration and identifies the producer and the model.
Why it matters for your store
These formats are mandatory and identical across the EU, so a missing notice is easy to spot. For shoppers, they are also a trust signal: a durability label clearly shows that a product is built to last, which can tip the balance against a cheaper competitor.
Platforms do not have a place to upload these images per language, or to attach a durability label to specific products.
How our addon solves it
Guarantee Notice & Durability Label shows both formats where the purchase decision is made:
- Legal guarantee notice on product pages and in the cart, with one image per store language.
- Durability labels per product, with duration, brand and model, managed from a dedicated back-office page.
- Validated uploads: only real images are accepted and labels need the required fields before they are saved.
- Smart display: virtual products show neither notice nor label.
Available for PrestaShop, WooCommerce and Drupal Commerce, with new versions for life and 6 months of direct support from the developers.
This article is general information, not legal advice. Which products qualify for a label is up to the producer and the seller.
