Step 1: EU Login Account
Create an EU Login account
Step 2: Log into EPREL
Log into EPREL: when you first log in EPREL, without having been invited by an existing user, you automatically become the Supplier Administrator (Admin/Supplier Admin) and you are requested to create your EPREL Organisation profile (you may later delegate this role to another Supplier Admin).
Step 3: Create your EPREL Organization
In this phase you will be asked to indicate if the Organisation you are creating is a Legal Entity or a Natural Person: this refers to the legal nature of the Organisation for which you are registering product models.
Step 4: Create your EPREL Trademarks
Supplier Admins are the only users entitled to create the trademarks (brands) to be used in the registration of models. It is mandatory to define at least one trademark, in order to start registering product models. You can add trademarks at any later moment: when registering models have to select the appropriate trademark from a dropdown list of the trademarks already defined.
Step 5: Create your EPREL Contacts
Supplier Admins are the only users entitled to create the contacts to be used in the registration of models. In order to start registering product models is mandatory to define:
a. at least one contact for compliance purposes (i.e. the contact where a compliance control authority would address requests of clarifications or commit corrections, remedies to issues found in products, etc. Each model has to be associated to a compliance contact but the same can be for all models. If more than one contact is entered, one can be selected as “the default”. This contact is not publicly visible.
b. at least one “Public contact” where citizens can address their questions. Same requirements as for the compliance contact. For every published model, the public contact will be shown in the public EPREL system, There can also be a “default” public contact.
Step 6: Invite Members
Invite Members to your Organisation: Supplier Admins can invite additional users to become Supplier Admins, Supplier Users and Supplier Readers of the Organisation and manage models registrations. An Organisation can have multiple Supplier Admins, all having rights to edit the Organisation profile.
Step 7: Get your EPREL Organisation verified
Get your EPREL Organisation verified: this is required to:
- a. ensure that your organisation is the official and authentic one
- b. ensure that is entitled to act as Supplier, in respect to the obligations deriving from the Regulation (being established in the Union)
- c. and ensure that you, as Supplier Admin, are enabled to register models on behalf of your organisation.
Before you register any model, your organisation needs to be a “verified” supplier.
