Reminder

Two mandatory properties are needed in order to create the product model record in EPREL: 

  • Brand/Trademark – representing the product brand (e.g. Samsung, LG, …) 
  • Model identifier – representing the alphanumeric code given by the Manufacturer. This code should be unique across products from the same brand/trademark.

Click on NEW MODEL to reach the “Product model creation” page:

Once you click on CREATE, the product model will be created in EPREL with the basic given information. You now need to fill in the remaining details in order to complete the product registration, and further trigger the product publication in the Public and Compliance Applications.

Good to know

  • Now that the product entry is created, it will have the status INCOMPLETE.
  • EPREL is now assigning each created product model an EPREL Registration Number. This is a unique ID across all product groups. This number can be used in global search to find a product faster. This internal number will also be shared with the consumers of the public API (e.g. e-commerce shops, retailers, ..) and is the number used in in the QR codes of the labels.
  • Creating product model without publishing them doesn't ensure compliance with regulations. This is because until products are published, they will not be visible to MSAs.
