After the sale, what information must be supplied to the end-user (e.g. on the invoice) in order to allow him/her access to the label/PIS information of the product(s) he bought?

The tyre label is intended as an aid to support the user in an informed 'purchase' decision. It is crucial, therefore, that the user can see the label (and, if desired, the product information sheet) 'before' taking the purchase decision.

No obligation of displaying the label has been set for any document produced 'after' the payment or similar commitment by the customer.  It is obviously a good practice to document the choice of the customer, once done, and for this a QR code or the human-readable equivalent URL could be printed in the invoice or analogous post-sales document, thus giving to the customer the possibility of having access to the full tyre registration in EPREL.
