The required information must be printed on the outside of the product or on a label attached to the outside of the product.
Labels can be printed or handwritten
The information must be clear, legible and indelible; it must not be obscured or hidden – for example, the information cannot be inside the packaging.
Mandatory information must be large enough to be legible so there is a minimum font size of an x-height of 1.2 mm, which means that the lower-case x for whatever font size cannot be smaller than 1.2 mm.
In the case of very small products (those whose largest surface is less than 80 cm2) the x-height is reduced to 0.9 mm
QR codes or links to a website are not permitted in place of providing the information on the label.
