What it checks
- the information every online offer must show (Article 19);
- the details on the product, its packaging or an accompanying document (Articles 9(5) to 9(7), 11(3) and 16(3));
- the records a manufacturer keeps: technical documentation, a complaints channel and a register (Article 9(2), (3), (11) and (12)).
What it does not check
Whether the product is safe, and whether what you enter is correct. A marketplace checks that the fields are filled in; their accuracy stays your responsibility. Products under their own EU law, such as toys or electrical equipment, follow that law's labelling rules instead of Articles 9 and 11, but the listing information of Article 19 applies to them too.
