| (1) Reporting requirements play a key role in ensuring proper monitoring and correct enforcement of legislation. However, in order to ensure that they fulfil the purpose for which they were intended and to limit the administrative burden, it is important to streamline those requirements. | (1) Reporting requirements play a key role in ensuring proper monitoring and correct enforcement of legislation. The costs of reporting are overall largely offset by the benefits it brings, in particular as regards monitoring and ensuring compliance with key policy measures. However, in order to ensure that they fulfil their intended purpose and to limit the administrative burden, it is important to streamline those requirements. |

| (4) The increasing importance of digitalisation in simplifying regulatory frameworks necessitates the reduction and modernisation of reporting requirements and economic operators’ obligations. In line with the efforts to accelerate digitalisation, it is essential to fully digitalise business-to-authority reporting and economic operators’ obligations when they do not affect protection and safety of consumers. Embracing digitalisation will not only simplify compliance procedures but also enhance the overall efficiency of the regulatory framework, ultimately benefiting both businesses and authorities alike. | (4) The increasing importance of digitalisation in simplifying regulatory frameworks necessitates the reduction, harmonisation and modernisation of reporting requirements and economic operators’ obligations. In line with the efforts to accelerate digitalisation, it is essential to fully digitalise business-to-authority reporting and economic operators’ obligations when they do not affect protection and safety of consumers. Embracing digitalisation will not only simplify compliance procedures but also enhance the overall efficiency of the regulatory framework, ultimately benefiting both businesses and authorities alike. |

| (4a) To accompany the digital transition and prevent disproportionate burdens for micro-enterprises and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the Commission and Member States are required to set up dedicated ‘technical help desks’ for the implementation of digital procedures, linked to the European Digital Innovation Hubs of the Digital Europe Programme, and provide free or co-financed assistance, including training and access to standardised tools. |

Considering the evolution of digitalisation, it is essential to modernise this obligation by requiring that such EU declaration of conformity accompany the product in electronic form. The manufacturer should therefore make sure that the EU declaration of conformity is accessible through an internet address or a machine-readable code. | (7) Moreover, Directives 2000/14/EC, 2013/53/EU, 2014/32/EU, 2014/33/EU, 2014/34/EU and 2014/53/EU require that a copy of the declaration of conformity accompanies the product. Considering the evolution of digitalisation, it is essential to modernise this obligation by requiring that such EU declaration of conformity accompany the product in electronic form. The manufacturer should therefore make sure that the EU declaration of conformity is directly accessible through an internet address or a machine-readable code, meaning that the authorities would not have to navigate through intermediate steps, such as search menus, external websites, or additional login procedures to reach the specific EU declaration of conformity. Direct access via the internet address or the machine-readable code should be free of charge, without the need to provide any personal data, to download or use additional applications specific to the economic operator, or an obligation to register solely in order to access the EU declaration of conformity. |

| (8) Taking into account that in 2024 no less than 94% of EU households had access to internet, the paper format of the instructions for use accompanying the products under the scope of the Directives concerned is outdated and is not aligned with the current technologies, the practice of consumers nor with green objectives. Consequently, the possibility for a digital format of the instructions should be introduced in the Directives. This will allow manufacturers to instructions in digital format, if they wish to do so. Where manufacturers choose to provide instructions in digital format, in order to still protect the safety of consumers, the safety information, including instructions having impact on product safety, should be provided in paper format or marked on the product. Moreover, end-users should be able to obtain a paper copy of the instructions for use or safety information, upon request – at the time of the purchase and for a certain period of time after their purchase. | (8) Taking into account that in 2024 no less than 94% of EU households had access to internet, the paper format of the instructions for use accompanying the products under the scope of the Directives concerned is outdated and is not aligned with the current technologies, the practice of consumers nor with green objectives. Consequently, the possibility for a digital format of the instructions should be introduced in the Directives. This will allow manufacturers to provide instructions in digital format, if they wish to do so. Where manufacturers choose to provide instructions in digital format, specific safeguards for consumers should ensure that they, as non-professional users, are still able to access and understand the information, in contrast to professional users, who are expected to possess the expertise and knowledge necessary for the correct use and handling of products. Safety information, including instructions having an impact on the safe use of the products might be provided in digital format where a product is used solely by professional users, namely persons acquiring the product as professional end users in the course of their industrial or professional activities. However, where it is reasonably foreseeable that a product, even if primarily intended for professional use, could also be used by consumers, manufacturers should provide the safety information in paper format or markedmark it directly on the product. The definition of ‘consumer’ forms part of the notion of ‘end user’ as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which applies to the Directives concerned, and refers to any natural person acting for purposes outside their trade, business, craft or profession. This requirement ensures that all consumers, including vulnerable consumers such as elderly persons, persons with disabilities or those with limited digital literacy, are able to access and understand the safety information. Such information should therefore be easily visible and legible, thereby guaranteeing a high level of consumer protection and safeguarding public safety. Instructions and safety information provided in digital format should be directly accessible in particular by taking into account the requirements set out in Annex I of Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Councill, insofar as the products fall within the scope of that Directive, so as to ensure usability by all end-users, including persons with disabilities. Instructions and safety information should be directly accessible through an internet address or a machine-readable code, free of charge, without the need for providing any personal data, downloading or using additional applications specific to the economic operator or the obligation to register solely to access the instructions and safety information. Moreover, end-users should be able to obtain a paper copy of the instructions for use or safety information, upon request – at the time of purchase and for a certain period of time after their purchase. |

In light of this, the possibility for a digital format of the instructions should be introduced in the Directives concerned. This will allow manufacturers to provide instructions in digital format, if they wish to do so. Where manufacturers choose to provide instructions in digital format, in order to still protect the safety of consumers, instructions having impact on product safety, should be provided in paper format or marked on the product. However, safety information for consumers should always be provided in paper format or marked on the product. Safety information and instructions having an impact on product safety are to be intended as essential details necessary for safe and efficient use under reasonably foreseeable conditions, even if not intended for consumers. In addition, where it is reasonably foreseeable that a product, even if primarily intended for professional use by end-users, could also be used by consumers, manufacturers should provide the safety information in paper format or mark it directly on the product. Moreover, end-users should be able to obtain a paper copy of the instructions for use or safety information, upon request – at the time of the purchase and for a certain period of time after their purchase. |

The possibility to provide the instructions for use in a digital format should therefore be introduced. Manufacturers will then be able to provide digital instructions where they deem it appropriate. Where manufacturers choose the digital format, in order to still protect the safety of consumers, the safety information, including instructions having impact on product safety, shall be provided in paper format at the request of the consumer. End-users shall be able to obtain a paper copy of the instructions for use or safety information, upon request – at the time of the purchase and for a certain period of time after their purchase. Manufacturers must also offer alternative means of sending the instructions directly to the end-user in paper form free of charge, without burdening the distributor. Distributors shall not be required to print or store instructions unless they voluntarily choose to do so. The Commission should also assess whether the digital security information could be equivalent or even more effective; this assessment shall feed into a report to be published within three years. The Commission shall revise the legislation as amended by this omnibus act accordingly. |

| (8 a) In order to ensure that all consumers, including those who may not have regular access to digital tools, can effectively exercise their right to obtain the instructions or safety information in paper format, manufacturer should provide accessible means of communication for submitting such requests, including by telephone. This is particularly important for elderly consumers and other groups at risk of digital exclusion. End-users should also be clearly informed, in the safety information accompanying the product, of their right to request the instructions or safety information in paper format. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (8a) To facilitate compliance with the electronic format reporting obligations without imposing complex IT infrastructures, simplified standardised templates ('SME templates') should be provided for the digital declaration of conformity and for electronic documentation management, available to all economic operators and designed in particular for the needs of SMEs. |

| (10) In order to facilitate communication between economic operators and national competent authorities and end-users, the indication of a digital contact of the manufacturer on the product and in the EU declaration of conformity is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of market surveillance and to expedite the process of tracing non-compliant products. Currently, economic operators are required to indicate their postal address on the product, but this is not always sufficient to ensure that competent authorities can establish rapid contact. It is therefore necessary to require economic operators to provide both a postal address and a digital contact on the product and in the EU declaration of conformity. Such digital contact should be defined in the Directives. | (10) In order to facilitate communication between economic operators and national competent authorities and end-users, the indication of a digital contact of the manufacturer on the product and in the EU declaration of conformity is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of market surveillance and to expedite the process of tracing non-compliant products.

The digital contact should allow consumers and competent authorities to contact economic operators directly, and should be accessible free of charge, without the need for providing any personal data, downloading or using additional applications specific to the economic operator or the obligation to register solely to contact the economic operator. Such digital contact may include, for example, an email address or a contact form on a website. However, it should not be understood as encompassing automatic replies to queries, chatbots, fax numbers, or telephone lines. The term ‘digital contact’, similarly to the term ‘electronic address’ in Regulation (EU) 2023/988 of the European Parliament and of the Council, should be interpreted in a technologically neutral manner, capable of evolving with future technological developments, and should cover all forms of direct digital communication. |

| (13) The current Union standardisation framework which is based on Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council represents the framework by default to elaborate standards that provide for a presumption of conformity with the relevant essential health and safety requirements or with other requirements. However, where no harmonised standards exist or where they are insufficient, the Commission should be able to adopt implementing acts establishing common specifications for the essential health and safety or other requirements, as an exceptional fall-back solution to facilitate the manufacturer’s obligation to comply with those health and safety or other requirements. | (13) Harmonised standards remain the preferred option. Common specifications shall be temporary and proportionate, adopted only when European Norms (ENs) are not sufficient and/or in cases of urgency, following wide consultation with SMEs. |

| (14) As the digital product passport is foreseen in certain Union legislations, such as Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council, it is essential to require the economic operators to store the information contained in the EU declaration of conformity and instructions for use in the digital product passport where a product is covered by multiple pieces of legislation. This approach would reduce the administrative burden on manufacturers, as they would no longer need to maintain separate storage locations for compliance documents. By storing the documentation in one place, all necessary documents demonstrating product compliance would be easily accessible, ensuring transparency and facilitating compliance. This streamlined approach would enhance the overall efficiency of the regulatory framework and aligns with the principle that where several pieces of Union harmonisation legislation apply to a product, the manufacturer or any other economic operator, where appropriate, should provide a single EU declaration of conformity. | (14) As the digital product passport is foreseen in certain Union legislations, such as Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 of the European Parliament and of the Council, it is essential to require the economic operators to store the information contained in the EU declaration of conformity and instructions for use in the digital product passport where a product is covered by multiple pieces of legislation. This approach would reduce the administrative burden on manufacturers, as they would no longer need to maintain separate storage locations for compliance documents - such as declarations of conformity - required under the various pieces of product legislation that may apply to the same product, thereby upholding the principle of a single declaration of conformity. In addition, instructions provided in electronic form would be stored together with the declaration of conformity. By storing the documentation in one place, all necessary documents demonstrating product compliance would be easily accessible, ensuring transparency and facilitating compliance.
