Under EU consumer law (Directive (EU) 2019/771 & Regulation 2025/1960), producers offering a commercial guarantee of durability of more than two years at no extra cost must provide the standardised harmonised EU GARAN label.

Understand the statutory distinction between the mandatory 2-year Legal Guarantee and the voluntary commercial Durability Guarantee under European Commission regulations.
When is the GARAN Label mandatory?
The GARAN label is only mandatory when the manufacturer or producer offers a commercial guarantee of durability of more than two years at no extra cost to the consumer. If no commercial durability guarantee is provided, the GARAN label must not be displayed.
E-Commerce Online Shop Rules
In online shops, sellers must display the full Colour GARAN label or the compact Nested Display badge on the product detail page, in close proximity to the price and "Add to cart" button. The nested display must expand or link to the full label.
Physical Retail & Packaging Rules
In brick-and-mortar stores, the label may be printed in Colour or Black & White. It can be affixed directly to the product packaging, shelf tag, or product display. The minimum height must ensure clear legibility of all 24 EU translation texts in the bottom bar.

What is the difference between the Legal Guarantee Notice and the GARAN Label?
The Legal Guarantee Notice reminds consumers of their statutory minimum 2-year legal rights under EU law (seller's legal warranty). In contrast, the GARAN Label only applies when a manufacturer voluntarily provides an extended commercial guarantee of durability of more than 2 years at no additional charge.
Can I generate a GARAN label for a 2-year guarantee?
No. Under Regulation (EU) 2025/1960, the GARAN label is exclusively designed for durability guarantees exceeding 2 years (e.g. 2.5, 3, 5, 10 years). A 2-year period is already covered by the statutory legal guarantee, for which the separate Legal Guarantee Notice is used.
What does the QR code on the GARAN label do?
The QR code on the GARAN label must direct the consumer to the manufacturer's official guarantee terms, detailing the scope of coverage, claim process, and confirmation that statutory legal guarantee rights remain unaffected.
Can I customize the label colours, fonts, or symbols?
No. The visual layout, EU shield, calendar icon, GARAN logo, and multilingual translations are strictly protected and harmonized across all 27 EU Member States. You may only customize the producer name, product model, duration number, and guarantee terms link.
Where and how must the GARAN label be displayed in online shops?
For e-commerce sales, the GARAN label (or its compact Nested Display badge) must be displayed clearly and prominently on the product detail page, in close proximity to the product price and the "Add to cart" or purchase button. If a nested badge is used, clicking or hovering over it must immediately reveal the full label.
Does a commercial durability guarantee replace the mandatory 2-year legal warranty?
No. The commercial durability guarantee is always provided in addition to statutory consumer rights. It cannot reduce, restrict, or replace the mandatory 2-year legal guarantee of conformity provided by the seller under Directive (EU) 2019/771. The guarantee documentation must explicitly confirm that legal warranty rights remain unaffected.
