Safety warnings & languages

Languages (the languages of the countries you sell to)

Safety warnings

Start a line with the language code (EN:, DE:, FR: …) to merge it into that language's warning line.

Built-in translations follow the usual wording in each language. Have a native speaker check them before a large print run, and follow the specific rules for your product category (e.g. toys, cosmetics, electrical).

Symbols, QR code & logo

Only use the CE mark if your product falls under an EU law that requires it (e.g. toys, electrical products). The CE mark is drawn at least 5 mm high.

For a manual or safety information page. A QR code adds information; it does not replace the details that must be printed on the label.

    Listing text (Art. 19) for Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify

    Art. 19 asks online offers to show the manufacturer, the EU responsible person, product identification and warnings. Paste into the product description or the marketplace's safety fields.

    Warnings text in all chosen languages

    For manuals, packaging artwork or the listing.

    General information, not legal advice. You are responsible for the content of your labels and for the rules of your product category.

    Why warnings must be translated

    GPSR Article 9(7) asks manufacturers to give instructions and safety information in a language consumers easily understand, as determined by the member state where the product is sold. Article 19(d) asks the same for warnings shown in online offers. In practice: German for Germany and Austria, French for France and (with Dutch) Belgium, and so on for each market you ship to.

    How to use it

    1. Click Amazon EU (8) for the Amazon marketplaces, or pick languages one by one.
    2. Tick the warnings for your product: general, toys, electrical and batteries, personal care, home.
    3. Add your own lines with a language code, e.g. DE: Vor dem ersten Gebrauch spülen.
    4. Copy the warnings text under the preview, download it as .txt, or print it on the label.

    On the label each language gets its own line starting with its code (DE:, FR:, IT:…). If one language only is chosen, the code is left out.

    About the translations

    The built-in texts follow the usual wording on EU packaging; the toy warnings follow the wording of the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC. They are a starting point, not a certified translation: for big print runs or regulated categories (toys, cosmetics, electrical equipment), have the text checked by a native speaker or your compliance adviser.

    Frequently asked questions

    Which 22 languages are included?

    English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Croatian, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian. Irish and Maltese markets also use English.

    Can I translate my own warning text?

    The tool has no machine translation. Add your own wording per language in “Your own text”, one line per language starting with the code (EN:, DE:, FR:…).

    Which warnings does a toy need?

    Toys follow the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC (moving to the new Toy Safety Regulation). Typical ones are the “not suitable for children under 3 years” warning with the specific hazard and “use under the direct supervision of adults”. See the toy warning labels page.

    Is the warnings text free?

    Yes — copying and downloading the warnings text, and printing it on single labels, is free.
