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.

    What this example shows

    The tool at the top of this page is filled with the example. The manufacturer (Example Trading Co., Ltd., Shenzhen) and the EU representative (Example EU Representative GmbH, Berlin) are made up — replace them with your own companies before printing.

    • Product: building bricks set, 250 pieces, model BB-250, batch LOT 2611-T.
    • Warnings in five languages: Warning! Not suitable for children under 3 years. Small parts. Choking hazard. and the plastic packaging warning.
    • Symbols: CE mark and the 0–3 pictogram.
    • Size 100 × 50 mm.

    Why these warnings

    The set has small parts and could be dangerous for children under three, who might still get hold of it. Directive 2009/48/EC Annex V Part B point 1 asks for a warning such as “Not suitable for children under 36 months” or the 0–3 pictogram, followed by a brief indication of the specific hazard — here small parts, choking hazard. The warning is preceded by “Warning” (Art. 11(2)). Age group by age group: toy warnings by age.

    What else the toy needs

    • The CE mark after the conformity assessment, and the EC declaration of conformity.
    • The manufacturer's name, trade name or mark and address, and a type, batch or serial number.
    • An economic operator in the EU with its contact details on the toy, packaging, parcel or accompanying document (Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 Art. 4); an EU importer adds its own details.
    • The minimum age and the under-3 warning visible before purchase, including in your online listing.

    Adapt the example

    • Toy designed for children under three: remove the under-3 warning and the 0–3 symbol — it contradicts the intended use.
    • Toy with a long cord: change the hazard line, e.g. own text EN: Long cord. Strangulation hazard.
    • Toy with batteries: add the battery warning and, for electric toys, the crossed-out bin.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the 0–3 pictogram enough?

    The pictogram may replace the words, but the specific hazard must still be indicated — on the toy, its packaging or in the instructions.

    Do I need all five languages?

    Use the languages of the countries you sell in. The member state can require warnings in a language its consumers easily understand.
