On August 12, 2026, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation begins to apply, and any organization placing packaging on the EU market must be able to demonstrate conformity before that date. The exposure is concrete: shipments held at the border, lost market access, and audit findings that surface only after product is already in transit. The conformity assessment procedure under Article 39 requires technical documentation and a signed EU Declaration of Conformity, scoped first to Article 5 substance limits covering heavy metals and PFAS in food-contact packaging. Assembling that evidence by hand across dozens of SKUs and suppliers is where most programs stall.

This PPWR Declaration of Conformity checklist works through each pre-deadline obligation in sequence, from BOM-level substance mapping to automated supplier data collection and audit-ready documentation. It reflects how AI-driven compliance and continuous audit readiness reshape the work, replacing scattered spreadsheets with a defensible system of record. Certivo, an AI-powered compliance platform, supports this through CORA-powered regulatory intelligence. See where a structured risk assessment fits, then read the full analysis.
