How many documents can I generate for free?
Five, across every generator on the site, with no account, no card and no email. That is enough to see whether the documents are what you need. Above it, a paid plan raises the allowance: 500 on Pro, unlimited on Business — or a day pass for €29 if you have one busy afternoon and no reason to subscribe. Everything you generate is a self-contained file that is yours to keep, whether or not you ever pay.
Is the GPSR already in force?
Yes. The General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 has applied since 13 December 2024. Article 19 requires distance-selling listings to display, before purchase, the manufacturer's identity and postal and electronic address, an EU Responsible Person with contact details where the manufacturer is outside the EU, product identifying information with an image, and safety warnings in the language of the country of sale. Marketplaces can delist listings that miss this information, and customs can hold shipments that lack an EU Responsible Person.
Does the withdrawal button apply to my shop?
If you sell to consumers in the EU through a website or app and a statutory right of withdrawal applies, yes — and it has applied since 19 June 2026. Directive (EU) 2023/2673 inserted Article 11a into the Consumer Rights Directive. The directive is titled for distance financial services, which is why it is widely mis-scoped, but Article 11a is horizontal and reaches most B2C e-commerce: physical goods, digital products, subscriptions, bookings and apps. You need a clearly labelled withdrawal function that is continuously available throughout the withdrawal period, a separate confirmation step, and an acknowledgement on a durable medium carrying the content of the statement and the date and time of submission. Contracts with no statutory right of withdrawal — bespoke goods, perishables, sealed hygiene items — are unaffected. National transposition still varies; the Commission opened infringement procedures against 21 Member States in January 2026.
Do I need to do anything about the AI Act?
If you put AI in front of people in the EU, probably yes. Since 2 August 2026, Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 has required four things: a system that interacts directly with people must make clear it is a machine; synthetic audio, image, video and text must be marked in a machine-readable format and detectable as AI-generated; deployers of emotion recognition or biometric categorisation must inform the people exposed; and deepfakes, along with AI-written text published to inform the public on matters of public interest, must be disclosed. There is no transition: every duty above has applied since 2 August 2026, the machine-readable marking included. Penalties reach €15 million or 3% of worldwide annual turnover. Our tool writes the human-readable notices; the machine-readable marking is a watermarking problem no text generator can solve, and we say so on the page.
When do I need a PPWR Declaration of Conformity for packaging?
Since 12 August 2026, when Regulation (EU) 2025/40 started to apply. The manufacturer of the packaging draws it up under its sole responsibility, structured per Annex VIII, and keeps it available with the technical documentation. Importers must ensure the conformity assessment was carried out and that the packaging is accompanied by the required documents (Article 18(2)). Distributors have a different list — producer registration, labelling, and the manufacturer's and importer's identification details (Article 19(2)) — and the declaration is not on it. The declaration attests to an assessment you have already made — the substantive requirements on substances of concern, recyclability, recycled content and minimisation sit in the regulation itself.
Do I need an EU Declaration of Conformity?
If your product carries the CE marking, yes. The manufacturer draws it up under its sole responsibility before the mark is affixed and keeps it on file, typically for ten years after the product is placed on the market. One declaration can cover several acts at once — a lamp under the Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS directives gets a single declaration listing all of them. Most sectors follow the model in Annex III of Decision 768/2008/EC, but some set their own: medical devices under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and in-vitro diagnostics under Regulation (EU) 2017/746 are the common exceptions.
Do I need a Digital Product Passport?
The battery passport. Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 makes a Digital Product Passport mandatory from 18 February 2027 for EV batteries, LMT batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh — portable batteries are excluded. It is currently the only legally binding DPP in EU law. The ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) is a framework intended to extend passports to other sectors, but no delegated act creating an obligation for any other product group has been adopted yet.
Does anything I type leave my device?
Not while you are generating. All generation happens client-side in your browser. Product details you type are kept in your browser's local storage on your own device so that other RulesOf.EU tools can offer to prefill them, and they are never transmitted while you work. There is no analytics on your form contents and no account tying what you generate to an identity. There is no exception: we do not host documents on any plan, so nothing you make here is ever sent to us.
If I use these tools, am I fully compliant?
No, and we want to be direct about that. Each tool generates one specific document or information block that a regulation requires. Compliance usually involves more: risk assessments, conformity assessment procedures, technical files retained for roughly ten years, appointing an EU Responsible Person, registrations, and correct marking. The tools tell you on each page exactly what they do and do not cover. RulesOf.EU is an independent informational resource, not legal advice.
What do the paid plans add?
Volume, and CSV batch import. Free gives you five documents, one at a time. Pro (€69/mo) gives you 500 and lets you upload a CSV to produce one document per row. CSV batch import covers the declaration generators. Business (€199/mo) is the same with no ceiling. We do not host documents on any plan — every download is yours and lives on your machine.
