Do I need a GARAN label?
Answer five short questions about your guarantee. In under a minute you will see whether advertising it triggers the GARAN label under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1960. This is guidance, not legal advice.
Last updated July 28, 2026
Do you grant a commercial guarantee of durability on the product?
A voluntary promise by the producer or seller that the product will last, on top of the statutory legal guarantee that applies to every sale.
Does that guarantee last more than two years?
The label only concerns guarantees longer than the two-year mark.
Does it cover the whole product?
Not just a single component. A guarantee limited to one component generally does not trigger the label.
Is it offered at no extra cost?
Included with the product, not a paid extended-warranty add-on.
Do you advertise or communicate it to consumers?
On the product page, packaging or marketing. Advertising the guarantee is what triggers the obligation.
Yes, you likely need a GARAN label
All four conditions apply and you advertise the guarantee, so the label is triggered. You can create a spec-conformant label now, for free, from three inputs: duration, brand and model.
Likely not required
Without a commercial guarantee of durability beyond the statutory legal guarantee, the GARAN label is not triggered.
Likely not required
The GARAN label only concerns guarantees of more than two years. A guarantee of two years or less does not trigger it.
Likely not required
The guarantee must cover the whole product. One limited to a single component generally does not trigger the label.
Likely not required
The label concerns a guarantee offered at no extra cost. A paid extended-warranty add-on is a different case.
Likely not required
The obligation is triggered by advertising the guarantee to consumers. If you do not communicate it, the label is generally not required. Note that once you advertise it, the label becomes mandatory.
Frequently asked questions

You need it when you advertise a commercial guarantee of durability of more than two years, covering the whole product, at no extra cost. If any of those is missing, the label is generally not triggered.

Advertising the qualifying guarantee to consumers. The obligation follows the advertising itself under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1960.

No. The label concerns a guarantee offered at no extra cost. Paid add-on warranties are a different case.
Do online-only sellers need a GARAN label?
Yes, if they advertise a guarantee of more than two years on the whole product at no extra cost. Online you also show a clickable link to the same EU page as the QR code.
