We are writing to inform you about a new European regulation that introduces additional obligations for merchants selling through online platforms, including you, as an eMAG Marketplace seller.
What’s changing, in short:
- Directive (EU) 2024/825 (“ECGT” – Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition) has been transposed into Romanian law through OUG 18/2026. The provisions on consumer information become applicable starting September 27, 2026.
- Before a consumer completes an order, the merchant must clearly display two types of information:
- Legal guarantee of conformity – mandatory for all products. It is displayed through a “harmonized label,” a single model established by the EU, which cannot be modified.
- Commercial durability guarantee – applies only if the manufacturer offers it free of charge, for the entire product, for a period longer than 2 years. It is displayed through a “harmonized label,” with a standard EU format.
Both types of information must be visible before the order is placed, must contain a functional QR code, and must comply with the established format (color, size), with no changes to the content.
What this means for you:
- You will need to make sure your products meet these information requirements.
- You will need to send us the necessary documents and information (for example, if you offer a commercial durability guarantee, for which products and for what duration), so that we can jointly demonstrate compliance with the new obligations.
The official templates for the notice and label, along with the high-resolution vector files, are available directly on the European Commission’s page.
What’s next:
In the coming period, we will follow up with specific details on the applicable requirements, the documents you will need to send us, and the workflow we will implement on the platform to manage these obligations.
If you have any questions, you can reach us via Mira.
Thank you for your cooperation.
