Free PPWR technical conformity tool
Build the technical file first. Open the declaration only when the evidence is ready.
This is not an EPR declaration. It is a guided PPWR technical-conformity workflow for packaging manufacturers: scope the packaging, identify the manufacturer, assess Articles 5–12, organise evidence, build Annex VII technical documentation and prepare the Annex VIII EU Declaration of Conformity.

Direct answer
The technical file and the EU Declaration of Conformity are not the same document.
Annex VII is the evidence-based technical record behind the conformity assessment. Annex VIII is the concise EU Declaration of Conformity issued by the manufacturer once conformity with the applicable requirements has been demonstrated.
Outputs
What the builder produces
The child application is a document workspace, not a one-page form.
Evidence preparation list
Profile-sensitive checklist for supplier documents, tests, traceability and internal records.
Annex VII technical documentation
Structured technical record with identification, design, manufacturing control, risk assessment, specifications and assessment summaries.
Annex VIII EU Declaration
Signature-ready declaration in the Annex VIII order, blocked until the required technical gates are closed.
Authority pack
DoC + technical documentation + evidence index + original evidence files + manifest in one ZIP.
Workflow
How to use it
Define the packaging
Identify one controlled packaging type or family and the relevant revision.
Establish the PPWR manufacturer
Record the legal entity and the factual reasoning behind the manufacturer role.
Close evidence and requirement gates
Attach the supporting evidence and document the applicable Articles 5–12 assessment.
Export only when ready
Use draft technical exports during preparation; unlock the legal declaration and authority pack when blockers are closed.
Important boundaries
- Generating a file does not mean the EU, a Member State authority or Beyoğlu Professional approved the packaging.
- Browser storage is a working convenience, not the statutory archive. Keep an independent controlled copy.
- Country language rules remain destination-specific. A working-language PDF is not automatically valid for every Member State.
- Supplier declarations support the technical file but do not automatically replace the manufacturer's conformity assessment.
FAQ
Do I need a new DoC for every shipment?
Not as a general rule. Annex VII requires a written declaration for each packaging type. A controlled packaging type can cover repeated production while the conformity basis remains unchanged; changes that may affect conformity require reassessment and, where necessary, an updated declaration.
Is the DoC an EPR declaration?
No. PPWR technical conformity and national packaging EPR registration/reporting are separate regulatory layers.
Can I use supplier declarations as the final DoC?
Supplier information can be supporting evidence. The PPWR manufacturer remains responsible for the conformity assessment and the EU Declaration of Conformity.
Does the builder upload my evidence?
The application is designed local-first. Evidence files are stored in browser IndexedDB and can be exported in a workspace or authority-pack ZIP.
