General information, not legal advice. Output is based only on the data you enter; no material testing or compliance certification is performed. Check the product, destination language requirements and applicable labelling duties before use.

Verified terminology / Not included

Official Annex I written indications are included in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch. Polish, Turkish and all other label languages are not included because their indications were not verified here. No pictogram approximations are used.

Enter surface-area shares for the upper and lining/sock, and volume shares for the outer sole. At least 80% selects one material; otherwise the two main materials are shown (Article 4). Exclude accessories and reinforcements when assessing the upper (Article 1). Check the Annex I material definitions. Attach the label to at least one shoe in each pair and check the destination’s language requirements.
