e-marking of prepackages guarantees that you avoid possible hindrance to exports of prepackages. With e-marking, you cannot be denied export of your products in an EEA country provided reasons for lack of net contents.

The e-mark ensures easier import and export of prepackages

e-marking guarantees that products are packed according to applicable EU Directive.

The e-mark is mutually accepted by all countries in the EEA. That means the EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. As a producer or an importer, you are ensured easier export and import of your products in the above-mentioned countries.

FORCE Technology offers consultancy about the e-marking rules, to ensure that your company comply with the legal requirements. We offer consultancy to both importers and exporters of prepackages in Denmark.

e-marking is an international and approved parameter within trading

For exporters

As an exporter, e-marking your products allows you to guarantee the average quantity of content stated at the prepackages. At the same time, the requirements specify the tolerable negative error of a single prepack. For that reason, you can use the e-marking regulations as a basis for agreement between you and your customer.

For importers

As an importer of prepackages from all EEA countries, you are free to import into the EEA countries. However, import of e-marked prepackages from countries outside EEA requires compliance with the requirement for documentation of the quantity control – as the case for manufacturing in Denmark.

How to obtain e-marking of your prepackaging

e-marking is a voluntary scheme that you as a company can report the use of yourself to the Danish Safety Technology Authority. The Danish Safety Technology Authority has prepared a guide about using the e-mark.

As the guide does not cover all the conditions a company may encounter, FORCE Technology offers:
  • advice about establishing a quantity control system that meets the legal requirements
  • regular inspection visits to ensure that your quantity control system delivers batches of prepackages that comply with the legal requirements.

Epsilon-marked measuring container bottles ("3" - mirrored epsilon)

The epsilon-mark is relevant to producers of bottles. Epsilon-marked bottles allow the packers using the e-mark to control the quantity without breaking the packaging. The epsilon-mark is also useable as basis for an agreement for the quantity that the bottle can contain when filled accordingly.

FORCE Technology offer consultancy about establishing a quantity control system, as well as regular inspection visits, to ensure that your quantity control system delivers batches of epsilon-marked measuring container bottles that comply with the legal requirements.
