You should verify whether the manufacturer and importer (where applicable) have complied with the following requirements regarding the product you intend to distribute: That the product bears a type, batch or serial number or other element enabling the identification of the product which is easily visible and legible for consumers, or, where the size or nature of the product does not allow it, that the required information is provided on the packaging or in a document accompanying the product. That the manufacturer has indicated its name, its registered trade name or registered trademark, its postal and electronic address and, where different, the postal or electronic address of the single contact point where it can be contacted. That information should be placed on the product or, if that is not possible, on its packaging or in a document accompanying the product. That the product is accompanied by clear instructions and safety information in a language which consumers can easily understand, as determined by the Member State in which the product is made available on the market. This is not required if the product can be used safely and as intended by the manufacturer without such instructions and safety information. If an importer is involved in the supply chain, that the importer has indicated its name, its registered trade name or registered trademark, its postal and electronic address and, where different, the postal or electronic address of the single contact point where it can be contacted. That information must be placed on the product or, where that is not possible, on its packaging or in a document accompanying the product. That there is no additional label obscuring any information required by EU law on the label provided by the manufacturer or the importer.
