art_27__para_7

7. Manufacturers shall ensure that a product covered by a delegated act adopted pursuant to Article 4 is accompanied by instructions in digital format concerning the product (‘digital instructions’) in a language that can be easily understood, as determined by the Member State concerned. Digital instructions shall be clear, understandable and legible and include at least the information set out in Article 7(2), point (b)(ii), as specified in that delegated act. However, manufacturers shall provide in paper, in a concise format, safety information and the instructions relevant for the health and safety of customers and other relevant actors. When providing the digital instructions, the manufacturer shall include them in the digital product passport and make them accessible through the corresponding data carrier, or, where the digital product passport is not applicable, indicate on the product, or, where that is not possible, on its packaging or in an accompanying document, how to access the digital instructions. The manufacturer shall present the digital instructions in a format that makes it possible to download and save them on an electronic device so that the user can access them at all times and shall make them accessible online during the expected lifetime of the product, but in any event for at least 10 years after the placing on the market or putting into service of the product. Where the customer so requests at the time of the purchase, or up to six months after that purchase, the manufacturer shall provide the digital instructions in a paper format, free of charge, within one month of receiving the request. The delegated acts adopted pursuant to Article 4 may specify that certain information forming part of the digital instructions is also to be provided in paper format.
