art_22__para_5

5. The manufacturer shall ensure that its products bear a manufacturer-specific unique identification code of the product type and, where available, a batch or serial number which is easily visible and legible for users. Where that is not possible on account of the nature of the product, the required information shall be provided on an affixed label, on the packaging or, where that is also not possible, in a document accompanying the product. The manufacturer shall, in the same way as set out in the first subparagraph, label a product as ‘Only for professional use’ if expertise is needed in order to use it and shall display the label to customers before they are bound by a sales contract, including in the case of distance selling. Products not labelled ‘Only for professional use’ shall be deemed to also be intended for non-professional users and consumers within the meaning of this Regulation and of Regulation (EU) 2023/988. The manufacturer shall display to customers, in a visible manner, before they are bound by a sales contract, including in the case of distance selling, the information which must be provided pursuant to this Regulation.
