COMMISSION NOTICE The ‘Blue Guide’ on the implementation of EU product rules 2022 · European Union

The manufacturer is any natural or legal person who is responsible for designing or manufacturing a product and places it on the market under his own name or trademark (105). The definition contains two cumulative conditions: the person has to manufacture (or have a product manufactured) and to market the product under his own name or trademark. So, if the product is marketed under another person’s name or trademark, this person will be considered as the manufacturer.
