Quick answers to the most common technical writing & labelling questions
What EU directives require user manuals or instructions for use?
Most CE-marked products require instructions for use under the applicable directive — including the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), Machinery Regulation, Radio Equipment Directive (RED), and the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). Each has specific content requirements, language obligations, and formatting rules.
Which languages are required for user manuals in the EU?
User manuals must be in the official language(s) of each EU member state where the product is placed on the market. Selling in France, Germany, and Spain requires manuals in French, German, and Spanish. EcoComply handles multilingual drafting and review across all 24 EU official languages.
What labelling is required for CE-marked products?
At minimum: CE marking with correct dimensions and placement, manufacturer name and address, product identification, WEEE crossed-out wheelie bin symbol (for electronics), battery labelling (if applicable), and country-specific EPR registration numbers.
Can you review my existing user manual for compliance?
Yes. We offer both full drafting from scratch and compliance review of existing documentation. Our review covers content completeness against applicable directives, safety warning adequacy, language obligations, and labelling compliance.
How long does it take to produce a compliant user manual?
5–7 business days for a single-language manual, 7–12 business days for multilingual versions. Our AI-accelerated process is 3–5x faster than traditional technical writing agencies.
Do you provide the actual label artwork files?
We provide detailed label specifications with exact dimensions, placement guidelines, colour requirements, and regulatory references. For print-ready vector artwork, we can coordinate with your design team or produce them as an add-on service.
