Additional information in offers
From September, we will require additional information in some offers
Learn more about the new duty and check whether it will apply to you.
If you sell connected products or related services, starting September 12, 2025, your offers must contain information on how such devices and software process data.
This is a duty that stems from the EU's Data Act.
What the connected products and related services are
Connected products — they are devices that connect to other devices or networks to share data, such as smartphones, smart watches, and smart home appliances like thermostats, lighting, or refrigerators.
Related services — they are services directly related to connected products and affect their functioning, value, or usability. Those are:
- mobile apps for managing the device, for example, an app for controlling smart lighting
- subscriptions that offer additional features for a device — for example, a subscription for additional recipes for a connected product for cooking.
How you can fulfill your information duty
If you sell connected products or related services, you can make sure you fulfill your information duty right now.
Add a document explaining how a given device or service processes information in the offer. The manufacturer or distributor should provide that information. You can check whether the manufacturer published it on the website or attached it to the product or service.
You can add documents as attachments:
- when listing or editing an offer through the form
- through the API.
What happens if you fail to provide the required information in your offer
After September 12, 2025, we will have the right to remove offers for which you do not fulfill the information duty. We will do it, for example, if a customer files a complaint that your offers lack information about how the product or software processes data.
GPSR: we will automatically suggest missing data in your offers
Check the data we suggest. Confirm or edit them, and sell in accordance with the GPSR. Read what we are changing in the options for adding information about the manufacturer and product safety.

According to the GPSR, you must complete the following information in the offers:
- manufacturer's details
- responsible person's details (if the manufacturer does not have a registered office in the EU)
- safety information.
We automatically suggest this data to you if it is missing in your offers. By doing so, we help you sell in compliance with the law.
How to add missing data
- Go to the My Assortment tab.
- Check the data we suggest in your offers. You can do it in bulk — for multiple offers at the same time.
- Confirm or edit the data.
We prepared the data using AI tools. Before confirming them, make sure they are correct.
What else we have changed
The Product does not require safety information option:
- you cannot select it when editing offers in bulk in the My Assortment tab

Do you sell batteries or products containing batteries? From August 18, 2025, you will need to provide an EPR number
See what obligations the new law imposes on you.
On August 18, 2025, the EU Batteries Regulation will take effect. It will oblige sellers of batteries or products containing batteries, who have manufacturer status, to provide EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) registration numbers to e-commerce platforms such as Allegro.
That obligation stems from the EU requirements. We will adjust some features on our platform to help you run your business on Allegro in compliance with the law.
What it means for you
From August 18, it will be mandatory for you to complete the relevant data in the Sales Center if:
- you place certain types of batteries on the market (even a single unit)
- you have manufacturer status.
According to the law, you have manufacturer status if you place on the market — for the first time — batteries or products containing batteries that are:
- your own
- rebranded as your own brand
- imported
- or that you sell online to an EU country where you do not have a registered office.
This applies to each battery unit you place on the market.
What if you sell abroad
The regulation is in force throughout the European Union — which means it will apply to you if you sell on allegro.pl, allegro.cz, allegro.sk, and allegro.hu, and send your products to EU countries.
If you sell batteries in several marketplaces, you must have a separate EPR number for each country. If you sell exclusively in Poland, you only need an EPR number for Poland. If you also sell, for example, to Czechia, you need to provide an EPR number for Czechia as well. If you do not have a registered office in the country where you want to obtain an EPR number, you can use the services of an authorized representative.
What we will change
- Now: we are adding the Contains batteries parameter to the categories where you can sell products with batteries. You will select an appropriate value of that parameter if you sell batteries or products containing batteries.
- From August 18, 2025: you will have to provide an EPR number on your Allegro account — for each country where you sell batteries or products containing batteries. You can do it in the Sales Center.
- If you are a seller from outside the EU: from August 18, you will provide EPR numbers from authorized representatives in each EU country where you sell batteries or products containing batteries.
How to obtain an EPR number
Each country establishes its own Extended Producer Responsibility registry for batteries. In order to obtain an EPR number, apply for registration in the country where you are selling. If you do not have a registered office in the country where you want to obtain a number, you can use the services of an authorized representative. They will represent your company with regard to the obligations that arise from the regulation.
The registration process can take several weeks, so it is a good idea to apply in advance.

How to meet the requirements of the Batteries Regulation
The Batteries Regulation will take effect on August 18, 2025. Learn how we will adjust some features on our platform to help you sell on Allegro in compliance with the law.
The purpose of the Batteries Regulation is to reduce the environmental impact of batteries. It applies to the entire life cycle of a battery, including sales. The regulation will apply across the European Union — that means it will also affect sellers on allegro.pl, allegro.cz, allegro.sk, and allegro.hu, and sellers who send products to EU countries, such as Germany.
The EU officials are introducing this law gradually. From August 18, 2025, sellers of batteries or products containing batteries, who have manufacturer status, will need to provide EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) registration numbers to e-commerce platforms such as Allegro.
That obligation stems from the EU requirements. We will adjust some features on our platform to help you run your business on Allegro in compliance with the law.
We have added the Contains batteries parameter to the categories where you can sell products with batteries. You will select an appropriate value of that parameter if you sell batteries or products containing batteries. Download the list of categories in which the parameter is available.
Check if you need to provide the EPR registration numbers
This law applies to you if:
- you have manufacturer status and
- you place the following on the market:
- portable batteries — including the following formats: 4.5 V (3R12), button cell, D, C, AA, AAA, AAAA, A23, 9 V (PP3)
- batteries for light means of transport (such as electric scooters)
- starting, lighting, and ignition batteries
- electric vehicle batteries
- industrial batteries
- and products containing the battery types listed above.
Check if you place batteries on the market
According to the regulation, you place batteries on the market when you make them available on the EU market for the first time.
Check if you have manufacturer status
You have manufacturer status if:
- you sell batteries under your own brand name and place them on the market in an EU country for the first time
- you place batteries from another country (inside or outside the EU) on the market in an EU country
- you sell batteries to an EU country other than the one where you have your registered office (inside or outside the EU).
Do you have any doubts? See a few examples of manufacturer status
1. Your company has its registered office in the country of sale (in the EU)
| Your situation | Do you have manufacturer status | What you need to do |
|---|---|---|
| You sell batteries or products containing batteries in the country where you have your registered office, under your company name or with your trademark, and you produce those batteries or products containing batteries in that country, and you market them in that country for the first time. |
Do you have manufacturer status Yes |
What you need to do Register with the relevant authority in that country or contact the office of an authorized representative. Obtain an EPR number. Next, provide it in your account details in the Sales Center on Allegro. |
| You sell batteries or products containing batteries in the country where you have your registered office, you re-sell them under your company name or with your trademark, and the batteries or products containing batteries have been produced by another manufacturer in that country, but do not bear the trademark of that manufacturer, and the manufacturer had not placed them on the market in that country for the first time. |
Do you have manufacturer status Yes |
What you need to do Register with the relevant authority in that country or contact the office of an authorized representative. Obtain an EPR number. Next, provide it in your account details in the Sales Center on Allegro. |
| You supply or re-sell batteries or products containing batteries in the country where you have your registered office, and the batteries or products containing batteries have been produced outside that country (in another country inside or outside the EU), and you import and market them in that country for the first time. |
Do you have manufacturer status Yes |
What you need to do Register with the relevant authority in that country or contact the office of an authorized representative. Obtain an EPR number. Next, provide it in your account details in the Sales Center on Allegro. |
| You re-sell batteries or products containing batteries in the country where you have your registered office, but you have not produced or imported them, and you do not use your own company name or trademark but the name or trademark of a registered manufacturer that already sells in that country or has a registered office in that country. |
Do you have manufacturer status No |
What you need to do We do not require you to provide the EPR numbers. You do not have to do anything. |
2. Your company has its registered office outside the country of sale (inside or outside the EU)
| Your situation | Do you have manufacturer status | What you need to do |
|---|---|---|
| You sell batteries or products containing batteries at a distance, directly to end users in an EU country. | Do you have manufacturer status Yes |
What you need to do Register with the relevant authority in that country or contact the office of an authorized representative. Obtain an EPR number. Next, provide it in your account details in the Sales Center on Allegro. |
Examples
- If you are a Polish entrepreneur and you buy products containing batteries from a Polish supplier to sell them on allegro.pl — you do not have manufacturer status. However, if you place products from a Chinese manufacturer (even a single battery or product containing batteries) on the Polish market for the first time — you are a manufacturer in the eyes of the law and you need to provide an EPR number to Allegro.
- If you are a Polish entrepreneur and place products on the Czech market — you have manufacturer status. In this case, you sell products to a country other than the one where you have your registered office, and you place batteries (even a single battery or product containing batteries) on a European market for the first time.
- If you are a Chinese entrepreneur and sell your products on allegro.hu — you have manufacturer status. In this case, you are a seller based outside the EU and you place batteries (even a single battery or product containing batteries) on a European market for the first time.
How to obtain an EPR number
Each country establishes its own registration system within the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for batteries. Some countries have separate registries for batteries, while others include battery registration as a separate category or track in broader EPR registries containing multiple product types. You will obtain an EPR number when you register in the country where you are selling.
Poland has a database on products, packaging, and waste management — BDO. You can obtain the EPR (BDO) number for Poland there.
If you do not have a registered office in the country where you want to obtain a number, you can use the services of an authorized representative. They will represent your company with regard to the obligations that arise from the regulation.
The registration process can take several weeks, so it is a good idea to apply in advance.
If you sell batteries in several marketplaces — for example, in Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary — you need a separate EPR number for each country. If you sell exclusively in Poland, you only need an EPR number for Poland. If you also sell, for example, to Czechia, you need to provide an EPR number for Czechia as well.

Since January 23, you can complete the details required by the GPSR more easily
Within the Allegro Product Catalog, for selected products, we suggest the manufacturer's details that you can add to your offers. Check the details.
The GPSR, the EU's General Product Safety Regulation, took effect on December 13, 2024. According to the regulation, you have to provide in your offers:
- manufacturer's details
- the details of the person responsible for introducing the product onto the EU market — if the manufacturer's registered office is outside the European Union
- safety information.
If the products in your offers were placed on the market before December 13 — you do not need to complete that information. In those offers, you only need to mark the following parameter — Product introduced to the EU market before 13.12.2024. Learn how to do that.
What we have changed
Since January 23, you can complete the manufacturer's details in offers with selected products in a faster and more convenient way — using data from the Allegro Product Catalog.
How you can use that option
When you list or edit offers, select the Brand parameter value. We will show you suggestions of the manufacturer's details based on that value. Once you select one of them, we will complete the offer with that manufacturer's details.
You can also use this option:
- when you list offers from a file
- through the Allegro API — check how to complete the manufacturer's details and safety information.
