Rule-based: every answer names the article it rests on, or says when our rules do not cover the product. It explains what the law says for a product type matching the facts you give, not your specific situation, and it is not legal advice.
How the check works
- Pick one of the product categories TracePass covers.
- Answer the questions the law turns on for that product, such as a battery's use or capacity. A question you leave open keeps the answer at "depends" and says on what.
- Read the headline: yes, no, not yet or depends, with the EU act, its article and the start date where one is set.
What a free account adds
- The duties of each role (manufacturer, importer, distributor and others), each with the quoted article.
- Other EU acts that also apply to the product.
- A draft passport for the product, ready to fill in.
What the answer is, and is not
The answer is what the law says for a product type matching the facts you give. It does not assess your specific situation, and it is not legal advice. Check the cited articles before relying on it.
