> WarrantyARK helps EU online stores comply with the mandatory EU legal-guarantee notice and the "GARAN" commercial durability label introduced by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1960 and Directive (EU) 2024/825, which apply from 27 September 2026. WarrantyARK provides free and paid WooCommerce and Shopify plugins that display the official EU graphics in all 24 EU languages, and a consumer app where shoppers save and manage every warranty.

## The 2026 EU guarantee rules (key facts)
- From **27 September 2026**, every EU online store selling physical goods to consumers must display a **harmonised legal-guarantee notice** (the statutory 2-year guarantee of conformity), based on Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2025/1960.
- A **commercial durability label ("GARAN"**, Annex II) is mandatory **only** when the producer offers a voluntary durability guarantee that covers the whole product and exceeds the 2-year statutory minimum.
- Legal basis: **Directive (EU) 2024/825** (Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition) and **Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1960**.
- Merchants must use the **official, unaltered EU graphics**, shown in the buyer's language (24 EU languages). For online sales the label must sit on the specific product/model page. There is **no transition period**. Non-compliance can trigger enforcement (e.g. France's DGCCRF) and warnings from competitors and consumer associations.
