European Union to introduce GARAN logo for voluntary product warranties
The European Union is set to introduce a new consumer label known as the GARAN logo to provide better transparency regarding voluntary manufacturer durability guarantees. Starting September 27, 2026, this label will appear on specific products, such as smartphones and washing machines, that include a manufacturer's voluntary warranty.
The GARAN logo is designed to help consumers compare products more easily. It will display the manufacturer's name, the specific model, and the duration of the warranty in years. Additionally, the label will feature a checkmark, a calendar icon, and a QR code that provides access to further detailed information.
It is important to note that the GARAN label represents a voluntary commitment from the manufacturer and is distinct from the standard statutory warranty rights provided by law. If a product fails during the voluntary period under normal use, the manufacturer must repair or replace it free of charge according to the specified terms.
