Where the regulation applies

The adopted regulation sets requirements for alcoholic products and their distribution processes. Entry into force has been postponed to 1 January 2027; the current regime and transitional provisions require separate review.

What the regulation covers

The text provides for control of composition, toxic impurities and safety parameters by beverage category. Identification, raw materials, alcohol content and accurate labelling receive specific attention.

Examples of products and facilities

  • beer
  • wine
  • sparkling wine
  • vodka
  • liqueurs
  • distilled spirit drinks

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK reviews the beverage category, formulation, labelling and existing documents, then prepares a testing list and transition plan against the applicable dates.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.
