QR Code Replaces S-Mark Starting October 2025

Beginning October 1st, 2025, a major regulatory change will take effect: the new QR Code logo will officially replace the current S-Mark logo. All certified products must display this QR Code before they are commercialized.

What Does the New QR Code Represent?

The QR Code must link directly to the product’s Certificate and Declaration of Conformity, providing instant access to regulatory compliance information. This digital approach increases transparency and simplifies verification for authorities and consumers.

When and How to Apply the QR Code

Good news for manufacturers:

No formal “Local Adaptation Process” is required.
The QR Code can be applied locally after customs clearance, as long as it’s in place before the product is placed on the market.
Each client will receive a unique QR Code that can be used across all certified products under the same certificate.

Key Takeaways for Compliance Teams

Ensure all packaging and labeling processes are updated before October 1st, 2025.
Work with your certification partner (like Glodacert) to secure your unique QR Code.
Avoid market delays by integrating the QR Code application into your local logistics process.
