Declaration of Conformity

This page is Asgaardian's standard, standing compliance documentation for all customers, distributors and retail partners. The declarations below satisfy the content requirements of Annex VIII of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) and are issued once as static documents — re-issued only when something material changes (materials, packaging construction, or the regulation itself), never per shipment or per new SKU. This page presents the current issued version of each declaration. The signed copy is available as a PDF in section 6. We do not maintain per-customer template versions.

1. Product and Packaging (retail box · Master Carton · packed pallet)

This declaration of conformity is issued under the sole responsibility of the manufacturer. It applies to the product family (article numbers 1000-1999) and its packaging at all levels: retail box, Master Carton transport packaging, and the standard packed-pallet shipping configuration. New products within that article-number range using the same materials and packaging construction are covered from launch without re-issue. The declaration is re-issued only when the materials, the packaging construction, or the underlying regulation change, never per shipment, per physical pallet, or per SKU addition.

The product and its packaging, including the Master Carton transport packaging, comply with:

• General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (OJ L 135, 23.5.2023): safe for intended use; no risk of injury under normal conditions of use.
• REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006): no Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) above 0.1% (w/w), per upstream supplier declarations.
• Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 ("PPWR") (OJ L, 2025/40, 22.1.2025): packaging designed to minimise volume and weight, facilitate recycling, and meet the substance requirements of Article 5. The basis of that assessment is set out in section 5.
• Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008): packaging supports appropriate end-of-life handling and recycling.
• Sustainability — the retail box is FSC-certified paperboard; unnecessary plastic use minimised.
• Traceability — batch/lot numbers recorded internally and shown on packaging.

Limitations: this declaration does not represent CE marking; CE marking does not apply to trading card sleeves or their packaging.

Harmonised standards and technical specifications. No harmonised standards have been published in the Official Journal under Article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 and no common specifications have been adopted under Article 37 for the requirements covered by this declaration. Conformity is declared against the requirements of the Regulation itself and against the supplier declarations and internal assessments held in the technical documentation.

Notified body. Not applicable. Conformity has been assessed by internal production control, Module A of Annex VII, which does not involve a notified body.

2. REACH / SVHC statement

Sleeve film is polypropylene (PP), acid- and PVC-free. Our upstream material suppliers declare conformity with REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006; per these declarations, no Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) above 0.1% (w/w) are intentionally added. Supplier declarations are held on file at Asgaardian and are available to competent authorities — and to commercial partners under confidentiality — on request.

3. Product safety & traceability (GPSR)

Manufacturer: Asgaardian ApS, Ordrup Jagtvej 42A (st th), 2920 Charlottenlund, Denmark. Monitored contact: support@asgaardian.com. Every production batch carries a batch code on the packaging; quote it in any safety or quality report. Where the manufacturer's name, postal address and electronic contact address are not printed on the packaging itself, they are provided in the documents accompanying the product, of which this declaration forms part.

4. Materials & certifications

• Sleeves: polypropylene (PP), acid- and PVC-free. Made in Europe (Czech Republic).
• Retail box: FSC-certified paperboard, recycling code 21 PAP.
• Transport cartons (inner and Master Carton): corrugated cardboard, recyclable.
• Minor PP packaging components (<1 g per unit) are declared here and counted in EPR weight reporting; no separate marking obligation applies to them under current EU law.

5. PPWR Article 5 — basis of assessment

Conformity with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 is assessed by internal production control (Annex VII, Module A). The supporting technical documentation is held at Asgaardian and retained for five years.

Substances of concern (Article 5(1) and 5(4)). Sleeve film is polypropylene, acid- and PVC-free; the retail box is FSC-certified paperboard. No Substances of Very High Concern are intentionally added above 0.1% (w/w).

PFAS (Article 5(5)). The Article 5(5) restriction on per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances applies to food-contact packaging within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The packaging covered by this declaration is neither intended nor marketed for contact with food, and Article 5(5) is therefore not applicable. This position is reviewed if any covered product or packaging is repositioned for food-contact use.

Minimisation and design for recycling. Each packaging level is mono-material and separable: polypropylene sleeve film, paperboard retail box and paperboard Master Carton (21 PAP), so each sorts into an existing recycling stream. Dimensions are driven by product fit and stacking strength rather than by void — the retail box is sized to the 104-sleeve stack, the transport cartons are sized to the units they carry, and the board grade is set to the minimum that gives the required column-stack strength.
