PPWR
DOC generator
A declaration of conformity (DOC) is the written 'promise' that your packaging meets legal requirements. The DOC generator removes the typing for you: it reads your product master data, suggests phrasing and produces a print-ready PDF — ready for authorities, audits and suppliers.
When do you need a DOC?
- For every new packaging you place on the market.
- When material, supplier or recyclate share changes significantly.
- On request from authorities or auditors.
- When a business customer (e.g. a wholesaler) requires it as a prerequisite for listing.
One DOC per packaging family is often enough
What does the generator do differently than a Word template?
- Data integration: Instead of typing values manually, the generator pulls everything from your master data — supplier, material, recyclate share, substances.
- AI phrasing: Reguly suggests structured phrasing based on the current PPWR regulation text.
- Error check: Missing a required field? Reguly prevents you from sending an incomplete DOC.
- Versioning: Every DOC is filed in the vault with date, author and version number — audit-safe and traceable.
Step by step
- 1
Open the DOC generator
In the dashboard under 'PPWR → DOC generator'. You see a list of every product with its current DOC status (valid / expiring / missing).
- 2
Pick a product
Choose the product you want a DOC for. Reguly shows up front which data is present and which is missing.
- 3
Fill missing data
When required fields are empty (e.g. recyclate share, supplier, migration test), Reguly takes you straight to the matching field in master data. After saving you return automatically.
- 4
Review the AI suggestion
Reguly generates an explanatory text and shows it as a preview. You can accept or reject sentences individually. Adjust phrasing directly in the editor when needed.
- 5
Preview
Click 'Preview' to see the finished DOC as a PDF — exactly as an auditor would receive it.
- 6
Generate and store in the vault
With 'Generate' Reguly creates the final PDF, signs it with your brand data and files it in the compliance vault. You find, download or recreate it any time there.

Versioning & audit trail
Every DOC carries a version number (e.g. v1.0, v1.1). When you regenerate an existing DOC (e.g. because the recyclate share changed), Reguly automatically creates a new version. The old version remains visible in the vault — important for audits that want to trace history.
