What is EPREL?

Before energy-labelled goods can be placed on the EU market, manufacturers, importers and authorised representatives must enrol those models in EPREL: the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling. Once registered, detailed product information is linked to the label through a QR code, so shoppers can open the official data sheet directly from their phone.

EPREL was created under EU energy labelling rules to ensure transparency on energy performance across Member States, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. From 2022 onwards, electronic supplier verification with a qualified certificate became part of that registration process.

Who must register in EPREL?

  • Manufacturers established in the EU / EEA
  • Importers placing products on the European market
  • Authorised representatives acting for non-EU manufacturers
  • Suppliers of energy-related products and tyres subject to labelling rules

What is an EPREL qualified electronic seal?

A qualified certificate for electronic seal, issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider under eIDAS, proves the identity of a legal entity and protects the authenticity and integrity of sealed documents. For EPREL, the seal must include the supplier’s organisation identifier (EUID / NTR) in the required format.

  • eIDAS qualified seal

  • Organisation identity

Regulatory context

Why electronic verification with a qualified seal matters

Since 21 February 2022, EPREL has required suppliers to prove their identity with a qualified electronic seal. During the transition window, companies can still create product entries, yet those models stay hidden from public search and label lookups until the organisation itself is verified.

More recent EU rules reinforce mandatory supplier verification with qualified electronic seals (legal persons) or qualified electronic signatures (natural persons). Without a verified supplier profile, product models may be blocked from public visibility or further registration actions in EPREL.

Why you need the EUID / NTR

EPREL electronic verification relies on organisation metadata in the qualified seal. The EUID (European Unique Identifier) / NTR (National Trade Register) identifier proves your company is registered in the official business register and must match the identifier embedded in the certificate.

Important: the NTR is not simply your tax ID or a value taken from the deed of incorporation. It must be retrieved from the official European business registers interconnection (BRIS) search.

How to find your EUID

  • Open the European e-Justice BRIS portal.
  • Search by company name (the registration-number filter is often unreliable) and select your country.
  • Locate your organisation in the results and copy the EUID / NTR shown for that entry.
  • Share that exact identifier with DIGITEL TS when requesting your EPREL qualified seal certificate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It must be requested by the legal representative of the company or a person duly delegated by the legal representative.

For EPREL electronic verification, the qualified seal certificate typically needs to identify the organisation with metadata such as:

  • Organisation name
  • Country of registration
  • Business register number and register identification
  • Organisation identifier (EUID / NTR) in the required ETSI format

For legal-entity suppliers, EPREL requires a qualified electronic seal of the organisation, not a personal signature of an employee. Natural-person suppliers follow a different path based on a qualified electronic signature.

The electronic seal is used for organisation verification (and re-verification if company register details change). It is not required for every individual product registration once the supplier is verified.

Unverified suppliers may still face restrictions: new products can remain invisible on the public EPREL site for search and QR-based consultation until verification is completed, and later rules may further limit registration actions for unverified suppliers.
