ISO 15223-1:2021/Amd 1:2025, published in March 2025

🆕 What’s New in the 2025 Amendment

• Updated Symbol for Authorized Representative

  The familiar “EC REP” symbol has been revised to “EU REP”, making it non-country-specific and more globally applicable.

• Defined Term for Authorized Representative

  A clearer definition was added to align with international regulatory frameworks.

• Use of Country Codes

  The symbol may now include two- or three-letter country codes (e.g., CH for Switzerland), though not all jurisdictions recognize these codes.

• Grouped Symbols

  If the name and address of the responsible entity are the same, symbols can be grouped together to reduce redundancy on labels.

  

  
  

⚠️ What This Means for You

• No urgent action required: The amendment hasn’t been harmonized yet, so manufacturers can adopt it during regular revision cycles.

• Regulatory alignment: It’s a step toward global harmonization, especially for companies operating in multiple jurisdictions.
