Most product safety directives currently require the full name and address of the manufacturer to be on the product, though in some cases the meaning of manufacturer does not always mean where the product is made.
This is already a requirement in the USA for most products so not really a big deal. I wonder if the text “Made in xxx” will have to be in 24 different languages or if just English is good enough? We have been trying to minimize the amount of English Text on our products to avoid having to translate labeling.

There should not be no direct relationship with product safety but may improve the traceability of products. Does anyone know when the new law become available?
