Label-law check · 47 countries

Check a label against the law of the country you sell in.

Paste the words on your pack, pick the country and the product. Drict lists what that country’s label law asks for — what it found, what it did not, and what to check by eye — with the law each point comes from.

Your points to check appear here.

Drict looks for the items each label law names, by key words. It is not legal advice and does not say a label is compliant: read the official text, and ask the authority or a specialist before you print.

How Drict reads a label

  1. Pick where it is sold

    Each of the 47 countries has its own list: what every label must carry, what applies only to some products, which language it must be in.

  2. Paste the words

    Drict reads the text the way an inspector skims a pack: it looks for each mandatory item by the words the law and the trade use, in the country’s own language.

  3. Get the points to check

    Found, not found, only if it applies — each with its law. Plus what no key word can tell: the name, symbols and marks that are pictures, letter sizes.

What it covers

Pre-packed food and drinks, cosmetics and other consumer goods in all 47 countries — in the United States with what states add to federal law (California Prop 65, bottle-deposit marks). Medical devices in the United States (21 CFR 801), the European Union (MDR 2017/745 — with France, Spain and Cyprus in their own language), the United Kingdom (UK MDR 2002) and South Korea (Medical Devices Act). Vietnam also has its own lists for supplements, alcohol, detergents, household chemicals, toys and textiles. Medicines are not checked.

Label requirements by country

Every country’s list on its own page: what the label must carry, what applies only in some cases, the language, the official text.

Questions

Does a clean report mean my label is compliant?

No. Drict only finds the items a law names by their usual words; it cannot judge whether a claim is allowed, a figure is right or a symbol is the official one. Treat it as a first pass before the regulatory review, never instead of it.

Where do the rules come from?

From the official texts of each country, summarised on Drint’s label-law pages and dated there. Each point names its law; where Drint has the official address, the report links to it.

Do I need a new account?

No. Drict uses your Drint account — the same sign-in works for both. Drict Pro is its own plan: a Drint plan does not include it.

Is my label text kept?

Pasted text is checked in your browser and never sent to Drint. Pictures and PDFs (Drict Pro) are sent once to be read and are not stored.

Does Drict check medical-device labels?

Yes, for the United States (21 CFR 801: name and place of business, directions, UDI, Rx only), the European Union, France, Spain and Cyprus (MDR Annex I 23.2: manufacturer, LOT / SN, UDI, use-by date, “MD”, EC REP), the United Kingdom (UK MDR 2002) and South Korea (의료기기법 Art. 20: permit number, 제조번호, “의료기기”). ISO 15223-1 symbols are pictures: Drict reads words only, so a symbol used alone shows as not found.

Does Drict check US state rules too?

US labels follow federal law (FDA, FPLA), and for most items federal law leaves the states no say. Two state rules do reach the pack and Drict checks them on every US label, as points that apply only in some cases: the California Proposition 65 warning (“⚠ WARNING” with www.P65Warnings.ca.gov) and the deposit value on drink containers in the ten bottle-bill states (“CA CRV”, “MI 10¢”).

How does Drict show what it found?

Each item found comes with the label line it was found on, so you can see why. Items not found are either mandatory (to check) or needed only in some cases.
