Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
This new article sets out general rules and technical requirements that a digital label must satisfy when a supplier affixes or prints a data carrier linking to it under Article 31(1b), covering matters such as grouping of label elements, searchability, minimum accessibility duration, free access, accessibility for vulnerable groups, click-limits, technology compatibility, and language choice.
It also prohibits tracking, analysing or using usage information for purposes beyond what is absolutely necessary for providing the digital labelling.
