Overview

ISO/IEC 22603-2:2022 specifies requirements for the digital representation of product information on electronic devices with integral displays. It applies to devices such as cell phones, tablets, desktop and laptop computers, monitors and printers. The standard focuses on how an electronic product label (e-label) is accessed, delivered and protected when displayed on a device’s built-in screen.

Key topics and requirements

• E-label definition: The e-label is the electronic product labelling content presented on an integral display and may be part of the product itself.
• Access limits: Users must be able to reach the e-label in no more than three steps from the manufacturer’s main or home menu.
• No special credentials or accessories: E-label access must not require special codes, proprietary accessories or permissions beyond the normal device unlock/security measures.
• Public website reference: The e-label may be delivered via a web address in accordance with ISO/IEC 22603-1. The referenced website must be publicly available, fee-free, non‑proprietary and usable across operating system platforms.
• Responsibility for protection: The Responsible Party (typically the manufacturer or vendor) is accountable for protecting the integrity and availability of e-label information.

Practical applications

• Device manufacturers can implement on-device e-labels to meet regulatory and consumer information requirements without adding labels to packaging or hardware.
• Regulatory compliance teams use the standard to ensure product information (certifications, safety notices, regulatory IDs) is discoverable and verifiable on devices.
• Software and firmware engineers can design menu flows and UI elements that meet the “three-step” access requirement.
• Customer support, warranty and recycling programs can link to up-to-date product data via the mandated public web references.
• Retailers and asset managers benefit from consistent, discoverable electronic product information for inventory, resale and end-of-life handling.

Who should use this standard

• Device manufacturers and OEMs
• Product compliance and regulatory teams
• Firmware, embedded UI and mobile app developers
• Quality assurance and product security teams
• Regulators and certification bodies

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
