You must pay a fee for each registration of each product and an annual fee for maintaining the registration. 

You must ensure that all products meet the requirements of quality, composition and safety. 

You must mark all products with correct health warnings, list of content, directions for use, etc. 

Each year you must report information about the past years sales volume, preferences of consumer groups, distribution channels and any market survey to the Danish Safety Technology Authority. It is your responsibility that the reporting is correct and that any changes are corrected.
