DPL/NDPL Certification – Meaning, Process, Requirements & Complete Guide
DPL/NDPL Certification is one of the important compliance requirements for manufacturers and importers in India, especially those dealing with consumer goods, electronics, packaging, and industrial equipment. This certification ensures that the product label carries the correct details and meets regulatory standards.
In this blog, we explain everything about DPL and NDPL Certifications—meaning, process, documents, benefits, challenges, cost, timeline, and how EVTL India helps you get approval without delays.
What Is DPL/NDPL Certification?
Meaning of DPL Certification (Deemed-to-be-Producer Label)
DPL Certification is issued to manufacturers whose products require mandatory labeling as per specific regulatory guidelines. It confirms that the product label follows all rules, including product identity, manufacturer details, batch, safety marks, etc.
Meaning of NDPL Certification (Non-Deemed Producer Label)
NDPL Certification is for manufacturers whose products do not fall under strict producer label control but still require structured labeling for traceability and safety.

Both certifications ensure product transparency and consumer safety.
Why is DPL/NDPL Certification Important?
- Ensures Label Accuracy and Compliance: Incorrect labels can lead to legal issues, rejection at ports, or product recalls. Certification ensures full compliance.
