Document background
The Private Label Agreement is a crucial document used when a retailer or brand owner wishes to have products manufactured under their own brand name by a third-party manufacturer in Belgium. This agreement type is particularly important in the Belgian market, where private label products have a significant market share and must comply with both Belgian and EU regulations. The document covers manufacturing specifications, quality requirements, intellectual property rights, regulatory compliance, pricing, and risk allocation. It's essential for establishing clear responsibilities and obligations between parties, ensuring compliance with Belgian commercial law, consumer protection regulations, and EU directives on product safety and labeling. The agreement typically includes detailed technical specifications and quality standards as appendices, making it a comprehensive framework for private label manufacturing relationships.
