Name and physical address (e.g. street/city/region/postal code and, if different from the country of origin, the country) or a code mark officially recognized by the national authority4.

Original standard layout since 22 december 2010

Footnote 4:The national legislation of a number of countries requires the explicit declaration of the name and address.
