Provide the date (month and year, at a minimum) and place (including a manufacturer name, street address, city, state or province, country or administrative region, email address, and telephone number) where the finished product(s) were manufactured, produced, or assembled. For manufacturing runs over a series of days, provide the initial date of manufacture (month and year, at a minimum).
What has to be present
- Date, month and year at a minimum
- Manufacturer name

- City
- State or province
- Country or administrative region
- Email address
- Telephone number
The place is now a full contact block for the manufacturer, not a city and country. For a run spanning several days, the initial date of manufacture is the one to give.
