How to fix: Missing certification code

Add a valid certification code provided by the certification body

A custom icon for Merchant Center Classic Article Header.

For one or more of your products, there is no certification code included in your product data. Certification codes help customers verify energy ratings associated with your products.

To add a certification code to your product data, you need to provide a value for the certification code [certification_code] sub-attribute of the certification [certification] attribute. The value you add should match the valid product certification provided by a  registered certification body, like EU EPREL.

Learn more about the certification [certification] attribute.
