The BVL offers a free-of-charge internet data base. There are two search forms: The "Standard search" contains all criteria in one form. The "Stepwise search" will prompt the criteria in a defined sequence. The latter is especially recommended in case of slow internet access. The online data base is available in German language only:

Standard search

Stepwise search

English instructions on how to use the database can be found in the file Online database: Explanations and dictionary

Codes and text of all labelling requirements, directions for use and permitted information phrases are compiled in a separate file.
