Canon European Warranty System Information

In the event that a Canon product develops a fault, our customers are covered by the Canon European Warranty System (EWS) which ensures that the fault is resolved free of charge for a limited period of time after purchase (terms and conditions apply).

The EWS is comprised of two different service offerings and the offering that is applicable to you is determined by your location and the product you have purchased. For most Canon consumer products, a Return To Base service is offered. If a product develops a manufacturing fault during the warranty period then it must be returned to a Canon approved repair facility where it will be repaired free of charge by Canon authorised technicians. Your product will be returned to you when the repair is complete.


For eligible Laser and Inkjet products (in selected countries only), an On-Site service is offered. Please refer to the On-Site terms and conditions below to view the list of eligible products.

If an eligible product develops a manufacturing fault during the warranty period then On-Site Warranty service will be provided in one of the following ways:

  • On-Site Repair (via technician)

  • On-Site Exchange (via courier)

If On-Site terms and conditions are not listed below then our On-Site service is not available in your country. In this instance, only Return To Base warranty service will be provided.

Canon reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this information is not complete or has been removed or changed after the original purchase of the product by the consumer from the retailer.

Canon may repair or replace Canon products with new or reconditioned parts or products of equivalent to new performance and reliability.
