Slovenia - Labeling/Marking RequirementsSlovenia - Labeling Requirements
The EU has a number of mandatory and voluntary requirements pertaining to the marking, labeling, and packaging of different types of products. A mark is a symbol or pictogram appearing on a particular product or its packaging to provide information concerning safety, health, energy efficiency, or environmental concerns related to a product, while labels refer to written text or numerical statements with more specific information on a product such as measurements or materials found in the product. Some mandatory marking requirements are left to individual member states, while some voluntary marks and labels are used as marketing tools in some member states. Check an verview of EU mandatory and voluntary labeling.
