Packaging Regulations

Packaging of food stuffs, wine, textiles and chemicals - among others - must meet the packaging and labeling standards.

The CE label confirms that EU health, safety and environmental standards have been met for the following product areas:

  • Machines
  • Building materials
  • Telecommunication systems

The producer or EU importer can apply for the CE label. Products carrying a CE label can be freely sold and traded in all EEC countries and no further national product testing is necessary.
