Labelling

Committee:
Retail & Wholesale
status:
Some progress
Published:
The revised Household Goods Quality Labelling Act introduced some improvements, however requirements remain too detailed and long. This often means that labels are too complex for consumers.

Recommendations

  • The Labelling Act should be reformed to aid the consumer in understanding the product and to introduce flexibility for the retailer.
  • Introduce the possibility of referring to websites for more information by using for instance QR-codes instead of having the information on a label affixed to the product.
