Standards and labels

Standards have not been specified

• Made in Finland

  "Made in Finland" is a label used to indicate that a product has been manufactured or produced in Finland. The label is not regulated by EU laws and doesn't have specific requirements, but it's an indication of quality and origin of the product. The Finnish government does not have any specific laws or regulations for the use of "Made in Finland" label, but the Finnish Standards Association SFS has a voluntary standard SFS-EN 16471 for products that are manufactured or substantially transformed in Finland. This standard provides guidelines for the use of the "Made in Finland" label and it's up to the companies themselves to decide if they want to use it, and if they do, it is their responsibility to ensure that the products are truly made in Finland.

• Nordic Swan Ecolabel

  Nordic Swan Ecolabel is a label used to indicate that a product is environmentally friendly and meets certain sustainability standards. The label is used in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland) and it is granted by the Nordic Ecolabelling, an independent organization. The standards set by the Nordic Ecolabelling are based on the EU criteria for eco-labeling and they cover a wide range of products, from cleaning products to electrical appliances. To be awarded the Nordic Swan label, products must meet strict environmental criteria and they must be produced with the aim to reduce the environmental impact.

• Vegan

  Vegan refers to a lifestyle and diet that excludes all forms of animal exploitation, including the use of animal products, such as meat, dairy, eggs and honey. Vegan products are free from any animal-derived ingredients. In Europe, there are no specific requirements for labeling a product as vegan, but some countries have their own regulations for food labeling. The EU has an overview of the food labeling regulations that are in place, but these regulations do not specifically mention "vegan" as a label. However, a product can't be labeled as vegan if it contains any animal-derived ingredients. The Vegan Society and the European Vegetarian Union provide vegan certification for products that meet their criteria.
