(a) Nutrition education and food labelling

Several regulations in developed countries apply stringent rules on food quality, packaging and labelling.

8130 Labelling requirements

8. The participants recognized that in the food processing sector, packaging, labelling and food safety standards were of special importance in a number of export markets, especially in the OECD countries.

(c) Fuel economy labelling

Energy efficiency standards and labelling

Labelling requirements differ among markets.

(a) Implementation of environmental and quality labelling.

In addition to international instruments (such as the Codex Alimentarius), industrialized countries applied domestic guidelines (such as those of the United States Food and Drug Administration) to regulate safety, health, environmental considerations, packaging, animal health, and labelling of food imports.

Annex 2 contains summary tables about classification and labelling.

Energy efficiency standards, labelling and other product related measures

Energy efficiency standards, labelling and other product related measures

Additional barriers that exporters of commodities, such as processed food products, have to overcome include levies, minimum import prices, and other regulations pertaining to packaging, labelling, health and quality standards (UNCTAD, 1997b).

and labelling of Chemicals (GHS) (ST SG AC.10 30)

The Beijing Rules prohibit the stereotyping and labelling of juveniles.

(iii) Public information campaigns to complement labelling and voluntary agreements

(e) Additional guidance for labelling and new pictogram for organic peroxides.

(d) Promote sustainable consumption through pricing, incentives and eco labelling schemes

(a) Mandatory energy efficiency standards and labelling for common household appliances

Apart from product standards, packaging and labelling often involved complex requirements.

b. Continue to develop criteria for the classification and labelling of environmental terrestrial hazards

Subcommittee of Experts on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals

Work of the Committee regarding the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals

Instructions concerning the required labelling of hazardous or explosive materials during transport have also been issued.

B Work of the Committee regarding the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals

Clarifications were given on the ISO 14000 standards, particularly on environmental management systems and eco labelling.

An UNCTAD secretariat seminar on quot Eco labelling and international trade quot was conducted in 1994.

(i) Mandatory energy consumption labelling, with defined test procedures and functional performance measures of the products and

(v) Energy efficiency labelling of construction, thermal insulation products, and in particular for windows and window frames.

Where licensing systems have been effectively implemented, criminal groups have resorted to other methods, such as false labelling.

(4) In the settlement area of the Sorbian people the Sorbian language shall be included in public labelling.

(i) Voluntary or mandatory energy efficiency labelling and technical specifications for luminaries used in the service sector and

On the particular point of eco labelling, it was noted that all such schemes so far were voluntary.

These requirements cover quality and health considerations as well as labelling rules, which may differ significantly among markets.

Sometimes countries set national norms above accepted international requirements covering areas such as food safety, animal disease, product composition (e.g. in further processed meat products), packaging, labelling and presentation and shortening of acceptable shelf life (which can place imported products at a disadvantage especially for chilled items).

It was emphasized that some new market based initiatives, both mandatory and voluntary, such as eco labelling, commercial labelling, traceability, certification and organic fisheries, not only provided assurances of product quality to consumers, but also offered transparency and accountability along the global supply chain.

Welcomes the establishment of a working relationship between itself and the United Nations Subcommittee of Experts on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, on hazard characteristics and the elements of the globally harmonized system of classification and labelling of chemicals
