Nordic inspections | Enforcement actions on giveaway products

A joint enforcement project of give-away articles supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers shows that 25 % of the total controlled give-away products in the Nordic market are non-compliant.

The Chemical Agencies in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Norway have carried out a joint enforcement project on giveaway articles (2017-2019) supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers. 

Giveaway articles are products (pens, electric and electronic products, toys, bags, and other products and gadgets) ordered by companies and organisations in order to profile themselves, e.g. by putting the companies/organisations' logo/trade brand on these give-away products, which are distributed for free to clients. 

The results of the joint enforcement project are summarised below. A final report of the campaign will be published in May 2019.
