Bio-checker Skal
European organic and general labelling legislation impose requirements on visible characteristics that are, for example, on a label of an organic product or on the proof of transport of a load of organic products. How do you know whether you are using the correct mandatory features and whether the feature is also visually well presented?
The Skal Biocontrole bio-checker will guide you through these mandatory features. You immediately check and see which features are compulsory, with the corresponding substantiation.
