Fees for Nordic Ecolabel

Ecolabelling Sweden is a non-profit company. We charge however fees  to cover our work with application control,  reviewing licences, development of criteria and marketing the Nordic Ecolabel.

Application Fee
When a company applies for an ecolabelling licence we charge an application fee. This fee covers the administration of the application and the control visit to the applicant, which must be carried out before the licence can be allocated. In addition, the applicant has to cover travel expenses for the control visit if the manufacturing plant is outside the Nordic countries.

In Sweden, the application fee is 20 000 SEK (excl VAT).
For control visits outside the Nordic countries, we charge 500 EUR. For control visits outside the EU, we charge 1500 EUR.

Annual Fee
Once the licence has been granted, there is an annual charge based on the company's turnover for the products carrying the Nordic Ecolabel to which the licence applies. There are different fee structures for products and for services. The annual fee has a maximum and minimum limit.

Maximum and minimum fees
In Sweden the minimum annual fee is 12 000 SEK (excl VAT) and the maximum fee is 350 000 SEK (excl VAT). The fee is charged per licence, product ­group and production site.
