According to the authorisation by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food of the Republic of Slovenia (Official Gazette of the RS, 44/2004), our laboratory has been designated as an organisation authorised for determining the compliance of spirit drinks quality for the purposes of official control or inspection.
Spirit drinks are all drinks with an alcoholic strength above 15% vol. with exception of some aromatised wines. When issuing spirit drinks compliance reports, we distinguish between procedures we for spirit drinks without geographical indication (namely, the majority of spirit drinks) and spirit drinks with protected geographical indication. In our laboratory, we can only issue compliance reports for spirits that are not protected by a geographical indication/reference.
