What it is
SOI (Slovenská obchodná inšpekcia, the Slovak Trade Inspection) is Slovakia’s authority for market surveillance and consumer protection, supervising products on the Slovak market.
Why it matters for compliance
For products sold in Slovakia, SOI is the authority that can inspect products, request technical documentation, test, and act against non-compliant or unsafe goods. It is the Slovak enforcement contact a consumer-product brand is most likely to meet; standardisation sits with ÚNMS SR.
How to use it
- Keep your technical file and DoC ready for a documentation request.
- Use SOI guidance for Slovak product-safety expectations.
- Pair it with ÚNMS SR for the standards behind conformity.
Good to know
National authorities across the EU cooperate and share findings, so a problem identified in Slovakia can prompt action in other Member States too.
