Wines in circulation on the market of the Republic of Croatia bear a traceability label. The traceability label represents additional confirmation to the consumer that there exists a Decision on placing the wine on the market (Decision). The number on the traceability label links the wine to the unique number of the Decision. The Decision on placing the wine on the market is based on the inspection of grape processing, insight into the wine cellar records, physical-chemical analysis and organoleptic assessment. The Decision on placing the wine as a package on the market is accompanied by a traceability label on the product in circulation.
The Institute deals with testing the factors of grape and wine quality, the possibilities and methods of improving their quality, with research work and upgrade of vineyard and wine industry sector: The competent control authority that performs systematic control of Protected Designation of Origin - PDO; Procedure implementation of preparing decision proposals to be issued for geographical indication of wines with emphasis on tracebility; Keeping the list of manufacturers with a decision for a minimum of technical and technological conditions of facilities for manufacturing and selling wine;
Passing decisions on placing grape, must, wine and other grape and wine products and fruit wines onto the market with empasis on the product tracebility: i. Submission of requests ii. Taking of Wine sample iii. Administrative verification iv. Physical and Chemical Testing v. Sensory Testing vi. Passing decisions with associated Samps

CONCLUSIONS
Keeping records and consolidation of the producers who place on the market theirs products data base of Grape harvets, wine and fruit wine production and stocks;
