Introduction to product safety requirements The maze of directives can appear daunting, but in the end, product safety requirements are not that complicated. Product designers and developers as well as R&D engineers should be aware of the directives. We have the experts that can train them to take in account these essential requirements early on. Product safety is indeed crucial as market surveillance authorities work actively on the market. They have several agents inspecting the products at shelfs, stocks etc. When a suspicious product is found, they are authorized to take samples for safety testing. If a product is found not fulfilling the essential safety requirements, market surveillance can restrict the sales and marketing of such product. In worst case scenario, the importer or manufacturer is forced to recall the products. This obviously may harm the reputation of the brand and end up being costly. To have full stock of equipment that can´t be sold will likely be a nightmare.
