In the context of an online – CoP_Basic training, the question arose in which context the PSCR is related to the safeguard clauses of the Framework Regulation (EU) 2018/858. Since the question was easy to answer, we recorded it directly as a video.
As PSCR, you are the central node in the company when it comes to product safety (including product liability) and product conformity.
This means that you bear a high level of responsibility, because when it comes to liability, the authorities can’t take a joke.
The importance of informal exchange in training – our expert panel What ensures learning success in training and workshops? A competent and experienced trainer is undoubtedly an important factor to consolidate knowledge during a training. But what else can help participants better internalize what they have learned? In this blog post, we would like to…
Due to many restructurings in a short period of time, the CoP division lost its entire team. Since CoP (Conformity of Production) is a legal requirement and gaps in the evidence can have fatal consequences – even many years, even decades later, the person responsible for CoP contacted us with a request for support.
What happened? It was about components on trucks. Through structured market surveillance, a customer had discovered that there were defects in a competitor’s product that led to accidents. Our customer then transferred this error pattern to his own product and checked whether it would also be conceivable for him. Via a well-founded risk assessment, he…
The market surveillance authority was already involved and a recall was ordered because a supposed product defect was revealed in an accident.
Under the correct state of the law, no recall should have been ordered at all.
If we had not discovered this error, the company would have had to carry out an expensive and time-consuming recall, which was not “legal” at all. We were able to avert the recall!
We were approached by the lawyer of a company that markets technical products because there was apparently a defect in a product. The market surveillance authority was already involved and a recall was ordered.
There was a rightly identified risk.
However, the authority has not recognized something: The error occurred because the user manipulated something – and not because the manufacturer put it on the market that way.
The “Conformity of Production” procedures – in short, “CoP” – are subject to strict requirements on the part of the legislator/authorities.
Increasingly complex products and new technologies not only increase the demands on test procedures and measurement technology.
CoP is thus increasingly becoming a cost driver for you. How can you counter this?
As PSCR, you are the central node in the company when it comes to product safety (including product liability) and product conformity.
This means that you bear a high level of responsibility, because when it comes to liability, the authorities can’t take a joke.
