Market surveillance and product monitoring means that the person who introduces products into the market is obliged to ensure that the products do not pose a risk to users and others. This means that to ensure this, you need to monitor their own products, but also products of market competitors in the use phase. This results in the initiation of measures for the elimination of errors or risks, if necessary.

In this context, the legislator also stipulates that corresponding authorities be installed in the markets. These monitor the products in the field and initiate measures or issue product warnings (e.g. via RAPEX portal). In this way, the legislator ensures that products 1. Compliant and 2. are safe.

Learning Goal
