Briefly Explained: The PSCR – Responsible for Product Integrity

Who or What Is the PSCR?

The PSCR (Product Safety & Conformity Representative) is the corporate role responsible for maintaining product integrity.

Product integrity combines product safety and product conformity. Consequently, the PSCR represents the evolution of the PSB (Product Safety Representative) within the company.

Product safety requires a product to demonstrate an adequately high level of safety regarding its intended use—meaning its operation must not pose a danger to users or consumers.

Product conformity means that the product complies with all applicable regulations. These include statutory requirements as well as conformity to technical norms, standards, and customer specifications.

Numerous automotive manufacturers mandate the appointment of a PSCR across the supplier base throughout the entire supply chain.

As the significance of regulatory compliance has increased, so has the necessity of ensuring proper implementation across the supply chain. This led to the development of the PSCR role. The corresponding requirements are defined in the VDA volume "Product Integrity".
