Description
If you introduce products to the market, you are obliged to ensure that the products do not pose a risk to users and others. You are probably familiar with this obligation under the term “product monitoring”.
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.
The term market surveillance also includes the obligation of the authorities to inspect the products during the use phase and to react to misconduct and “negligence” on the part of manufacturers with appropriate measures.
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
Our training on market surveillance and recalls is designed to give you, the participant, easy and quick access to the complex topic.
Important regulations and legal acts are highlighted and explained how you can implement them in practice.
As a participant, you will learn to use tools to identify deviations and risks and how to safely evaluate identified errors and risks. Using the risk assessment according to RAPEX, you will practice on a practical case which criteria are taken into account in order to be able to reliably assess a product defect and derive appropriate measures.

- you have the knowledge of the most important legal requirements according to the (EU) 2018/858, the ProdSG, ProdHG and further standards.
- you know what rights and obligations the market surveillance authorities have.
- know the RAPEX portal and its function.
- you can perform a risk assessment according to RAPEX.

What awaits you
This training has a focus on automotive products, but also shows the parallels to other consumer products. These are subject to comparable requirements to a large extent. In addition to those responsible for market surveillance and recalls, the training is also important for employees who perform tasks as PSB/PSCR (Product Safety & Compliance Responsible).
As part of an in-house training, which we can offer from 4 participants, we set the focus of the content according to your needs and requirements.
