Training: Market Surveillance, SAGA Risk Assessment & Recall Management (English / German)
from 490,00 €
Legal requirements for market surveillance apply to economic operators placing products on the market, manufacturers and their authorized representatives, as well as the authorities themselves.
In addition to non-conformities, hazards arising from products regularly result in recalls.
Particularly with regard to hazards, it is essential to know and understand the relevant criteria. This training therefore focuses on 6 hours of practical exercises, in which a complete risk assessment according to SAGA is conducted using 3 exemplary cases.

Description
Learning Objective
Our training on market surveillance, SAGA risk assessment, and recalls is designed to provide participants with clear and efficient access to this complex topic.
Key regulations and legal acts are outlined, detailing how to implement the relevant requirements in operational practice.
Participants learn how to apply tools for detecting non-conformities and risks, as well as how to reliably assess identified defects and risks.
Using the SAGA risk assessment methodology, you will practice on a practical case study to determine the criteria required to evaluate a product defect reliably and derive appropriate corrective actions.
What to Expect
The training is offered in three industry-specific variants:
a) Automotive products
b) Mechanical and plant engineering products
c) Technical consumer products
As part of an in-house training course, which we offer for groups of 4 or more participants, we align the curriculum with your specific needs and requirements.
Short quizzes, moderated discussions, and practical exercises reinforce the acquired knowledge.

Mark Haacke –
Thank you very much, we are aware that the training can also be very challenging for non-native English speakers due to the many technical terms.
We have discussed this internally and considered how we can lower the language barrier here.
In the future, we will provide handouts in the language preferred by the participant.
Raab –
Good, competent, but overall the training was too short with insufficient focus on analysis and moderation. The examples are too vague/general to develop relevant outcomes. More legislation and, above all, technical specifications and standards should be integrated here.
