DOWNLOAD THE PDF: Unitec and ProductIP increase cooperation
There is a new guide for carrying out corrective actions for product safety. It is a revision of the guide published in 2004.
If you are a producer or distributor of consumer products on sale in the European Union (EU), this Guide aims to provide general advice about what you should do if you have evidence that one of your products is unsafe.
This is a voluntary guide intended only as guidance for producers and distributors, to carrying out Corrective Actions for product safety. This Guide is supported by the market surveillance authorities in the Member States and the consumer and trade organisations within the EU. It is recommended that producers and distributors cooperate (and sometimes they are required to do so according to the GPSD) with the authorities in the Member States, when carrying out Corrective Actions, if appropriate, following any codes of practice where they exist. There may be differences between Member States concerning the conditions, procedures and requirements for such actions.
The Guide is aimed particularly at management with responsibility regarding product safety compliance, quality control, legal affairs and public and corporate relations within businesses and organisations. Organisations should have their own documented Corrective Action procedure applicable to their own circumstances.
