Product Safety Compliance: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to ensure your physical goods meet essential safety standards and what the consequences are for selling non-compliant items.
This scheme provides guidance for businesses to ensure the physical goods they sell meet required safety standards.
Who it's for
This is for anyone who sells physical goods.
What you get
You receive guidance on how to meet safety standards and how to correctly use the CE mark. The CE mark is a certification mark that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area.
What it costs you
While accessing the guidance is part of the regulatory framework, you will need to pay for your own compliance testing to prove your products are safe.
The catch to know
If you sell products that do not meet the required safety standards, you may face immediate product recalls and financial fines.
How to apply
- Review the safety standards for the specific types of goods you sell.
- Arrange for necessary compliance testing for your products.
- Ensure all required safety markings are correctly applied to your goods.
- Consult official regulatory resources if you are unsure about your specific requirements.
