Description / Abstract:
Introduction
The development of this Publicly Available Specification (PAS) has been informed by the work of the Working Group on Product Recalls and Safety (WGPRS) and associated behavioural insight research into the effectiveness of product recalls.
The general product safety regulations and product specific safety regulations require that new and used consumer products placed on the market in the United Kingdom must be safe, with the responsibility for ensuring that safety being borne by businesses across the supply chain.
The responsibilities imposed by the legislation include duties to:
• place only safe products on the market, supported by information on their correct use;
• warn consumers about potential product-related risks;
• monitor the safety of products;
• inform the relevant Market Surveillance Authority (MSA) if a safety issue is identified;
• take effective corrective action where necessary.
Although the vast majority of products are safe and do not become the subject of corrective action, the availability of a planned course of action is critical to ensuring a timely and effective response should a safety issue or potential safety issue arise.
Businesses may experience potential recall situations rarely and this PAS is intended to make it easier for them to prepare for and deal with, such situations.
Part 1 is intended for businesses offering non-food consumer products for sale and covers monitoring, assessing, notifying and correcting unsafe products, including through a recall or other corrective action if required, with emphasis on the preparation of a product safety incident plan (PSIP) by businesses, in advance of actual need. The PAS also provides guidance for businesses on activities required should a need for corrective action arise.
Part 2 is intended for Market Surveillance Authorities and covers the assistance that should be available to businesses from such regulators (MSAs) to support them in meeting their responsibilities in respect of consumer product safety issues.
The PAS provides practical guidance for businesses and does not replace or override any of the legal duties to which businesses or regulators are subject.
