The non-compliant products listed in the EU Safety Gate only represent the tip of the iceberg of all potentially dangerous products, as market surveillance has insufficient enforcement power due to limited resources and the rapidly increasing online trade. The growing digitalisation is also creating new risk potentials, particularly with regard to IT security and data protection. Moreover, products must be designed to be more sustainable and circular in future. In the last years, the EU legislator has established comprehensive legal requirements that manufacturers must meet. The actual compliance of products on the market is thereby decisive for a level playing field.
What to do
- Build trust in safe and sustainable products
