Technical files, scope and application timing are critical in product-safety controls. Technical facts, the commercial scenario and current regulations should be assessed together.
Scope review
Tariff code, product definition and intended use are assessed together to determine whether the relevant product-safety communiqué applies.
Technical file
Depending on the product, test reports, declarations of conformity, labels, manuals and certificates may be requested.
Application and inspection
Risk analysis may clear an application directly or route it to document or physical inspection. Additional documents must be submitted on time.
Operational impact
Potential inspection should be built into procurement, transport and storage plans. Checks before arrival can reduce waiting costs.
