Manufacturers established in the EU already have responsibilities under sector-specific legislation that in general overlap with and go beyond the obligations under Article 4(3). An exception is that – unlike Article 4 – EU legislation on outdoor noise, machinery and ecodesign does not explicitly require them to inform the market surveillance authorities where they have reason to believe that a product covered by such legislation presents a risk. Manufacturers established in the EU and who are the economic operator referred to in Article 4 will however have to do this for the products covered by these legislative acts.
