Sector-specific legislation in general imposes on the importer obligations that overlap with and go beyond the obligations laid down in Article 4(3) (38). Again, an exception is that – unlike Article 4 – EU legislation on outdoor noise, machinery and ecodesign does not explicitly require importers to inform the market surveillance authorities where they have reason to believe that a product covered by such legislation presents a risk. Importers of products falling under that legislation 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.
