§7.4 Checks by Market Surveillance authorities

— Market surveillance occurs at the marketing stage of the products. — Market surveillance prioritises resources and actions through a risk-based approach. — Market surveillance activities may be organised differently depending on the nature of the product and the legal requirements, and they may range from control of formal requirements to in-depth laboratory examinations. — Non-compliant products are subject to corrective actions, sales prohibitions, withdrawals or recalls. — All economic operators have a role and obligations in market surveillance. Market surveillance authorities shall check the compliance of the product with the legal requirements applicable at the moment of the placing on the market or, if relevant, putting into service. Checks carried out within the framework of market surveillance may be carried out at different stages of the distribution of a product following its placing on the market, or putting into use. It can, therefore, be exerted in various locations.
