COMMISSION NOTICE The ‘Blue Guide’ on the implementation of EU product rules 2022 · European Union

Market surveillance authorities have to perform appropriate checks on an adequate scale of products made available online and offline (Article 11(1)(a) and 11(3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020). For market surveillance to be efficient, a risk-based approach has to be followed (Article 11(3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020). Resources should be concentrated where risks are likely to be higher or non-compliance more frequent. The risk-based approach should take into account aspects of products (level of potential hazards, non-compliance and associated risks; occurrence on the market), economic operators (activities and operations, past record of non-compliance) and information about both received from other actors (such as border control authorities, consumer complaints, media) as well as other sources that might indicate non-compliance such as incidents and accidents.
