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

It is to be noted that the safeguard procedure is different from RAPEX notification procedure because of their different notification criteria and different methods of application. The safeguard clause procedures under the Union harmonisation legislation apply independently from RAPEX. Accordingly, RAPEX does not necessarily have to come into play before the safeguard clause procedure is applied. However, the safeguard clause procedure has to be applied, in addition to RAPEX, when a Member State takes a decision to prohibit or restrict the free movement of products covered by Union harmonisation legislation on the basis of a danger or other serious risk presented by the product.
