Product compliance in the UK and EU ensures that products follow the rules and standards established by local authorities to ensure the safety of consumers and the environment. Product Compliance is crucial to promote fair competition, protect consumers and meet legal obligations. As Compliance standards differ between regions, sellers must ensure their products meet the specific regulations for the market they are looking to enter.
On the other hand, a Responsible Person (RP) will be the seller’s representative and key liaison with local authorities. The main objective of a Responsible person is to ensure that products being sold in the EU or UK meet all the necessary requirements set by authorities by carrying out the following steps:
• Provide an UK/EU address.
• Compliance checks.
• Advice and guidance.
• Product registration.
• Certified and accredited with multiples bodies.
• Document storage.
• Product recalls.
