The pure law for product safety<\/h2>\n

A new version of the ProdSG has been in force since 16 July 2021. The ProdSG is now a pure law on the requirements for making products available on the market.<\/p>\n

Parcel delivery services, freight transport services are excluded (see \u00a7 2 No. 11 ProdSG). The fulfillment service provider is involved with manufacturers, distributors to provide products on the market – and may not knowingly pass on dangerous products, he may have to inform the competent market surveillance authority.<\/p>\n

The ProdSG requires and regulates<\/h2>\n

The ProdSG sets requirements for products on the market, but does not apply, for example, to certain used products or food, feed and animals. The law regulates, for example:<\/p>\n
