Company notification via EU Business Gateway
According to the General Product Safety Regulation, a company must notify the authorities about its products posing a risk and the related measures taken to prevent the risk.
The authorities must be notified via the Product Safety Business Alert Gateway. The system makes submitting notification easier and harmonises the information provided by companies to the authorities.
A notification of a dangerous consumer product is primarily made by the manufacturer located in the EU or, if the manufacturer is located outside the EU, a representative of the manufacturer or the importer.
The notifier must also carry out a risk assessment on the product. The Risk Assessment Guidelines (RAG) of the European Commission can be used for this purpose, for example. If necessary, the notifying company is asked for more information and clarifications in addition to the information entered in the system.
The system contains more detailed notification instructions prepared by the Commission. More information is also available from national authorities listed on the Commission's website.
