The Secretary of State must entrust market surveillance authorities with the resources and knowledge necessary for the proper performance of their duties.

Textual Amendments

Article 19U.K.Market surveillance measures

1.Market surveillance authorities [F16must] perform appropriate checks on the characteristics of products on an adequate scale, by means of documentary checks and, where appropriate, physical and laboratory checks on the basis of adequate samples. When doing so they [F16must] take account of established principles of risk assessment, complaints and other information.

Market surveillance authorities may require economic operators to make such documentation and information available as appear to them to be necessary for the purpose of carrying out their activities, and, where it is necessary and justified, enter the premises of economic operators and take the necessary samples of products. They may destroy or otherwise render inoperable products presenting a serious risk where they deem it necessary.

Where economic operators present test reports or certificates attesting conformity issued by an accredited conformity assessment body, market surveillance authorities [F16must] take due account of such reports or certificates.

2.Market surveillance authorities [F17must] take appropriate measures to alert users F18... within an adequate timeframe of hazards they have identified relating to any product so as to reduce the risk of injury or other damage.

They [F17must] cooperate with economic operators regarding actions which could prevent or reduce risks caused by products made available by those operators.

1.[F22Market surveillance authorities must] ensure that products which present a serious risk requiring rapid intervention, including a serious risk the effects of which are not immediate, are recalled, withdrawn or that their being made available on [F23the] market is prohibited, and that the [F24Secretary of State] is informed without delay thereof, in accordance with Article 22.

2.The decision whether or not a product represents a serious risk [F25must] be based on an appropriate risk assessment which takes account of the nature of the hazard and the likelihood of its occurrence. The feasibility of obtaining higher levels of safety or the availability of other products presenting a lesser degree of risk [F26does] not constitute grounds for considering that a product presents a serious risk.

Article 21U.K.Restrictive measures

1.[F27Market surveillance authorities must] ensure that any measure taken, pursuant to [F28any relevant enactment], to prohibit or restrict the product's being made available on the market, to withdraw it from the market or to recall it, is proportionate and states the exact grounds on which it is based.

2.Such measures [F29must] be communicated without delay to the relevant economic operator, which [F29must] at the same time be informed of the [F30legal] remedies available F31... and of the time limits to which such remedies are subject.

3.Prior to the adoption of a measure referred to in paragraph 1, the economic operator concerned [F32must] be given the opportunity to be heard within an appropriate period of not less than 10 days, unless such consultation is not possible because of the urgency of the measure to be taken, as justified by health or safety requirements or other grounds relating to the public interests covered by [F33any of the relevant enactments]. If action has been taken without the operator's being heard, the operator [F32must] be given the opportunity to be heard as soon as possible and the action taken [F32must] be reviewed promptly thereafter.

4.Any measure referred to in paragraph 1 [F34must] be promptly withdrawn or amended upon the economic operator's demonstrating that he has taken effective action.

Textual Amendments
