Safety of products sold to consumers, both through traditional trade channels as well as on-line, is fundamental for consumers. The Commission works closely with a broad range of stakeholders, including main trading partners, towards product safety online and “offline”, no matter where the products are manufactured.
During the IPSW 2016 the European Commission calls again for participation from product safety professionals from around the world to debate and foster international cooperation on policy development and on enforcement in the area of (non-food) consumer product safety. The IPSW 2016 will be once more an opportunity to participate in a series of conferences and meetings and to network with international regulators, industry, consumer organisations, standard-makers, test laboratories, academics and other product safety experts
