VDE Online Seminars

The webinar gives listeners an insight into the work of market surveillance through the eyes of the experienced Gerhard Quanz, who was the former head of the Medical Devices and Product Safety Law Department of the Kassel Regional Council. During the lecture, participants are invited to look behind the scenes of the market surveillance authority and learn about the diverse tasks and activities that are carried out to ensure product safety and consumer protection. Mr. Quanz will address various triggers for market surveillance measures, such as consumer complaints, reports of dangerous products and international warnings received within the authority. In addition, concrete steps and measures taken by the market surveillance authority to identify, review and, if necessary, remove potentially dangerous products from the market will be presented. As always, lawyer Dr. Ulrich Becker will introduce the lecture and place it in the overall picture of “Product Compliance from 360°”.

A number of different requirements are placed on the placing of electronic and electrical items on the market. The legal minimum requirements are diverse and spread across various horizontal and vertical legal acts.

Not only the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, the Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility or the Directive 2014/53/EU for radio equipment must be observed. The chemical requirements of the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, the REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 and the POP Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 must also be observed. Last but not least, economic operators must also keep the Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in mind before placing the item on the market.

A new addition is Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries and waste batteries, which introduces many new requirements and challenges for companies over a timeline.

Our seminar provides an overview of the diverse (new) requirements and new challenges in the context of electrical items and provides practical advice.

Your speakers are Sebastian Jockusch, Managing Director of fox compliance GmbH and Dr. Ulrich Becker, lawyer at CMS Germany.

The new Product Safety Regulation will apply from December 13, 2024. It significantly tightens a long-standing but often negligently neglected obligation of economic operators (manufacturers, importers, distributors, etc.). It concerns corrective measures to be taken if a product placed on the market is not compliant. Under the title "Dealing with product risks - what to do if a product is threatened with recall?", Dr. Ulrich Becker, lawyer at CMS Germany, will explain as part of our event series "Product Compliance from 360°" why the topic is of great importance for many, including smaller companies, who often consider themselves "not responsible" and refer to the manufacturer, or for companies that only sell "B2B". Mr. Becker will give a brief overview of, among other things, where the obligation to issue warnings, recalls and withdrawals comes from, under what conditions what has to be done, what the Rapex issue is all about, how to identify affected products, what a recall notice should look like, why it is helpful to coordinate communication with authorities, experts, insurance companies, legal advice and customers and why the new product safety regulation suddenly requires repairs, replacement deliveries or compensation to be offered even years after the sale. Above all, Mr. Becker will use many practical examples to explain how companies can prepare for the "worst case scenario". When it starts, there is hardly any time for that, and if you do not react (correctly), you risk compensation, fines, personal liability of those involved and damage to your reputation.
