This PAS consists of two parts, Part I sets out a code of practice for businesses, providing practical guidance to help them:<\/p>\n
prepare to manage a possible safety related product recall or other corrective action;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
establish mechanisms to monitor the safety of consumer products;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
investigate any potential product safety issue;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
establish mechanisms to deal with any product safety issue identified;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
review corrective action programmes to ensure that product safety responsibilities continue to be met.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The PAS is focussed on non-food consumer products and is intended for use by producers, importers and distributors irrespective of type or size. It is accepted that smaller organizations could need to adjust the scale of activity associated with any product recall or other corrective action undertaken, but the principles that underpin this code are equally applicable whatever the size of organization and are to be adhered to in all such undertakings. The content of this PAS could also be relevant for business to business supply.<\/p>\n
The PAS assumes that businesses placing products on the market, including following repair or refurbishment, will have already addressed their responsibility to supply only safe products and guidance on this is not provided.<\/p>\n
The PAS is not intended to conflict with existing sector specific schemes (e.g. automotive, medicines, medical devices) which are to be referred to in respect of the product categories covered.<\/p>\n
