Product safety testing
Service outline:
At present, product safety is arguably one of the most important areas of responsibilities for the Trading Standards service.
With the introduction of the Consumer Protection Act 1987, and the General Product Safety Regulations 1994, there has been an increase in the provision for safety of consumer goods. The Trading Standards service has an important role in supporting and advising businesses, as well as cracking down on unsafe products and unscrupulous traders.
