The Objective:

The Joint Action aims to raise the level of market surveillance in the product areas concerned, thereby contributing to a more uniform application of the rules set out in the applicable EU harmonised legislation and improving the safety of the products sold on the Internal Market.

The project was created in close collaboration with three Administrative Cooperation (AdCo) groups to best target products ands activities based on the current needs and requirements of their member authorities. These groups are:

• The AdCo Gas Appliances Regulation (EU) 2016/426
• The AdCo Low Voltage – Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU
• The AdCo Transportable Pressure Equipment (TPED) – Directive 2010/35/EU.  

The project is co-funded by the European Commission/DG GROW under the action “EU support to joint market surveillance actions for non-food products” and coordinated by PROSAFE.
