Details
The Product Safety Database (PSD) is the notification system used by local authority trading standards (environmental health in Northern Ireland), certain national regulators and Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) enforcement teams to notify unsafe and non-compliant products to the Secretary of State, as required in product safety legislation. Unsafe products are those which pose a risk to the health and safety of consumers, whereas non-compliant products are those that do not conform to the relevant product safety legislation.
The information provides insight into the market surveillance activity of regulatory officers across the UK and highlights where the greatest levels of activity are taking place in terms of product sectors, as well as providing an oversight of the most reported hazards and corrective actions taken.
