Product safety

Product safety is one of the key areas of responsibility for trading standards.

We have a duty to enforce legislation covering a wide range of products, examples include toys, fireworks, electrical equipment, upholstered furniture and petroleum site safety. To secure compliance the service undertakes a number of activities including advising and supporting locally based manufactures, product testing, market surveillance, and investigating complaints about unsafe products supplied to consumers. The trading standards institute maintain an up to date list of safety warnings which are available to browse.
