Government Decision No. 334-N establishing the List of products subject to suspension, recall, destruction of hazardous production lots.

This Government Decision delineates national regulatory framework concerning the circulation of hazardous non-food products, emphasizing safety requirements, control measures, and legal obligations for market participants. It operates within the broader context of technical regulation, legal standards, and international agreements, aiming to ensure product safety and environmental protection. The primary focus is on establishing procedures for the suspension, recall, destruction, and removal of products that do not meet safety standards. Key measures include defining grounds for suspension and recall based on laboratory tests, external inspections, documentation, and incidents affecting health, safety, or the environment. The document specifies that responsible authorities, namely the competent inspection body, issue directives for actions like suspension, recall, destruction, or removal, with clear timelines and procedural requirements. It mandates that economic operators immediately suspend imports or sales upon suspicion of non-compliance, organize product recalls, and notify authorities and consumers within specified periods. In cases where violations cannot be rectified, operators are obliged to destroy or remove the products, with prior approval from the inspection body. The document also details the process for product removal, the issuance of compliance certificates post-correction, and the authority's oversight of these activities. Implementation involves inspections, issuance of directives, and monitoring by the competent authorities, with specific timelines for actions such as recall (three days), destruction or removal (30 days), and notification procedures. The process emphasizes procedural clarity, stakeholder responsibilities, and enforcement mechanisms, including the requirement for written directives, documentation of compliance, and coordination with relevant government bodies. Secondary themes include the importance of transparency, documentation, and adherence to procedural timelines to ensure effective regulation and enforcement of safety standards for hazardous products.
