Government Decision No/ 334-N validating the List of products subject to suspension, recall, destruction being classified as hazardous substances.

This Government Decision primarily addresses regulations concerning the circulation, recall, destruction, and utilization of hazardous non-food products in the national territory. Its objective is to establish safety requirements for products that do not meet national legal and international standards, emphasizing the legal principles of product safety, market control, and compliance enforcement. The policy context involves ensuring that products placed on the market adhere to safety norms, with specific reference to technical regulations and legal acts governing product safety. Key measures outlined include the definition of grounds and procedures for suspending, recalling, destroying, or removing hazardous products from circulation, as well as the list of products subject to these measures. The document specifies that the suspension or recall is triggered by violations identified through laboratory testing, external inspections, documentation, or threats to health, safety, or the environment. It mandates immediate action by economic operators upon discovering non-compliance, including halting imports or sales, organizing product recalls, and notifying relevant authorities and consumers. The procedures for product withdrawal, destruction, and the issuance of conformity certificates post-correction are also detailed, along with the responsibilities of authorized bodies in overseeing these processes. Implementation mechanisms involve inspections, issuance of directives, and monitoring by designated authorities, with timelines such as a three-day period for product recall notification and a 45-day window for rectifying violations. The document emphasizes procedural compliance, including written directives, documentation of actions, and coordination with authorities for product destruction or recall. It also highlights the role of electronic signatures for official documentation and specifies responsibilities for stakeholders, including manufacturers, importers, and regulatory bodies, to ensure adherence to safety measures within stipulated timeframes.
