Abstract
This Law focuses on the enhancement of consumer protection by ensuring that information regarding the mandatory confirmation of product compliance is accessible to consumers. It aims to establish a regulatory framework for the issuance and registration of certificates of compliance and declarations of compliance, as well as to facilitate transparency in consumer transactions. Key legal principles include the obligation of sellers to inform consumers about product compliance and the establishment of a unified registry for such certifications. This Law outlines specific measures to ensure that sellers provide consumers with information about the mandatory confirmation of product compliance. This includes the requirement for sellers to include links in product descriptions to online resources that contain records of compliance certificates or declarations. Additionally, the Law specifies that if a product does not require mandatory compliance confirmation, sellers must still inform consumers in a clear and accessible manner. These measures are designed to enhance consumer awareness and facilitate informed purchasing decisions. Secondary themes include the technical responsibilities of aggregators to ensure the availability of compliance information and the procedural requirements for sellers to communicate compliance status effectively. The document emphasizes the importance of consumer access to information and the role of regulatory bodies in overseeing compliance.
