turujärelevalvest

Turujärelevalvest is the Estonian term for market surveillance. It refers to the process by which competent authorities oversee the compliance of products and services with applicable laws and regulations before they are placed on the market or while they are available. This ensures that products are safe for consumers and meet relevant quality and safety standards.

The primary goal of turujärelevalvest is to protect public health, safety, and the environment, as well as to ensure fair competition among businesses. This is achieved through various activities, including inspections of products and production facilities, testing of samples, review of documentation, and investigation of consumer complaints. Authorities may require corrective actions, such as product withdrawal or recall, or impose penalties if non-compliance is found.

Turujärelevalvest covers a wide range of product categories, including consumer goods, electronics, toys, machinery, and construction products. The specific regulations and procedures are often harmonized with European Union directives and regulations, particularly for products circulating within the EU market. Businesses are responsible for ensuring their products comply with all relevant requirements before they are sold.
