turujärelvalve

Turujärelevalve is an Estonian term that translates to market surveillance or market supervision. It refers to the system in place to ensure that products placed on the market comply with relevant safety and legal requirements. This oversight is conducted by competent authorities to protect consumers and other stakeholders from unsafe or non-compliant goods.

The primary goal of turujärelevalve is to verify that products meet established standards, directives, and regulations before and after they are made available to the public. This includes assessing aspects such as product safety, environmental protection, health standards, and fair competition. When products are found to be non-compliant, authorities have the power to take various measures, ranging from issuing warnings and requiring corrective actions to removing products from the market entirely or imposing penalties on the responsible parties.

Turujärelevalve operates across a wide range of product categories, including consumer goods, industrial equipment, electronics, toys, and construction products. The specific bodies responsible for market surveillance depend on the product sector, but generally, it falls under the purview of various government ministries and agencies. This systematic process is crucial for maintaining a fair and safe marketplace.
