Overview of product safety requirements
Latvia’s product safety framework is built on national laws and EU directives to protect consumers and the environment. Key components include:
Legal basis
The Law on the Safety of Goods and Services sets out general safety obligations, complemented by the Consumer Rights Protection Law and sector‑specific regulations (e.g., toys, electronics).
Core principles
Products must be safe under normal or reasonably foreseeable use, including installation and maintenance. Safety evaluations consider design, materials, instructions, and packaging.
EU integration
Compliance with the EU’s General Product Safety Directive, the European Accessibility Act (effective June 2025), and Green Transition requirements for durability and recyclability is mandatory.
Mandatory markings
CE marking (where applicable) and standardized durability/reparability labels attest to conformity, but marking alone does not guarantee safety.
Key compliance & conformity steps
To ensure comprehensive coverage of your product’s safety journey, we offer the following specialized services:
Step 1: Risk assessment & safety testing
Analyze potential hazards, perform required mechanical, chemical, and electrical tests, and document results.
Step 2: Technical documentation & instructions
Prepare or review user manuals, installation guides, and safety warnings—ensuring clarity, accuracy, and compliance with accessibility rules.
Step 3: Conformity assessment & certification
Coordinate with notified bodies for mandatory conformity procedures (e.g., EC-type examinations) and compile the technical file.
Step 4: Labeling & packaging review
Verify all markings (CE, warning symbols, durability/reparability icons) and packaging presentations meet legal standards.
Step 5: Market surveillance liaison
Represent you in communications with Latvia’s Consumer Rights Protection Centre and other authorities, facilitating product registrations and addressing any safety notices.
Step 6: Consumer claims & recall management
Develop procedures for handling individual and collective consumer claims, manage voluntary or mandated recalls, and minimize brand impact.
