Regulation EU 2019/1020 on Market Surveillance and Compliance of Products (GEN - 1038.00)

It will apply from 16 July 2021 with a Union Product Compliance Network (UPCN) set up by 1 January 2021

This Regulation applies to all products subject to EU harmonised Regulations, e.g. Ecodesign implementing Regulations and provides for an enforcement of market surveillance activities, including the set-up of the UPCN. Within the Regulation, Article 9 opens the possibility for Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) and organisations representing economic operators (for example Eurovent) to agree to carry out joint activities in view of promoting compliance, identifying non-compliance and raising awareness about EU harmonised legislation.
