What does Market Surveillance mean?
Market surveillance checks whether products on the EU market are safe and compliant.
Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 modernises market surveillance and product compliance for harmonised non-food products. Authorities can check documents, perform physical and laboratory checks, require corrective action, inspect online offers and keep non-compliant products off the market.
Why does it matter for DPP and compliance?
The DPP is intended to support market surveillance when a product-group delegated act requires it: authorities receive structured, current and access-controlled product data, while customs systems can automatically check DPP existence and authenticity. It does not replace physical checks, but shortens evidence and escalation paths.
What should teams prepare?
Teams should plan authority access, evidence status, validity dates, contact points, blocking or corrective actions and audit trails as fixed DPP elements. Import, distributor and online-sales scenarios need the same approved data so market-surveillance requests do not have to be reconstructed manually.
