For consultation, but also to obtain more information or delve deeper into a certain topic, Sicom Testing has selected some useful links including the weekly report site on recalled products.
On the Community rapid alert system for dangerous products (RAPEX) there are reports that list the products withdrawn from the European market: the sheet for each individual product indicates the product, the standard that has not been applied, the type of risk that the product can create and the actual reasons for the recall. Around 50 products per week are withdrawn from the European market, including electrical, electronic and telecommunications products.
