Market supervision

Market supervision is an obligation incumbent on the national authorities to monitor products made available in Norway. Market supervision is conducted by proactive or reactive means that entail checking that products meet applicable safety requirements. 

Proactive market supervision is a planned approach by which we investigate whether products placed on the market comply with the product regulations. Reactive market supervision is conducted primarily on the basis of incidents or suspicions that the product fails to meet the legal requirements.
