Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs

A ‘product contact point’ has been set up in every EU country, as required by Regulation 2019/515 on the mutual recognition of goods. The contact points provide free of charge information within 15 days in response to queries related to Regulation 2009/515 on the mutual recognition of goods.

The role of the product contact points (PCPs) is to provide information on

  • Regulation 2019/515 on the mutual recognition of goods
  • the implementation of EU harmonisation legislation on products

Information on the mutual recognition of goods

The product contact points (PCPs) have to provide the following information online, related to the territory in which they operate

  • information on the principle of mutual recognition and the application of Regulation 2019/515
  • direct contact details for the competent authorities
  • the remedies and procedures available in the event of a dispute between the competent authority and a business, including the problem solving procedure provided by the SOLVIT service

PCPs are also obliged to provide at the request of a business or a competent authority of another EU member country

  • any useful information, such as electronic copies of, or online access to, the national technical rules and national administrative procedures applicable to specific goods, or goods of a specific type, in the territory in which the PCP is established
  • information on whether those goods, or goods of that type, are subject to prior authorisation under national law in the territory in which the PCP is established

Information on the implementation of EU product legislation

In accordance with Article 8(2) of Regulation 2019/1020 on market surveillance and compliance of products, the product contact points provide economic operators, at their request and free of charge, with information concerning the national transposition and implementation of Union harmonisation legislation applicable to products. Union harmonisation legislation covers a wide range of non-food products and includes, in particular, the legal acts listed in Annex I to Regulation 2019/1020.

The PCPs are encouraged to provide their services in several languages and to provide personalised advice to users.

Contact information

The contact information of Product Contact Points is provided based on the request of the data subject and is made public to facilitate citizens and companies wishing to contact them.
