TÜV SÜD becomes a Corporate Affiliate Member of Trading Standards Institute

Due to increasing levels of work TÜV SÜD Product Service has been undertaking in the last two years on behalf of the Trading Standards Institute (TSI), it was decided to formally associate ourselves with the TSI.  TÜV SÜD Product Service is now pleased to announce that as of 8th March 2012 it has been officially accepted as a Corporate Affiliate Member of the TSI.

Through this action we enhance our relationship with TSI,  further support them in their market surveillance activities and are able to better advice TÜV SÜD clients on the requirements for placing products into the UK marketplace.

In the recent years TÜV SÜD Product Service has undertaken a large number of projects on behalf of TSI covering a wide range of products from radio control toys to chain saws, working closely with TSI branches all over UK.

TÜV SÜD Product Service will be also exhibiting at TSI Conference on 27th June 2012 and hosting a mini theatre on “Consumer Products- Managing Risk” and will be presented by TÜV SÜD’s Retail Laboratory Manager, Mark Penton, at 9:30-10:00am in Theatre Number 3.  The presentation will look at the issues facing retailers importing consumer product manufactured outside the EU, the risks associated with these products and the steps that can be taken to ensure that the risks are minimized and compliance can be demonstrated.
