Opis

This book examines European legislation that regulates the safety of consumer products. There are different legal requirements for medicines, machines, electronics, toys and so on, which employ different regulatory mechanisms. Hodges compares the various mechanisms and asks why particular mechanisms are used, or not used for different products. The book then moves on to consider what is meant by product "safety," demonstrating the relativity of this concept.

Recenzje

Christopher Hodges has been an inside practitioner in the field of consumer products safety. He has blended those unique insights with academic research to produce a thought provoking book. His vision of a more coherent regulatory structure with informed and balanced debates about what safety standards best suit the European market is a model that has much to commend itself. Hopefully this work will encourage regulators to bear these principles in mind.
