The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) have published updated Primary Authority statutory guidance.
This guidance is the framework for the operation of Primary Authority which sets out essential detail to assist those participating in the scheme. It is split into seven main sections, one general and relevant to all, and the others specific to direct partnerships, co-ordinated partnerships, primary authorities, enforcing authorities, co-ordinators, and supporting regulators. It will also be useful for businesses participating in the scheme.
The guidance has been updated to take account of legislative changes post EU Exit, and the enhanced role of national regulators. It also reflects the development and maturation of the scheme.
