RAPEX is established as the EU rapid alert system that facilitates the rapid exchange of information between Member States and the Commission on measures taken to prevent or restrict the marketing or use of products posing a serious risk to the health and safety of consumers with the exception of food, pharmaceutical and medical devices, which are covered by other mechanisms. Every Friday, the Commission publishes a weekly overview of the products posing a serious risk as reported by the national authorities (the RAPEX notifications). This weekly overview gives information on the product, the identified risk and the measures that were taken in the notifying country.

DEKRA would like to remind our Chinese manufacturers and exporters to take good control of quality management, so as to avoid risks on international trade, since recalls will be fatal blow for small enterprises. The effect of a recall is not only costs and profits, but also brand reputation. In many cases, it shows that a recall results a death of an enterprise.
