Helping you ensure the products you sell are safe to consumers and comply to regulations

At the heart of retail is the need to provide customers with safe, compliant products that meet their requirements. Failing to do so can be catastrophic, physically, financially and reputationally.

Focusing on non-food, the Product Safety Community works closely with members to increase their understanding of issues that relate to the safety of non-food products. We also use our substantial membership base to influence policy and lobby for positive change within retail.
