Summary

With the amendments of the draft law, modernize the product safety requirements, which primarily concern cyber security and online commerce. The goals of the bill are to ensure compliance with European Union law, and the regulation of accreditation fees will also be updated. The EU General Product Safety Regulation places a clear obligation on manufacturers to assess the risks associated with the use of cyber security and artificial intelligence. The regulation also states that the consumer must have an online store the same information as in a regular store is available, including the manufacturer's information, product label, product image and all warnings and safety information. In addition, the basis for the review of the accreditation applications submitted to the Estonian Accreditation Center (EAK) and the hourly fee of the conformity assessment institutions will be updated in order to ensure fair and transparent remuneration for all accreditation activities. The changes resolve the situation where some accreditation application reviews are paid and parts not. In the future, when submitting any kind of application, the review fee must be paid based on the volume of work, and the hourly fee for accreditation includes, in addition to the activities of the chief assessor, the work of the assessment decision and technical review maker, which is also related to the assessment. Currently, the costs arising from the aforementioned activities are covered by the annual fees paid by all customers. However, both activities are related to a specific client and should be included in the fees associated with each client.
