Safe Product Advisory Offices

Dear Member,

With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by the Fırat Customs and Foreign Trade Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Trade, the action "Establishment of Safe Product Advisory Offices in order to support the relevant sectors in operating in compliance with product safety legislation" has been added to the Presidential 2023/1-VIII.180 Day Action Programme covering the period 1 January 2023 – 30 June 2023.

In line with the target set in the Programme, a "Safe Product Advisory Office" has been established to operate in the provinces of Malatya, Elazığ, Kahramanmaraş, Sivas, Tunceli and Bingöl within the area of responsibility of our Regional Directorate. The Safe Product Advisory Offices aim to provide support on compliance with technical legislation to companies operating in the relevant sectors for product groups under the responsibility of our Ministry. Thus, the aim is to ensure that products placed on the market are safe, to protect consumers more effectively, to increase awareness in the field of product safety, to support domestic production particularly for manufacturers and exporters, and to increase exports of value-added products.

In this context; it is requested that the titles, addresses and contact details of manufacturing, exporting and importing companies registered with your chamber and operating in product groups under the responsibility of our Ministry, in particular textiles, footwear, toys, stationery, detergents, pacifiers, baby bottles and childcare products, be sent to us for use in guidance activities, and, should they contact our Safe Advisory Office whose contact details are given below, support can be provided regarding the technical legislation (laws, regulations, communiqués, etc.) issued for the products.
