INTRODUCTION
Product design involves mastering risks - not only the risks inherent in your project, but also those associated with the use of your product by future consumers. These are the risks we're talking about when we talk about product liability.

find out what documents you need to be able to produce when called upon or investigated by the relevant authorities.
