Paragraph 2 Withdrawal Notice

An enforcer may serve a withdrawal notice on an economic operator in respect of a product to which these Regulations apply if the enforcer has reasonable grounds for believing that there is non-compliance.

A withdrawal notice must prohibit the economic operator from making the product available on the market without the consent of the enforcer.

A withdrawal notice may require the economic operator to take action to alert end users to any risk presented by the product.

A withdrawal notice may require the economic operator to keep the enforcer informed of the whereabouts of any product referred to in the notice.

A consent given by the enforcer pursuant to a withdrawal notice, may impose such conditions on the making available on the market as the enforcer considers appropriate.

Subject to sub-paragraph (7), an enforcer may revoke or vary a withdrawal notice by serving a notification on the economic operator.

An enforcer may not vary a withdrawal notice so as to make it more restrictive for the economic operator or more onerous for the economic operator to comply.

A withdrawal notice has effect in Northern Ireland.
