The safety of products and their compliance with legal as well as voluntarily assumed obligations are the primary goals of all companies in the automotive industry. However, achieving these goals is becoming increasingly challenging – diversified markets, product variations, and complex supply chains make the requirements unclear.

The risk involved is enormous: if product safety and compliance are not ensured, it can threaten the existence of the entire company. Each market player should therefore address these challenges not only in terms of individual products but systematically at the organizational level – with a Product Compliance System.

Such a system includes elements for the identification, monitoring, control, and minimization of product compliance-related risks at the company level. This allows potential dangers to be identified and prevented early on.

In this training, you will learn about the seven building blocks that make up a Product Compliance System. Practical examples will help you gain understanding on how to apply these at your company.

• You will learn the basics of a Product Compliance System from a governance perspective
• You will know the scope of a Product Compliance System, its elements, and the relevant key questions.
• You will be able to develop or operate a company-specific Product Compliance concept based on this knowledge.
• You will be capable of becoming a multiplicator for this topic within your company.

A combination of alternating practice-oriented theoretical input, examples and exercises, as well as ad-hoc trainer feedback, results in a nuanced use case understanding of a Product Compliance System

The training is aimed at executives and employees from medium-sized and small companies in the automotive industry who are building, implementing, or maintaining a Product Compliance System or intend to do so in the future. It is also relevant for employees within the company dealing with product/technology-related compliance topics along the product lifecycle, as well as PSCRs in relevant functions.

Upon passing a knowledge test (multiple-choice test), you will receive a certificate of qualification.
