Every company in the automotive supply chain is obliged to ensure the safety and compliance of its products. This includes adhering to the legal regulations of the respective countries and meeting the safety expectations of the general public, as well as other binding obligations. However, diversified markets, product variants and complex supply chains make these requirements difficult to navigate.

These challenges should therefore be addressed not only in relation to individual products, but systematically at organizational level – with a Product Compliance System (PCS). Such a system contains elements for identifying, monitoring, controlling and minimizing product compliance-related risks at a corporate level.

Building on the Product Compliance System, this training covers the operational implementation of PCS requirements and how to manage identified risks.

In the training, you will learn about the seven elements that make up a Product Compliance System and how it enables you, as existing PSCR, to manage your daily work more professionally and effectively.

• You are familiar with the new and updated requirements regarding Product Compliance.
• You will understand the scope of a Product Compliance System and its components from both a governance and an operational perspective.
• You understand the role and responsibilities of the PSCR and other roles within the Product Compliance System.
• You are familiar with methods for determining safety objectives and conducting risk assessments, and you know what to do in the event of product non-conformities.

The training alternates between lectures and group work. The focus is on using simple practical examples to explore how the components of a Product Compliance System are applied in practice.

This training is intended for Product Safety & Conformity Representatives from companies in the automotive supply chain, but also for employees who work within the Product Compliance System.
