Definition
Risk management in compliance is the structured process of identifying, analysing, and evaluating potential product risks.
Why it matters
Under the GPSR, risk assessment before market entry is mandatory for all consumer products. In liability cases, risk documentation is often the decisive factor.
What you need to do
Use FMEA for systematic hazard identification and risk matrices for prioritisation. Document as part of the technical file, retain for at least 10 years.
