Market Surveillance & Compliance Committee

The Market Surveillance & Compliance Committee safeguards post-market integrity by monitoring misuse of marks, sampling certified products, and coordinating corrective actions. It closes the loop between approvals and real-world performance to protect users and fair competition.

Within the Federation, the committee runs structured surveillance plans, evaluates complaints and intelligence, and issues notices ranging from advisory letters to sanctions. It collaborates with accreditation and regulatory bodies to ensure timely, proportionate responses.

Outputs include surveillance procedures, sampling methods, sanctions ladders, recall coordination notes, and trend reports that inform future standards and certification rules.
