What is PSCR – Product Integrity?

PSCR (Product Safety and Conformity Representative) is about ensuring product safety and compliance with requirements throughout the entire product lifecycle. This relatively new concept is relevant for all companies, not just those delivering safety-classified products.

Product integrity includes both product safety and compliance with product requirements. Many manufacturers have introduced the requirement for a “Product Safety Representative” to ensure that all parts of the supply chain proactively address product safety issues.

A common misconception is that PSCR – Product Integrity only applies to companies handling safety-classified items. In reality, it concerns all products that could pose a risk in the event of deviations or improper use.

Why?

Working with PSCR – Product Integrity is essential for minimizing the risks of deviations and ensuring that products meet necessary requirements.

  • Preventive Action: Product safety representatives ensure that every step of the supply chain proactively addresses product safety.
  • Broad Relevance: PSCR is not limited to safety-classified items but includes all products that may cause harm if misused or if deviations occur.
  • Compliance: Implementing PSCR ensures companies meet industry standards for safety and accountability throughout the product lifecycle.

Who?

PSCR – Product Integrity is relevant for all organizations that manufacture, handle, or distribute products with potential risks. It is particularly important for:

  • Manufacturers needing to meet strict customer requirements.
  • Companies in the automotive and manufacturing industries where safety and quality are critical.
  • Organizations looking to strengthen their management systems with a focus on product safety and accountability.
