This document presents abstract of research paper aimed to analyse where the conformity assessment documents, that are the results of the manufacturers performed product’s conformity assessment evaluation, ensure the safety of the products. This study was conducted based on the data on unsafe non-food products found on the European Union market during 2005-2016 and the testing results of the electrical appliances performed by Latvian market surveillance authority during 2014-2016. The analysis of the conformity assessment procedures required by so called “New Approach Directives” were performed through the prism of found unsafe products. The possible correlation between the applicable conformity assessment procures and found unsafe products were identified.
