Definīcija:The mechanisms for surveillance of the market intervene at the distribution and marketing stage or once the products are on the market and aim at ensuring that all the requirements of the directives have been effectively respected by all the operators, including manufacturers (q.v.), importers (q.v.) and the bodies involved in the conformity assessment. This clearly means that there can be no question of the notified bodies (q.v.) carrying out the market surveillance. In those Member States where the notified bodies and the market surveillance authorities come under the same superior authority, the lines of responsibility will be organized in such a manner as to ensure the separation and independence one from the other of the two activities, conformity assessment and market surveillance. Market surveillance of goods on the Community market must remain the clear responsibility of the public authorities (national, regional, or local) and should include the customs services which have the primary role of checking the conformity of products coming into the Community from third countries.
