Abstract
This paper considers the legal criteria that will be applied to determ ine whether a product is to be considered defective, together with the consequences which may follow such a finding. The legal significance of product certification is examined with a view to determining the im pact which this may have upon the producer's legal liabilities. Examin ation is also made of the legal position of a certification agency and of the parties to whom a duty of care may be owed.
