List of regulations and rules, which are supervised and inspected by the CTIA:

Rule No. 64/1986 Coll., the Czech Trade Inspection Authority law, as amended

This regulation establishes the Czech Trade Inspection Authority as an organization, specifies its competencies and authorities, which are applied during inspections. This law also specifies the authority of the director of the CTIA to issue and apply corrective measures against violations (for example the use of untested measuring instruments, hygiene regulations violations or violations such as obstruction of inspection activities).

Rule No. 634/1992 Coll., the Consumer rights protection law, as amended

This law establishes some conditions that must be observed while performing business activities in order to protect the consumers. Violations of these regulations are considered as administrative delinquency, punishable according to the applicable law. This law specifies various responsibilities that need to be observed during product sale. As an example, we may mention regulation requiring the sale to be honest, disapproving unfair business practices, prohibiting consumer discrimination, specifying responsibilities to provide applicable information about the product properties and methods of use, requiring proper marking of the store, specifying the need to display information describing claim procedures, as well as formally correct process of claim proceedings and filing (not the correctness of the decision to proceed with the claim. In this case, the applicable arbitration court or jury shall decide disputes, if any).

It is also necessary to point out, that the consumer protection law does not provide a complete list of consumer rights and corresponding responsibilities of the seller/business entity.

Many other regulations relevant to the consumer rights protection law may be found in other regulations, such as in the Civil Code (issues relevant to private relations and laws) or general civil law issues (various amended laws focusing on a special area of business activities, such as energy and power distribution, electronic communications, etc.) Neither the consumer rights protection law specifies all forms of business activities, for example, it does not include regulations relevant to so-called individual avocations or jobs, such as legal advisory services or tax advisory services.

The Czech Trade Inspection Authority is one of the bodies supervising the fulfilment of this law, within the extent described by Rule No 23.

The CTI supervises the general fulfilment and execution of this law, except in cases when other special body is authorized to do so. This concerns various responsibilities, in connection with agricultural, food and tobacco products, products which must comply with public health protection regulations (for example products that come into contact with food, products manufactured for children of up to 3 years of age, beauty products, food and catering services, public swimming pools, distribution of drinking water, etc.). Further, this also concerns veterinary care, fire arms, ammunition and fireworks and persons, who are supervised by the Czech National Bank and also the pharmaceutical sector.

Rule No. 102/2001 Coll., describing general product safety requirements, as amended

This law specifies responsibilities and mechanisms, which shall make sure that dangerous products are not available on the market.

If the scope of the applicable authority may not be determined, then the supervisory activities shall be performed by the Czech Trade Inspection Authority.

Rule No. 22/1997 Coll., describing product technical requirements, as amended

This law contains various directives issued by the government and determines and establishes certain groups of products, which must be evaluated before introduced to the market, in order to make sure that they are safe and not harmful to personal health, properties, and environment or to any other public interest. This process of evaluation, also called the conformity evaluation process, is completed when the applicable product receives the relevant label or marking, typically the CE sign. The fulfilment of this law, specifying product technical requirements, is usually supervised by the Czech Trade Inspection Authority, but it may be also done by other body authorized to do so by special law (see the Czech Mining Bureau, explosives, railway administration bodies, products used to operate railways and also parts and subsystems of the European railway systems).
