(Prague, 15 November 2022) The Czech Trade Inspection Authority evaluated inspections focused on compliance with Act No. 542/2020 Coll., on end-of-life products. It carried out a total of 471 inspections and found breaches of this law in 162 cases. "The inspection activity has shown that although the law has been in force since 1 January 2021, it is still not properly complied with. Many of commercial entities are not yet fully familiar with this legislation, which has imposed new obligations on manufacturers, distributors and resellers. Inspections have shown that many operators, especially small retailers, are still working with information in accordance with the expired legislation. As market monitoring has confirmed the trend of increasing the number of end-users using the take-back option for selected products, we will continue these inspections in the next period," said Jan Štěpánek, Director of the CTIA, commenting on the results of the inspection activities.
