The Law "On Common Safety of the Non-Edible Production" (Reg. No.7094) lays the legal and organizational principles of prohibiting dangerous goods circulation in Ukraine. The bill defines the terms ‘safe goods´ and ‘dangerous goods.´ Thus, the goods can not be regarded as dangerous only because of the capacity to attain a higher safety level or market availability of other goods with a lower level of danger.
If the producers get the information that the goods in circulation are dangerous for consumers or are incompatible with the common safety requirements, they are obliged to notify the agency in charge of market regulation, reporting on the action for maintaining safety of these goods.
The Law is applied to the production regarding which the technical regulations do not implement the specialized safety requirements. Though it is not spread on: services and works; food products; food additives, aromatizers, dietary supplements; animal derived materials; feed, supplementary feed, living plants and animals; alcohol; alcohol beverages, medicines and veterinary medical products, narcotic substances, psychotropic substances; nuclear materials; second-hand items etc.
The document regulates the state market supervision over the observance of general requirements for the safety of non-edible production, and the state supervision over the import of products to the customs territory of Ukraine.
