Practices involving consumer products
Article 20
1. Member States shall require any undertaking intending to manufacture or import a consumer product for which the intended use is likely to be a new class or type of practice, to provide the competent authority with all relevant information, including that listed in Annex IV, Section A, so as to allow the implementation of the justification requirement in Article 19(1). 2. On the basis of an assessment of this information, Member States shall ensure that the competent authority, as outlined in Annex IV, Section B, decides whether the intended use of the consumer product is justified. 3. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, Member States shall ensure that the competent authority which has received information according to that paragraph, informs the point of contact for the competent authorities of other Member States of this receipt and, upon request, of its decision and the basis for that decision. 4 Member States shall prohibit the sale or the making available to the public of consumer products if their intended use is not justified or their use would not fulfil the criteria for exemption from notification under Article 26.
