Implementation of recommendation M.3

When carrying out their regular activities to check compliance, market surveillance agencies may detect counterfeit goods. This recommendation suggests going a step further and to actively test not only for compliance against regulations, but also to identify potential counterfeit goods. Information essential for the identification of products with a serious risk, which represent basic information for market surveillance, are at the same time important indicators of whether the product is original or has indications of suspicion that it is a counterfeit good.
