PSCR : Product Safety and Conformity Representative in the Automotive Industry according to VDA – #950
1,980.00 € HT
Training in partnership with the VDA-QMC
Product Integrity Manual in English is included. (ID 503)
Context
Every company in the automotive supply chain is required to ensure the safety and legal compliance of its products. This involves complying with the regulations of the countries concerned, meeting public expectations regarding safety, and fulfilling other binding obligations. However, the diversity of markets and product variants, together with the complexity of supply chains, makes these requirements difficult to manage.
These challenges must therefore be addressed not only at the level of individual products, but also systematically at the organizational level, through a Product Compliance System (PCS). Such a system includes elements for identifying, monitoring, controlling, and minimizing risks related to product compliance at company level. Building on the product compliance system, this training addresses the practical implementation of PCS requirements and the management of identified risks. It is therefore intended not only for future product compliance officers (PSCR), but also for staff working within the product compliance system.
During this training, you will learn how the seven elements of the product compliance system enable you, as a current or future PSCR, to manage your daily work more professionally and more effectively.
Objectives
- Understand the scope of a product compliance system and its components, from both a governance and an operational perspective.
- Understand the importance and responsibilities of the PSCR as well as those of other roles within the product compliance system.
- Gain an understanding of the regulatory requirements relating to the legal compliance of products through concrete examples.
- Grasp your responsibilities throughout the supply chain, from development to manufacturing and use, up to the product’s intended end of life.
- Master the methods for defining safety objectives and conducting risk assessments, and know how to respond in the event of a product’s non-compliance.
- Become aware of your role as a role model in promoting a positive product compliance culture and be able to act as its advocate within your organization.
Recommanded for
- Current and future product safety and compliance officers.
