On January 12, 2010 the government adopted the draft of amendments to the Act on Construction Products and the Act on System of Assessment of Products Compliance. The draft stipulates that there will be more frequent inspections of construction products, which will be conducted at the producers’, importers’ and sellers’ offices. The importer will have the same obligations towards the inspector as the producer. If the producer or the importer has its seat outside Poland then all the obligations should be borne by the seller.
The draft amendments stipulate that the construction supervision authorities will also be authorized to establish whether the construction product possesses the functional properties declared by the producer.
