Furthermore, the sensitivity and connectedness of product users and authorities, and public discussions on the issue of product integrity have increased significantly.….
In this context, the question arises as to which organization structures and processes must be established in a company and how a company should react if a product is classified as potentially non-conform or as potentially safety-critical due to deviations in one or multiple countries……
