For importers and manufacturers: Basic workshop “Product safety and liability, CE marking”
The recalls of the past few years, which have become known far beyond the industry, have demonstrated impressively how crucial it is to have legally secure release from liability when placing bicycles and e-bikes on the market. The increasingly complex legal situation makes it difficult to keep an overview, which often leads to avoidable problems in practice. The workshop will give you an overview of the important directives, standards and laws and you will learn how to be on the safe side.
Our workshops will make your entire team fit, from management to product development and quality assurance to service, to avoid legal pitfalls and provide you with the knowledge you need to act with confidence.
Follow-up workshop: “Fully-assembled bicycle testing”
In the follow-up workshop “Fully-assembled bicycle testing” you will learn how to completely carry out the legally prescribed and standardised fully-assembled bicycle testing. You will receive a test report for each of the tests carried out on your models on the spot. In addition, you will receive a template for carrying out any number of tests on other models in the same category of your brand on your own.
Follow-up workshop: “Risk assessment”
The follow-up workshop “Risk assessment” accounts for your product throughout its life cycle. You will receive a file including instructions that enables you to carry out a complete risk assessment. We will then go through it together and check it for completeness and legal certainty. In addition, you will receive a template for carrying out any number of risk assessments on other models in the same category of your brand on your own.
This workshop can also be held online.
For retailers/trade groups: Basic workshop “Legal situation in sales and workshop”
The number of civil cases is rising inexorably. Changing litigiousness, legal costs insurance and more complex products are fuelling the trend in the bicycle sector as well. We estimate that 50% of the proceedings could have been avoided probably, if not certainly, if the bicycle dealer or the staff had been well versed in terms of liability for material defects or product safety, including tips on how to de-escalate aggressive customers. The uncertainty about what you are allowed to assemble and what you are not allowed also paralyses the repair business. These topics are presented in an easily consumable way in the workshops, and the different levels of knowledge are carefully balanced.
Your retailer team, from management via sales to workshop, will be made fit by us for the challenges of an increasingly demanding clientele.
