What it is
Konsumentverket (the Swedish Consumer Agency) is Sweden’s authority for consumer protection, including consumer product safety and market surveillance. It oversees that products on the Swedish market are safe and that consumer information rules are met.
Why it matters for compliance
For brands selling consumer goods in Sweden, Konsumentverket is a key market-surveillance authority — the body that can check products, require documentation and act on unsafe goods. Sweden also splits some competences (electrical safety sits with Elsäkerhetsverket, chemicals with Kemikalieinspektionen), so Konsumentverket is part of a small set of Swedish authorities a brand should know.
How to use it
- Keep your technical file and DoC ready for documentation requests.
- Use its guidance on consumer information and product safety in Sweden.
- Combine with the other Swedish authorities for electrical and chemical matters.
Good to know
In Sweden, product responsibilities are split across several authorities — match the right authority to the product’s risk (general safety, electrical, chemical, environmental, food).
