What it is
ČOI (Česká obchodní inspekce, the Czech Trade Inspection Authority) is Czechia’s authority for market surveillance of products and services on the domestic market, supervising businesses that sell or supply products to consumers.
Why it matters for compliance
For products sold in Czechia, ČOI is the authority that can inspect products, request technical documentation, test, and act against non-compliant or unsafe goods. It is the Czech enforcement contact a consumer-product brand is most likely to meet; standards sit with ČAS.
How to use it
- Keep your technical file and DoC ready for a documentation request.
- Use ČOI guidance for Czech product-safety expectations.
- Pair it with ČAS for the standards behind conformity.
Good to know
National authorities across the EU cooperate and share findings, so a problem identified in Czechia can prompt action in other Member States too.
