Sikkerhedsstyrelsen — the Danish Safety Technology Authority

Sikkerhedsstyrelsen is Denmark's product safety and market surveillance authority — the body most likely to check a consumer product placed on the Danish market.

What it is

Sikkerhedsstyrelsen (the Danish Safety Technology Authority) is Denmark’s authority for product safety and market surveillance, covering areas such as electrical products, gas, toys and other consumer goods. It inspects products on the Danish market, handles notifications, and can order corrective action.

Why it matters for compliance

If you sell consumer products in Denmark, Sikkerhedsstyrelsen is the authority that can request your technical documentation, test products, and require correction, withdrawal or recall where a product is non-compliant or unsafe. Knowing it exists — and keeping your technical file and Declaration of Conformity ready to produce — is part of being prepared for the Danish market.

How to use it

  • Keep your technical file and DoC available in case of a documentation request.
  • Use its guidance to understand Danish enforcement priorities and procedures.
  • Note it as the Danish point of contact for product-safety matters.

Good to know

National market-surveillance authorities across the EU cooperate and share findings, so a problem identified in Denmark can prompt action in other Member States too.
