The importance of product safety in retail
全国各地的JDB电子通过确保我们购买的物品不危险，在个人的日常安全方面发挥着不可或缺的作用. Examples of the ways retailers keep consumers safe:
- 当发现产品存在安全隐患时，将产品从商店货架上撤下. In many cases, this is done before a recall has even been issued.
- Communicating with customers about recalled products.
- Sharing information with Health Canada and manufacturers
In order to enhance and prevent future issues, RCC及其零售成员继续与标准开发机构合作, manufacturers, and regulators to strengthen and develop new standards when needed.
Product safety issues RCC advocates for on behalf of retailers
Harmonizing regulatory requirements between Canada and the U.S.
RCC has been a significant contributor to the Canada-U.S. 监管合作委员会专注于协调美国和美国之间的法规.S. and Canada. 这方面的差异限制了加拿大市场上的产品选择和可用性, which ultimately adds to the cost of many household items.
我们知道协调是可以实现的，而且对所有加拿大人都有益. 例如，在食品安全领域，现在美国已经相互承认.S. 和加拿大食品安全标准. 我们没有理由与我们最大的贸易伙伴存在这些分歧.
政府应该利用每一个机会，通过减少不必要的法规和繁文缛节，帮助保持消费品的成本尽可能低. RCC continues to urge the government that.
产品安全法规的协调将增加选择，降低成本.
Standards should be the standard
Although product safety regulations are needed and have their place, in most circumstances a standard is better. 法规通常要经过多年的协商和审议才能最终定稿和公布. 一旦最终确定下来，如果它们过时了，可能需要几十年的时间来更新. On the other hand, 标准的产生通常需要更少的时间，如果由于创新或新技术而需要更改，则会更加灵活.
With the example of BBQ brushes, 加拿大卫生部和JDB电子领导了一项新的生产 CSA BBQ Brush standard in under two years from start to finish. 现在有了一个标准，加拿大卫生部将有权在销售的烧烤刷不符合这些要求的情况下进行召回.
RCC将继续倡导标准开发是大多数产品安全新出现问题的第一道防线.
COVID-19 and product safety
新冠肺炎大流行在几个方面给全国各地的JDB电子带来了前所未有的挑战, including procuring essential items such as face masks, hand sanitizers, disinfectants, and even soap. JDB电子与加拿大卫生部和其他政府部门密切合作，通过倡导某些监管要求，确保加拿大人在全球短缺的情况下不会失去这些必需品, such as labelling rules that had no impact on the product itself, be temporarily exempt.
红十字会将继续与加拿大卫生部合作，直到局势恢复正常和供应恢复正常.
