Additional information: About the Office for Product Safety and Standards The Office for Product Safety and Standards ("the Office") was established in January 2018 to build upgraded national capacity for product safety. Its strategy is underpinned by four key objectives: Analyse - strengthening analysis to support effective decision making, making the best use of scientific evidence, risk and intelligence Inform - providing information to support consumers in making informed choices and ensuring that businesses have the information they need to be responsible and comply with the law. Enforce - delivering responsive, effective and targeted enforcement to maintain protection, fairness and confidence. Build - creating a robust product safety system infrastructure that supports innovation and ensures the UK system is fit for the future. In support of these objectives, the Office has established a Scientific and Technical Advice Unit to help place science and evidence at the heart of our work. As a result, its Strategic Research Programme is commissioning high quality, science-based research to strengthen the evidence base for product safety policy, delivery and enforcement.
