The Safety Gate system allows for information on measures taken against non-food dangerous products to be circulated quickly among the national authorities responsible for product safety in the Single Market countries.

Every day, national authorities send alerts to the Safety Gate. Each alert contains information on the kind of product detected as dangerous, a description of the risk and the measures taken by the economic operator or ordered by the authority.

All countries have to follow up this information and if they find the same product on their own markets and have taken further measures, they have to share this information on Safety Gate as well.
