How do I find out about product/service liability regulations in other countries?

Products and product literature need to comply with all local regulatory requirements. The British Standards Institution's Technical Help to Exporters service can help to research this.

In the case of services, contracts need to specify what is being supplied and the limits of obligation. Take advice on local law to ensure it does not over-ride any parts of the contract. Further information is available from the Law Society.
