Here is the honest situation. The EU's revised Product Liability Directive modernises no-fault liability for defective products, and it now expressly covers software, digital services and AI. It widens who can be liable, extends recoverable damage to include data loss, and eases the claimant's burden with presumptions of defectiveness and court-ordered disclosure of evidence. A manufacturer or software provider that has good products but cannot show its technical documentation, its post-market surveillance or its update management is exactly where economic operators fall short when a claim lands.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is the revised PLD written as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a claim examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the revised EU Product Liability Directive, with defectiveness, software and AI liability, safety and cybersecurity, recoverable damage including data loss, disclosure of evidence, presumptions, defences and limitation, post-market surveillance, updates and supply chain called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is confirming how the Directive applies, where scope begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. Documentation you cannot produce triggers a presumption of defectiveness. This tells you what a claim examines and where economic operators fall short, for every obligation.
- Software liability and disclosure built in. Software and update liability, disclosure readiness and post-market surveillance are written into the controls, the substance the revised PLD requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The PLD aligns with product safety and cyber-resilience rules, so this work feeds your wider compliance program.
Who buys this
Manufacturers, importers, software and AI providers and other economic operators, and their legal, quality and engineering leads. Whether it is a first alignment or a claims-readiness pass, you save weeks and walk in with defectiveness, documentation and post-market structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover software and AI? Yes. Software as a product and defects from updates and machine learning are built as controls.
Does it cover disclosure and presumptions? Yes. Preparing for court-ordered disclosure and understanding the presumptions of defectiveness are built as controls.
Is this legal advice? No. It is an implementation toolkit grounded in the revised PLD. For a specific matter consult counsel; this gets your controls and evidence in order fast.
