Meet the revised Product Liability Directive, without decoding it yourself.
Every obligation handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from defectiveness and software liability through disclosure and presumptions to post-market surveillance and insurance, with the evidence a claim examines.
Liability-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.

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

18
Obligations as adopt-ready controls. Every obligation, from defectiveness and software liability through disclosure to post-market and insurance, written so you personalize and apply it.
18
Evidence-a-claim-examines checklists. For each control, exactly what a claim examines, plus where economic operators fall short, so you close the gap first.
1
Product Liability Control Matrix, pre-built. Every obligation in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status, owner and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each obligation and the workbook returns your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

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.

Software is now a product, and disclosure can flip the burden
The revised PLD treats software as a product and lets defects arise from updates and AI, extends damage to lost data, and lets courts order disclosure of your evidence, with a presumption of defectiveness if you cannot produce it. Weak documentation becomes a losing case. This Kit builds defectiveness, disclosure readiness and post-market controls with the evidence a claim asks for.

What one control looks like

This is confirming how the Directive applies, where scope begins. All 18 are built to this depth.

PLD-1 Confirm how the Directive applies SCOPE
Put this control in place

Determine and document how the revised Product Liability Directive applies to [your organization name] as a manufacturer, importer, authorised representative, fulfilment service provider or, in some cases, distributor or software provider, including that products now cover software and digital manufacturing files, so scope is clear and the organization can evidence its applicability assessment.

Regulatory note.

The revised EU Product Liability Directive modernises no-fault liability for defective products and expressly covers software and digital products.

Evidence a claim examines
  • An applicability assessment against the PLD
  • Economic operator role identified
  • Software and digital products in scope
Common finding they raise: An organization does not assess whether the revised PLD applies to it.

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.

By the end of the weekend you will have
✓  An adopt-ready control for all 18 obligations
✓  A completed product liability control matrix
✓  The evidence a claim examines
✓  Your defectiveness, documentation and disclosure readiness in place
✓  A readiness percentage and a fix list
✓  The post-market and supply-chain gaps closed

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.
