Part 1 of a three part Handbook that establishes a Product Safety Framework that is designed to enhance the safe supply, sale and use of products. It provides a verification process that allows for validation. It thus provides a generic hazards-based approach rather than focussing on specific products.

This Australian Handbook contains a Product Safety Framework (PSF) that is designed to enhance the safe supply, sale and use of products. It is a product risk management system that addresses the sources of risk associated with products and establishes a set of requirements and test methods to manage such risks with products.It provides a verification process that allows for validation. It thus provides a generic hazards-based approach rather than focussing on specific products.The Product Safety Framework is a process which can be applied to any product including new products, existing product designs and new product designs.
