Use inspectors to ensure compliance with the legal requirements of a particular sector where sufficient resources are available. Compliance measures could include:
- Voluntary compliance where inspectors work with suppliers to correct or remove from the market those products that are non-compliant with the law;
- Ordering a supplier to take corrective action; or
- Sanctions which can include fines or in severe cases, imprisonment.
