A good product doesn’t injure its users. Safety is fundamental—not a premium feature but a baseline requirement. Machines must have proper guards. Electrical products must not shock.
Pressurized systems must not burst. Moving parts must not catch fingers. Materials must not be toxic. German product safety law and CE marking requirements enforce this, but beyond compliance, safety is a design expectation.
When delivering physical products to Germans, treat safety as essential. Conduct hazard analysis. Include required safety features. Provide safety documentation.
Test for foreseeable misuse. Safety failures are among the most damaging failures a product can have—they create liability, destroy reputation, and cause real harm.
