What should teams do about OPSS Notices under UK PSTI Product Security?
Teams should treat an OPSS Notice as a formal enforcement step from OPSS under the PSTI Act. The notice may require a business to take action within a specified period, stop non-compliant activity, arrange a recall, or pay a monetary penalty, so the first task is to identify the notice type, the deadline, and the exact duty or product covered.
The safest first step is to classify the product and supply-chain role before deciding whether the duty belongs to the manufacturer, importer, distributor, or authorised representative. Then record who owns the response, what evidence the notice asks for, and whether representations or an appeal are available.
- Read the notice type first: Compliance Notice, Stop Notice, Recall Notice, or Monetary Penalty Notice.
- Confirm the deadline and any evidence request in the notice.
- Route unclear cases to legal, privacy, security, or compliance review before responding.
