Market Surveillance Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and market inspection authorities of the Federation of BiH, Republic of Srpska and Brčko District of BiH have completed joint market surveillance of electric hand-held blenders. This is one of the five groups of electrical products covered by the Order on electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (Official Gazette of BiH, 98/09) that were subject to market surveillance in 2025.

The aim of the surveillance was to determine whether the electric hand-held blenders that are available on the market of Bosnia and Herzegovina are safe for consumers to use.

During the implementation of market surveillance, a total of seven (7) inspection controls were carried out and electric hand-held blenders found on the market were controlled. Inspectors performed administrative and visual control of the products. Based on that, they selected seven (7) samples for laboratory testing, due to the suspicion that these products do not meet all the safety requirements that apply to them. Laboratory analysis determined that 1 sample (14%) did not comply with the safety requirements of the Order on electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits, and it poses a risk of injuries and fire for consumers.

Risk assessment determined that this product poses a medium risk to consumers, and measures were taken to eliminate non-compliances on all devices of that type. The importer withdrew the non-compliant products from the supply chain, brought them into compliance, and then returned them to the market.

In total, the non-compliances were eliminated in 24 hand-held blenders.
