Article 1 establishes the subject matter: this Directive lays down common rules on liability of economic operators for damage suffered by natural persons caused by defective products. Article 2 sets the personal + material scope: applies to liability for damage caused by defective products placed on the market or put into service after 9 December 2026 (Article 22 transitional preserves Directive 85/374/EEC for products placed before that date). Article 3 sets the relationship to other Union law and to national law: this Directive shall not affect rights of injured persons under other Union or national law, in particular consumer protection law, contract law, environmental law, anti-discrimination law, product safety + market surveillance law including GPSR (Regulation (EU) 2023/988); also without prejudice to specific liability rules under Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 (civil aviation), Council Decision 88/591/EEC (atomic energy) and national workers' compensation schemes.
This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
The graph holds this control, the 1 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
