The 2024 PLD introduces a substantive 'substantial modification' rule that transfers liability to the modifier. Article 4(18) defines substantial modification: a modification of a product after it has been placed on the market or put into service that is not foreseen or planned in the initial risk assessment of the manufacturer + changes the product's original performance + purpose + type in a way that affects the conformity with the relevant safety requirements. Article 7(1) where an economic operator (typically a distributor or any subsequent operator) substantially modifies a product, that operator becomes the 'manufacturer' for PLD purposes for the modified product. Article 16(3) the modifier triggers a NEW 10-year long-stop from the date of the modification + the original manufacturer remains liable only for the unmodified aspects. The substantial-modification rule is significantly broader than the prior 85/374/EEC regime and creates direct PLD exposure for refurbishers + remanufacturers + system integrators + AI fine-tuners that change a base model's behaviour.
This control maps to 2 controls across 2 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 2 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
