ID 504 · Contractual and Product Liability in the Automotive Value Chain
Background and Topics
Successful system certification (e.g., according to VDA 6.1 or IATF 16949) requires an organisation to be familiar with the basics of contractual and product liability. Personnel in the organisation must be aware of the effects of a nonconforming product, as relevant to their tasks. The consequences of product liability for the organisation must be basically known to all personnel.
Contractual and product liability are not only based on continually changing legislation, but also on jurisdiction, ignoring which can have grave consequences. Especially within the framework of compliance requirements for the automotive value added chain, personnel must be familiar with the basics of legal business activities. For this purpose, this two-day training on contractual and product liability has been conceived.
Target Audience
(Prospective) executives and personnel from all areas of the organisation (development, planning, production, quality assurance, sales, customer service, management) with technical and commercial training.
Objectives
The focus is on teaching expert knowledge and competence with which the participants can successfully implement the basics of contractual and product liability within their field of activity. The current legal basis of product liability, contractual liability in the automotive value chain and criminal product liability are explained. Further topics are quality assurance agreements, compliance requirements in the value chain and US product liability basics. The participants thus learn to assess and avoid product liability risks.
Concept and Methods
Technical lectures are complemented by legal questions in case examples, that support the transfer of the topics into the participants‘ own work environment with a particular focus on exchanging experiences between participants and the trainer.
Certificate of Attendance
At the end of this training course, participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
