Consumers love to buy new products, from toys to furniture and electronics to sports equipment. But how can we make sure that the toys kids play with aren't harmful? That the coolest new high-tech device won't overheat and catch fire? That the latest wonder cleaner doesn't give off toxic fumes?

Each year, millions of people around the world are seriously injured because of dangerous products. These devastating injuries highlight the stakes when it comes to product safety.

The May/June edition of ISO Focus+, the magazine of the International Organization for Standardization, highlights some of the leading issues in the battle to protect consumers, from product recall and counterfeit and fraud measures to second-hand goods and market surveillance.

How do ISO standards help? ISO standards protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death caused by consumer goods, offering practical solutions to stakeholders up and down the supply chain – from designers to retailers – in a bid to create a safer world for all.

Find out more about how International Standards protect consumers and build a safer world for us all with the May/June edition out now.
