Technical Regulations Division

Last updated: 10.12.2024


The setting up of the MCCAA absorbed the responsibilities previously covered under the remit of the Malta Standards Authority, which have now been assigned to two entities, namely the Technical Regulations Division and the Standards and Metrology Institute. 

The Technical Regulations Division is responsible for legislation issued by virtue of the Product Safety Act (Cap. 427), the Pesticides Control Act (Cap. 430) and the Food Safety Act (Cap. 449). Furthermore, the Division is the authority in Malta entrusted with the implementation of:

  • Regulation (EU) 2019/515 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2019 on the mutual recognition of goods lawfully marketed in another Member State and repealing Regulation (EC) No 764/2008;
  • Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products.

It is composed of two Directorates, namely:

The Regulatory Affairs Directorate with the responsibility of the transposition and implementation of legislation and for representing various Ministries at EU Commission and (Technical Harmonization) Council Working Parties meetings in Brussels on issues dealing with Free Movement of Goods principles (as per Annex), CE Marking, Food risk assessment, Chemicals, Pesticides and Cosmetics.

The Market Surveillance Directorate with the responsibility to ensure that only goods conforming to regulations are available on the market. Click here to report a product/s safety issue.
