Summary/Abstract: The legal basis and principles of functioning of the Rapid Alert System for dangerous non-food products (RAPEX) were presented. The research included the notifications submitted in the RAPEX system for products from China in the period 2005–2016. The dependences between product categories and year, level of risk, product user, submitting country, risk type and the entity taking measures were examined. The cluster analysis, scatterplots and pivot tables were applied. The most important problems were identified as well as the need for further cooperation between the European Commission and China.
