(10)In the light of the good experience with the risk assessment guidelines that were included in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/417note laying down guidelines for the management of the European Union Rapid Information System ‘RAPEX’, of the need to preserve the continuity between the RAPEX and the Safety Gate Rapid Alert System and of the objective of ensuring a correct and effective operation of Safety Gate Rapid Alert System, the criteria for the assessment of the level of risks should also include a methodology allowing the national authorities to assess how a harm or a hazard might turn into a risk and, in that context, how the level of the risk should be assessed and established. That approach ensures the correct use of those criteria and, consequently, a correct determination of the level of risk by the Member States with respect to products notified through the Safety Gate Alert System.
