Read this correctly
This page reproduces the fields published on the notice and links to the notice itself. It is not a rating and not a statement about a product's current condition, availability or safety.
This notice carries no class in the published data. A blank class means the field is blank — it is not a statement that the product was low risk.
A notice marked archived is retained in the register. Archiving is a record-keeping step; it does not change what was recorded.
