Are you aware of GPSR, the regulations surrounding consumer product safety?

On Dec. 13, 2024, the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) will replace the current General Product Safety Directive (GPSD).

The GPSR ensures that all non-food consumer products on the EU market are safe and imposes various obligations on companies to ensure this. This provides a safety net for products or risks not covered by other EU legislation. As a result, EU consumers are always protected from unsafe products.

The main objectives of the GPSR are:

  • Ensuring that only safe products are made available to consumers.
  • Imposing responsibilities on manufacturers, agents, importers and distributors to market only safe products.
  • Establishing requirements applicable to fulfillment service providers and online marketplaces.
  • Providing a framework for market surveillance authorities to monitor and enforce product safety requirements.
  • Establish procedures for the rapid exchange of information on unsafe products between EU member states and the recall of dangerous products.
