The EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) came into force on 13 December 2024 and has far-reaching implications for multiple actors within a product’s supply chain. UK exporters of consumer products to the EU (or professional products that may fall into the hands of consumers) cannot afford to miss this essential guide to this new regulation.
With few product exceptions, the regulation aims to regulate the safety of goods not covered by existing EU standards and CE marking, as well as some that are already regulated but not when supplied via online marketplaces or distance sales. The regulation is highly comprehensive in nature with a scope extending beyond new products placed on the EU marketplace to incorporate second-hand products or products that are repaired, reconditioned, or recycled. Few UK exporters of consumer goods to the EU will be left untouched by this regulation, so a thorough understanding of obligations, how to prepare, and ensure compliance is essential.
What you will learn:
– Understand your role in the supply of goods from this regulation’s perspective.
– Understand your full obligations based on the role you play.
– Understand market surveillance and how to ensure compliance so your goods continue to move freely.
