The introduction of the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) brings significant changes to product safety in the EU. This regulation ensures that all consumer products on the EU market are safe and establishes specific obligations for businesses to ensure compliance. With our latest update (version 2.9.6), you now have the ability to efficiently manage the requirements of the GPSR. This includes information on economic operators, product manufacturers, product safety information, labeling of energy-related products, and information on hazardous goods. In this blog post, we will show you how to make the most of the new features.
What is the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)?
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a new key instrument in EU product safety law, replacing the existing General Product Safety Directive and the Food Imitating Product Directive as of December 13, 2024. It modernizes the EU product safety framework and ensures that all consumer products on the EU market are safe. The GPSR applies to non-food products and all sales channels, providing a safety net for products or risks not covered by other EU legislation.
