General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) Compliance

The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a cornerstone of the EU’s product safety framework, in effect as of December 13, 2024. It ensures that all consumer products marketed within the European Union meet stringent safety standards, regardless of the sales channel. This regulation applies to non-food items and outlines detailed responsibilities for businesses to guarantee product safety.

Under the GPSR, businesses are required to ensure that their products are safe for consumers. This involves adhering to all relevant safety measures, maintaining clear documentation, and responding promptly to any safety concerns or inquiries. The regulation is designed to protect consumers and promote accountability across all levels of the supply chain.
