EU GPSR Compliance
White Paper: A Practical Guide to Product Testing and Safety
Effective December 2024, Regulation (EU) 2023/988 - the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) - represents a significant advancement in consumer protection within the European Union (EU).
As a regulation, the GPSR is directly applicable in all EU Member States, allowing for immediate enforcement without the need for individual Member States to transpose it into national law, as is required with directives.
Ensuring compliance with the new safety requirements in GPSR is crucial for anyone doing business in the EU.
This white paper serves as a guide for manufacturers and stakeholders in the softlines and hardlines industries, offering insights into:
- Overview of the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)
- Key updates to GPSR
- What it means for Softlines and Hardlines industries
- Eurofins Softlines & Hardlines: Ensuring product safety and compliance for GPSR
