Learn How the New GPSR is Changing Product Safety Standards Webinar

Applicable from the 13 December 2024, Regulation (EU) 2023/988 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 May 2023 on general product safety, also called the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), replaces the General Product Safety Directive, and and places new responsibilities on British companies exporting to the EU, European Economic Area (EEA) and Northern Ireland (NI).

The GPSR applies to consumer products, but those designed exclusively for professional use which subsequently reach the consumer market, should also comply with it.

It is complementary to other EU specific safety legislation covering any additional aspects and risks not addressed by the requirements of that specific legislation.

The Regulation introduces several important changes affecting both economic operators (EOs) and authorities, with the aim of improving product safety standards across the EU.

Whether you’re a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer, these changes cover all consumer products sold in the EU, online and offline, and will impact how you do business.

Join us for this informative 1 ½ hour webinar where we’ll dive deep into the key updates, new requirements, and how your business can stay compliant. Our trainer will guide you through everything you need to know about this important regulation.

We will:

•    Familiarise companies with the GPSR
•    Cover how to review and update internal processes
•    Help you ensure product safety and traceability
•    Prepare you for increased market surveillance
•    How to cooperate with authorities and online platforms
