GPSR

It is an EU regulation that sets general safety requirements for products. It establishes the following points:

• Improves consumer protection by setting fair competition conditions for businesses, enhancing the internal EU market.

• To achieve this, it replaces the current directive on general product safety, ensuring the safety of consumer goods sold both online and offline.

• Applies to new, refurbished, used or repaired products.

• Applies to all products offered to EU consumers through any sales channels.

• Does not apply to:

  • Medicines

  • Food and feed

  • Live plants or animals

  • Animal by-products

  • Phytosanitary products

  • Transport equipment operated by a service provider

  • Aircraft

  • Antiques

  • Products clearly marked as requiring repair or refurbishment before use

Economic operators may only place products on the market that are safe. Safety will be evaluated based on:

• Product characteristics, design, technical features, composition, packaging or instructions.

• Impact on other products.

• Product presentation, labeling, warnings, and safety-related instructions and information.

• The categories of consumers expected to use the product.

• Product appearance, especially if it resembles food or is attractive to children.

• Cybersecurity features and any self-learning or predictive functionality.

• Manufacturer identification details, such as legal name, registered brand, postal address and email. If the manufacturer is not in the EU, provide the importer or authorized representative’s details.

• Any safety warnings or information that must be placed on the product or packaging, ensuring compliance with this regulation or other applicable EU harmonization laws, in a language understood by consumers depending on the country of sale.
