General Product Safety Regulation
The General Product Safety Regulation, or GPSR, is a European Union regulation designed to ensure that all products on the market are safe.
GPSR requires manufacturers and suppliers to conduct the necessary safety assessments of their products and take measures, such as labeling warnings and providing instructions for use, when necessary to ensure the safety of their products for consumers. In addition, GPSR requires manufacturers and suppliers to immediately notify the consumers of any possible safety risks associated with their products.
The GPSR amends the previous General Product Safety Directive (GPSD). The new regulation adds legal requirements for product responsible persons, product labeling, compliance documentation and contact information.
