How the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR) Requirements Impact Your Products and Business
How does the new European Union General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 or GPSR impact your products and business after December 13, 2024? Read this post with the 9 points that require your attention.
1. Product Safety
A product may only be placed on the EU market if it has been assessed for safety. In most cases, this means the product undergoes a risk assessment, tests and inspections.
If you buy ready-made products or critical parts or components from suppliers, you may rely on them to have already undergone safety assessments. Unfortunately, our experience shows that seldomly the safety assessments and test reports and certificates are complete. It is recommended to conduct or commission the safety assessments yourself. Every time a product is modified, retesting and re-assessments may be required.
