Product safety (GPSR)
The new General Product Safety regulations (GPSR) were introduced on December 13th 2024. It makes sure consumer's products within Europe are safe to use. The new and improved rules apply to non-food goods seller and manufactures need to apply. This also includes (small) business. GPSR provides a safety net for product or risks not regulated outside of the EU.
