🚨 Start the Year with the New GPSR Regulation - Essential Updates for Product Identification and Labelling!
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), effective from 13 December 2024, modernizes EU product safety laws to address new risks and market realities. It replaces the outdated 2001 directive, introducing stricter requirements for manufacturers, importers, and distributors.
Key changes include:
🔹 Manufacturer Identification: Products must display the manufacturer’s name, address, and a traceable identifier (e.g., serial number).
🔹 Unique Identifiers: Use QR codes or similar to ensure easy product tracking and compliance verification.
🔹 Local Language Labels: All labels, instructions, and warnings must be in the official language(s) of the market.
🔹 Compliance Markings: Products must include required conformity marks (e.g., CE marking, where applicable).
🔹 Document Retention: Technical documentation must be kept for at least 10 years after market entry.
🔹 Recall Readiness: Labelling must enable quick identification of defective batches for efficient recalls.
GPSR aims to strengthen consumer safety, build trust, and ensure a fair market for all stakeholders.
