Released: GPSR data can now be maintained
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a new key instrument in the EU product safety legal framework, replacing from 13 December 2024 the current General Product Safety Directive and the Food Imitating Product Directive. It modernises the EU general product safety framework and address the new challenges posed to product safety by the digitalisation of our economies.
The GPSR requires that all consumer products on the EU markets are safe and it establishes specific obligations for businesses to ensure it. It applies to non-food products and to all sales channels. The GPSR provides a safety net for products or risks not regulated in other EU legislation. This safety net function means that EU consumers are always protected against dangerous products, be it now or in the future (Source).
In particular, the regulation stipulates that for products that fall under the regulation and whose manufacturer is not based in the EU, the contact details of an EU-responsible person must be provided to the end customer. A person is a natural or legal person based in the EU who is named by the manufacturer. The individual, additional data can be entered within the system at the respective manufacturer accordingly.
The additional contact details include
EU-Responsible Name
EU-Responsible Street
EU-Responsible House No
EU-Responsible Post Code
EU-Responsible Town
EU-Responsible Country
EU-Responsible Email
They can be stored within the system under Setup » Articles » Manufacturer » [Open manufacturer] for the respective manufacturer. The implementation for transmitting this data to the individual marketplaces and webshop systems has not yet been completed.
Further information on the progress of the transfer to the individual sales platforms will be provided here.
