The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) (EU) 2023/988 is now fully in effect as of December 13, 2024, replacing the General Product Safety Directive. This regulation modernises product safety requirements for non-food consumer goods in the EU, introducing stricter compliance measures and a stronger legal framework for enforcement.

If you’re a manufacturer, retailer, or importer of consumer products in the EU, this one-hour webinar will help you understand the impact of these changes and how to ensure compliance. Our experts will guide you through:

• The key objectives and drivers behind the GPSR
• Major changes compared to the previous directive
• Safety assessment requirements and how to implement them
• A live Q&A session with our industry specialists

Gain a clear understanding of how the GPSR impacts your business and what steps you need to take to stay compliant.

The webinar is offered in two different timeslots with the same content. Please attend the one that suits you best. A recording of this webinar will be available to registrants on-demand after the session.
