REGULATION (EU) 2023/988 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 10 May 2023 on general product safety, amending Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive (EU) 2020/1828 of the European Parliament and the Council, and repealing Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 87/357/EEC (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(48) The Product Safety Pledge, first signed in 2018 and joined by a number of providers of online marketplaces since then, provides for a number of voluntary commitments on product safety. The Product Safety Pledge has proved its rationale in enhancing the protection of consumers against dangerous products sold online. In order to strengthen the protection of consumers by avoiding damage to their life, health and safety and to ensure fair competition in the internal market, providers of online marketplaces are encouraged to undertake those voluntary commitments to prevent the re-appearance of listings of dangerous products already withdrawn. The use of technologies and digital processes and the improvements in alert systems, in particular the Safety Gate Portal, can allow the automatic identification and communication of notified dangerous products and to carry out automated random checks against the Safety Gate Portal.
