⇨ Learn what responsibilities relating to product safety and established by the GPSR you have in the relevant sections of these guidelines.

These guidelines explain to you what your obligations under the GPSR are. These obligations have been applicable since 13 December 2024 and concern all products on the EU market that fall within the scope of the GPSR, (regardless of their place of production). Member States must not prevent the making available on the market of products covered by the previous General Product Safety Directive (5) that are in conformity with that Directive and were placed on the market before 13 December 2024. The GPSR covers a wide variety of products and therefore does not establish specific obligations by sector. For products covered by specific EU sectoral rules, the GPSR complements these sectoral rules (as explained in more detail in point 2.2 of these guidelines). Remember that providing safe products to consumers is not only a legal requirement but also increases trust in your company.
