COMMISSION NOTICE Guidelines on the application of the EU general product safety legislative framework by businesses · European Union
Modification of a product, by physical or digital means, might affect the nature and characteristics of the product in a way which was not foreseen in the initial risk assessment of the product, and which might jeopardise its safety. Such modification by any natural or legal person should therefore be considered as a substantial modification and, when not done by the consumer or on his behalf, should lead to the product being considered as a new product from a different manufacturer.
