Description

UK exporters of consumer products to the EU (or professional products that may fall into the hands of consumers) must comply with new EU product safety regulation. Coming into force on 13th December this year, the EU General Product Safety Regulation has far-reaching implications for multiple actors within a product’s supply chain. With few product exceptions, the regulation aims to regulate the safety of goods not covered by existing EU standards and CE marking, as well as some that are already regulated but not when supplied via online marketplaces or distance sales. The regulation is highly comprehensive in nature with a scope extending beyond new products placed on the EU marketplace to incorporate second-hand products or products that are repaired, reconditioned, or recycled. Few UK exporters of consumer goods to the EU will be left untouched by this regulation, so a thorough understanding of obligations, how to prepare, and ensure compliance is essential.

Overview

1. Understand your role in the supply of goods from a GPSR perspective
2. Understand your full obligations based on the role you play
3. Understand specifics of each EU Member State i.e. language, penalties for non-compliance
4. Understand market surveillance authorities’ role and how this regulation will be policed and enforced
5. Understand how to ensure compliance so your goods continue to move freely into the EU post 13th December
