The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a new key instrument in the EU product safety legal framework, replacing from 13 December 2024 the current General Product Safety Directive and the Food Imitating Product Directive . It modernises the EU general product safety framework and address the new challenges posed to product safety by the digitalisation of our economies.
The GPSR directive requires that all consumer products on the EU markets are safe and it establishes specific obligations for businesses to ensure it.
It applies to non-food products and to all sales channels. The GPSR provides a safety net for products or risks not regulated in other EU legislation. This safety net function means that EU consumers are always protected against dangerous products, be it now or in the future.
In order to comply with these regulations Glenbrae (Spectrum Yarns Ltd) as the manufacturer/importer has appointed an EU Responsible Person. This person is the point of contact for the EU authorities.
