On December 13, 2024, the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) 2023/988 comes into force and replaces the existing Directive 2001/95/EC. The aim of the new regulation is to ensure the safety of products offered and sold to consumers via digital and physical distribution channels.
The GPSR has far-reaching implications for online retailers who sell their products via their own online store or via marketplaces (such as Amazon, Ebay or Tyre24). This is because the following information must be clearly visible on their product pages from the effective date:
- Manufacturer information: Name, address and contact details of the manufacturer.
- Responsible person in the EU: If the manufacturer is based outside the EU, contact details of a responsible person in the EU must be provided.
- Product details: Details for precise identification, including product name, images, article number (such as EAN, GTIN or PZN) and other characteristics.
- Product documents, safety information and warnings: all information relevant to consumer safety must be presented in a clear and easily understandable manner.
