The Regulation will replace the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) which will apply from 13 December 2024.
Examples of products covered by the GPSR and for which harmonised standards exist:
Childcare articles (e.g. walking frames)
Gymnastics equipment (e.g. asymmetric bars)
Stationary training equipment (e.g. treadmills)
Furniture (e.g. camping tables)
Cycles (e.g. bicycles)
Roller sports equipment (e.g. roller skates)
Floating leisure articles for use on and in water
Paragliding equipment (e.g. emergency parachutes)
The GPSR defines the different natural or legal entities responsible for carrying out activities related to the manufacture and sale of a product.
Safety requirements:
- Product characteristics: e.g. composition, design, packaging, technical specifications, etc.;
- Product labelling, age information for children, warnings and instructions;
- Risk assessment of how the product could affect different categories of consumers based on age, disability or gender;
- Where required by the product, relevant cybersecurity features protecting the product from malicious third-party activities that could negatively impact the safety of the product.
