LocationWebinar

Date 11.10.2024, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm (CET)

The EU Gene­ral Pro­duct Safe­ty Regu­la­ti­on (GPSR) and the UK Perspective

Ano­ther date for the event


15 Novem­ber 2024, 11:00 am (CET) 

After a short time by Euro­pean stan­dards, the new Pro­duct Safe­ty Regu­la­ti­on (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR) was published in the Offi­ci­al Jour­nal of the Euro­pean Uni­on on 23 May 2023 and will enter into effect on 13 Decem­ber 2024. Com­pared to the Pro­duct Safe­ty Direc­ti­ve, which is still in force, the GPSR impo­ses a signi­fi­cant­ly broa­der set of obli­ga­ti­ons on the eco­no­mic ope­ra­tors con­cer­ned, par­ti­cu­lar­ly on the manu­fac­tu­r­ers of pro­ducts, inclu­ding clear requi­re­ments for the imple­men­ta­ti­on of a pro­duct com­pli­ance manage­ment sys­tem, clear rules on how to per­form a recall and increased noti­fi­ca­ti­on and coope­ra­ti­on obli­ga­ti­ons. In par­al­lel, the UK has deve­lo­ped its own UK Pro­duct Safe­ty Regu­la­ti­on, which is in parts in line with the Euro­pean logic, but dif­fers decisi­ve­ly in other parts.

Within the web­i­nar, Saskia Witt­brodt and Tom Wal­ker will pre­sent the two legal sys­tems, simi­la­ri­ties and dif­fe­ren­ces with a focus on the obli­ga­ti­ons set out for manu­fac­tu­r­ers when pla­cing pro­ducts on the mar­kets and pos­si­ble con­se­quen­ces in case of non-compliance: an inter­ac­ti­ve semi­nar cove­ring pro­duct safe­ty regu­la­ti­on in the EU and UK.
