General Product Safety Regulations 2005
UK | Active
The General Product Safety Regulations 2005 (GPSR) in Great Britain are designed to ensure that products placed on the market are safe for consumers to use. The regulations require producers to ensure that their products meet safety requirements and are free from hazards that could pose a risk to health or safety. Manufacturers, importers, and distributors are obliged to take necessary measures to ensure their products are safe, conduct appropriate testing, and provide clear instructions for safe use. The GPSR also outlines requirements for market surveillance authorities to monitor compliance, investigate risks, and take corrective actions such as product recalls if necessary. These regulations aim to protect consumers from unsafe products while fostering transparency and accountability in product safety.
