The Regulation is Here. Are You Compliant?
Applicable since end of December 2024, the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 has replaced the General Product Safety Directive, introducing significant new responsibilities for companies placing consumer products on the EU market. If your products include digital elements or AI, your compliance obligations have expanded dramatically. This is not a future deadline—it is a present requirement.
As physical products become increasingly connected, automated, and intelligent, safety expectations have evolved. The GPSR strengthens obligations for all economic operators, including manufacturers, importers, distributors, fulfilment service providers, and online marketplaces. Providers of products with digital and AI components now face new, urgent requirements around risk assessment, transparency, traceability, and lifecycle safety. Non-compliance poses immediate risks of market surveillance actions, costly recalls, and lasting reputational damage.
This webinar provides an essential guide to GPSR compliance, helping you understand what it truly means for the next generation of smart products. We will move beyond the legalese to offer a practical, actionable framework for implementation.
