What you’ll learn
- Understand your role in the supply of goods from this regulation’s perspective

- Understand market surveillance and how to ensure compliance so your goods continue to move freely into the EU post 13 December 2024.
Description
The EU General Product Safety Regulation has far-reaching implications for multiple actors within a product’s supply chain.
The regulation aims to ensure the safety of goods not covered by existing EU standards and CE marking, including some already regulated but not when sold online or via distance sales. It is comprehensive, covering new products on the EU market as well as second-hand, repaired, reconditioned, or recycled items.
Most UK exporters of consumer goods to the EU will be affected, so understanding obligations, preparation, and compliance is crucial.
