Starting from 13 December 2024, EU Regulation 2023/988, known as General Product, will officially come into force Safety Regulation (GPSR). This regulation represents an important step forward in consumer protection and the harmonization of safety standards for products marketed throughout the European Union.

Let's see together what changes and how it could influence your shopping experience, especially when it comes to high quality products like those offered by PetBoutique

What does GPSR provide?

The GPSR replaces the previous Directive 2001/95/EC on general product safety and introduces new rules to ensure that every product placed on the European market is safe for its intended use, including those sold online.

The main innovations include:

1. More responsibility for online sellers: Marketplaces and e-commerce companies will have to verify that the products they offer comply with EU security requirements.
2. New rules for smart products: Expands the concept of security to include technology-related risks, such as cybersecurity for connected devices.
3. Traceability and transparency: All products will have to be more easily traceable along the supply chain, allowing rapid identification in case of problems.
4. Obligations for non-EU distributors: For imported products, distributors must appoint a representative in the European Union, responsible for compliance with the regulations.
