Your Assurance of Safety – General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)
At Polytex Stoffen, we are committed to the highest standards of product safety and customer satisfaction. As a leading manufacturer of high-quality fabrics and textile products, we understand that the safety and reliability of our products are essential. This is why we comply with the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), Regulation (EU) 2023/988, which will come into effect on December 13, 2024. This legislation imposes strict requirements to protect consumers and ensure that all products offered on the European market are safe for use.
What is the GPSR?
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) replaces the older General Product Safety Directive (2001/95/EC) and introduces new, comprehensive requirements to further enhance the safety of consumer products. The GPSR applies to all products offered on the European market, both physically and online, and is relevant for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and fulfillment service providers.
The core of the GPSR focuses on:
- Minimizing risks for consumers, especially vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
- Transparent information and warnings for users.
- Accountability for product safety across the entire supply chain.
- Strengthening traceability and recall procedures.
Our Approach: How We Comply with the GPSR
At Polytex Stoffen, we have taken specific steps to ensure our products meet these new regulations. Below is an overview of our approach:
