General Product Safety Regulation – Where Are We One Year On?
Event summary
4:00 PM GMT // 5:00 PM CET // 6:00 PM EET
It’s been a year since the European Union’s (EU) General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) started to apply. While some aspects of the regulation have settled into practice, others remain open to interpretation, and the landscape continues to shift.
In this session, we’ll take stock of where things stand for businesses selling consumer products in or into the EU. We’ll focus on what’s clear, what’s less clear, and some implementation and enforcement trends.
Topics will include:
- What’s been clarified over the past year
- How regulators are approaching enforcement and where they’re focusing
- Key compliance challenges for manufacturers, importers, distributors and marketplaces
- Divergence between EU and UK regimes and what it means in practice
- What businesses should be preparing for in 2026
This is a practical, business-focused briefing designed to help legal, compliance and commercial teams stay ahead of developments and manage risk across their product portfolios.
