37 Taiwan Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association ready sold. These are embarrassing, brand damaging and costly steps to be taken, which can be avoided by producing safe products only. My following 2024 contribution for TSMA is intended to answer some of the questions TSMA members may have about the GPSR, what it is by its very nature, what products will it cover, for whom and the supply chain it will have an impact and even more important how you as a business can prepare. What is the EU General Product Safety Regulation (“GPSR”), and why does it matter? The EU Commission defines the forthcoming GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation) as “a new key instrument in the EU product safety legal framework, replacing from December 13, 2024 onward the current General Product Safety Directive … It modernizes the general product safety framework and addresses the new challenges posed to product safety by the digitalization of our economies.” After nearly three years of intensive work on this new legislative tool, the GPSR was published in the EU’s Official Journal in May of this year. (see https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52021PC0346 ) Since it is an EU Regulation, it will directly apply from December 2024 onward in all the 27 Member States of the European Economic Area without the need to be transposed into the national laws of those countries.
