What are General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR) Testing Services at Element?
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) EU/2023/988 uses the EU general product safety legal framework to address new challenges from digitalization, whilst ensuring consumer products on the EU markets are safe. The GPSR replaced the General Product Safety Directive (2001/95/EC) as of 13th December 2024.
Our testing, advisory, and Notified Body services help you comply with GPSR requirements. We guide you through safety testing, certification, and market access requirements for consumer products entering EU markets. Our expertise particularly covers digital product safety challenges and evolving marketplace requirements.
