Session 1: The Essentials of the GPSR: What It Means for Chemicals in Articles and Product Compliance
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is in force since 13 December 2024 and updates significantly the consumer protection and product safety regime across the EU. Replacing the former General Product Safety Directive, the GPSR sets new and stronger requirements for all consumer products; including those originally designed for professional use that may reach the consumer market.

During this session, our expert will cover:
- GSPR in a Nutshell: What’s new compared to the old Directive

- Chemicals in articles: What GPSR expects and interplay with REACH, CLP and other Chemical legislation
- Key requirements and deadlines
