GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation)
Category: Compliance
Also searched as: GPSR
Definition (plain English)
The EU General Product Safety Regulation setting safety, traceability, online-marketplace, recall, and responsible-person duties for many consumer products.
Why it matters commercially
GPSR readiness affects whether an importer can place goods on the EU market, respond to incidents, and prove traceability if a retailer or authority asks.
Example
A buyer asked for the EU responsible-person details, product risk assessment, batch traceability, and recall contact before listing a consumer product.
Common mistake
Assuming supplier test reports alone satisfy GPSR without checking traceability, responsible operator details, warnings, and corrective-action process.
