The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) EU 2023/988 repeals the former Directive 2001/95/EC and lays down essential rules on the safety of consumer products placed or made available on the EU market.

The GPSR does not affect cosmetic products, except for additional information requirements for online sales. Cosmetic products remain primarily regulated by the Cosmetic Products Regulation (CPR).

The GPSR applies from December 13, 2024.

One of the objectives of the GPSR is to improve traceability and the communication of safety-related consumer information of products sold over the internet in the EU.

Electronic address of EU Responsible Person

Article 19 of the GPSR requires that all safety-related information that is normally presented to consumers on the product packaging (e.g. ingredients list, warnings and precautions, instructions for safe use, etc.), is also available on the website where the product is sold.

The warnings, precautions and instructions for safe use must be provided in the official languages of the EU member state where the consumer is located.

Additionally, GPSR article 19 requires that next to the physical address of the RP also the electronic address of the RP (website or e-mail) is presented on the website where the product is sold.

Meeting this requirement – e-commerce platforms

• Forward this url professionalbyfama.com/gpsr down the supply-chain.
• Ensure that this url is included on all e-commerce platform(s) in addition to the safety-related information where your products are sold online and where Professional by Fama is the EU RP.
• Communicate all safety-related information.
• Upload clearly legible product pictures on the e-commerce platforms.

If this is not the case, the information must be included separately or additionally on the web page where the product is sold.
