We are actively working to ensure that all our products comply with the new EU regulation GPSR – General Product Safety Regulation (EU 2023/988), which will be fully applicable as of 13 December 2024.
All new products added to our inventory go through a thorough check to meet GPSR requirements for safety, traceability, and labeling. Each product is marked with clear information about the manufacturer, batch number, and relevant safety instructions in accordance with legal guidelines.
For products delivered before the regulation took effect, we have carried out a review to ensure a high level of safety. In some cases, these products may lack certain formal markings required by the new regulation, but we are closely monitoring and updating the information as needed.
If you have any questions about a specific product, you are always welcome to contact us – we’re happy to provide clear information and guidance.
