The General Product Safety Regulations 2005 (GPSR ) transpose Directive 2001/95/EC on general product safety into UK law. They replace the General Product Safety Regulations 1994 and further strengthen the legislative framework covering consumer product safety. These Regulations clarify and add to existing obligations on producers and distributors to only place safe consumer products on the market. They strengthen the powers available to enforcement authorities to police this 'general safety requirement’.
