Reply To: GPSR horror (argh!)

I’ve seen similar messages from a couple of the smaller scale indie companies (Statuesque, Mammoth Miniatures) too.

Broadly speaking GPSR requires adequate safety labelling on goods, which isn’t that much of a big deal, and most companies will already be following that.

But I think the sticking point is a new requirement – “A key change is the requirement to appoint an Authorised Representative, who will serve as a contact point for market surveillance authorities in case of product issues.”

Small companies aren’t sure what this requirement means in the context of selling items in the EU. I also have no idea whether EU companies are equally baffled, or that the emphasis is more on the UK companies as they are now non-EU manufacturers.
