Reply To: GPSR horror (argh!)

I’m by no means an expert in legalese but this:

“For clarity, this is the part of the GPSR amendment that as I understand it has people worried.

Responsible person. Manufacturers that are not based in the EU must establish an operator within the EU that is responsible for compliance with the GPSR, and they should be identified on the product or its packaging. Their role will include being the point of contact for supervisory authorities enforcing GPSR obligations and conducting compliance checks of the product’s documentation and safety information.”

Sounds very much like companies – even small companies – inside the EU are not going to be significantly impacted. If they’re operating a safe business, they’ve nothing to worry about. The bureaucratic (and costly) impact is for small businesses outside the EU who want to sell into the EU.

One of the companies mentioned above (I forget which one, but this was from a post on Instagram) said that the UK was going to be introducing a similar law in the near future.
