General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)

The new EU Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) comes into force on 13 December 2024. This regulation replaces the previous Directive 2001/95/EC and introduces significant changes to strengthen consumer protection and ensure the safety of products placed on the EU market. The GPSR applies to all new, used, repaired or remanufactured products and sets out specific obligations for online marketplace providers. We at Kieffer are working hard to implement the new requirements so that we can continue to offer you safe and reliable products.

For a better overview, we have organised our range according to different categories or product groups and provide you with the most important information below.
