Revision of the General Product Safety Directive
30 May 2010
The European Commission has launched a consultation on the revision of the General Product Safety Directive (2001/95/EC). http//eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32001L0095:en:NOT
The aim of the consultation is to improve the current system in order to deliver more rapidly, efficiently and consistently throughout the EU and which is in the same time flexible enough to adapt to the challenges of globalisation. The consultation focuses on different issues:
on the standardisation procedures under the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD)
on the harmonisation of diverging safety evaluations of consumer products.
on market surveillance framework in the product safety area
on the market surveillance coordination and cooperation, on the functioning of the Rapid Alert System for non-food products (RAPEX) and on the market surveillance of the safety of products sold on the Internet
on the alignment with the Free Movement of Products Package
