Understand product safety, meet legal requirements, and bring products to the EU market in compliance with the law.

What regulations apply to your product? When is CE marking required? And what obligations arise from the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)?

Anyone who develops, manufactures, imports, or distributes products must comply with numerous legal requirements. In this seminar, you’ll learn what matters most and how to implement product safety requirements in a systematic and practical way.

Here's what you can expect from the seminar:

  • Legal Foundations: Which EU directives, regulations, and standards apply to your product? What do the CE marking and the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) cover?
  • Obligations and Responsibilities: What must manufacturers, importers, and distributors keep in mind?
  • Steps toward product compliance: How do you implement the legal requirements, and when is CE marking required?
  • Technical Documentation and Risk Analysis: What documentation is required, and how are risks systematically identified and assessed?
  • Product labeling and market surveillance: Legal labeling requirements, market surveillance requirements, and product monitoring obligations.
  • Practical Application and Implementation: A step-by-step guide to creating your own technical documentation and risk analysis—with clear examples and time for individual questions.

Practical examples and concrete tools will help you apply the knowledge you’ve gained to your own products and business processes.

After the seminar, you will be able to...

  • better understand the EU product safety regulations relevant to your products.
  • identify your obligations as a manufacturer, importer, or distributor.
  • systematically plan the necessary steps to ensure product compliance.
  • research relevant standards and understand the requirements for technical documentation.
  • conduct initial risk analyses on your own.

In addition, you’ll receive a digital tool for creating risk analyses that will support you in the practical implementation.
