Understanding obligations under the EU GPSR for UK fashion and textiles

09/12/2024

Do you understand your obligations under the EU GPSR (General Product Safety Regulations) and are you ready?

UKFT has prepared member guides and support resources on the EU GPSR specifically applied to fashion and textiles businesses. The regulation becomes effective on 13 December 2024 replacing the current EU General Product Safety Directive (GPSD).

UKFT EU GPSR guidance lists your extra obligations (on top of the EU GPSD) that you will need in place on 13 December if you place goods on the market to consumers in the EU.

To receive your member-only guides and resources, please email ava.kenny-colwell@ukft.org. Further one-to-one business support to apply these obligations to your business and ensure your labelling meets the requirements is also available.

If you are not a UKFT member but would like advice, please contact info@ukft.org to discuss membership options.
