UKFT has updated two key member guides to provide further clarity and support for UK fashion and textile businesses navigating the EU GPSR.

1. UKFT Guide to the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)

The UKFT Guide to the EU GPSR has been updated to reflect the latest changes and requirements in the regulation. As the EU continues to enhance product safety standards, this updated guide will ensure that businesses can comply with the most recent legislative changes. The updated guide includes:

• Key updates on product safety obligations under the EU GPSR.
• Exemptions and key information within the regulation specifically relevant to our sector.
• A clearer process for assessing risks associated with products and ensuring that safety measures are in place.

This is an essential resource for businesses looking to stay compliant with the evolving EU regulations.

2. Updated technical files and risk assessment guide

The Technical Files and Risk Assessment Guide has also been updated to help businesses better understand and prepare the necessary documentation for product safety and compliance in both the UK and EU markets. The update includes:

• A step-by-step approach for creating and maintaining technical files for your products.
• Guidelines for performing thorough risk assessments to ensure your products meet safety standards and regulatory requirements.
• Practical advice on documenting product safety in a way that can be easily reviewed by authorities if needed.

This updated guide is invaluable for businesses looking to ensure their products meet both safety and regulatory requirements, particularly when it comes to exports and market access.
