Consumer Goods: Safety

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the cost to the economy of aligning the United Kingdom with the requirements of the European Union General Product Safety Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/988).

Answer

The UK enjoys a high level of product safety. The updated GPSR therefore largely formalises the reality of how businesses are already operating across the UK, and many UK businesses will already be going further than many of these requirements.
