What is GPSR?

The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a new key instrument in the EU product safety legal framework, applying from 13 December 2024.

The GPSR requires that all consumer products on the EU markets are safe and it establishes specific obligations for businesses to ensure it. It applies to non-food products and to all sales channels, and it introduces stricter requirements for product safety, traceability, and accountability. These changes impact manufacturers, and marketplaces, emphasizing the need for transparency and compliance.

What does this mean?

At Only-Games, we see the GPSR not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to reinforce our commitment to safety, transparency, and trust. Here's how we plan to adapt to the new regulation:

1. Enhanced Packaging Information

We are upgrading our packaging to include the safety information required for every product sold through our marketplace. Each package will include key information about the product's integrity, and quality assurance. This ensures that every product is reliable and safe, providing consumers with the information required by the new regulations.

2. Acting as a Guarantor for Creators

As a marketplace, we understand our critical role in supporting the creators who sell their products through our platform. Under the GPSR, marketplaces are expected to ensure the safety and compliance of products offered. We are stepping up to act as a guarantor for all creators - as manufacturers, we guarantee fulfilling the GPSR requirements for your products and include the necessary information to ensure your business meets the new conditions.

Our commitment

We understand that, as these new regulations come out, we need to adapt to keep offering you the best service. If you need any further information regarding the new GPSR, please don't hesitate to contact us.
