The new rules seek to address major societal changes that have affected consumer product safety in the past two decades, such as increasing digitalisation, new technological developments, and globalised supply chains. This modernised framework will ensure that only safe products are offered to consumers, regardless of the origin of the products and whether they are sold in shops or on online marketplaces.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Commission is announcing today its call for applications for the 2023 edition of the EU Product Safety Award. This competition brings together successful and talented businesses and researchers, who want to make a difference for the safety of consumers. This year, the EU Product Safety Award focuses on businesses that innovate and invest to improve the safety of young people.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>New EU general product safety rules<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The objective of the new General Product Safety Regulation is to ensure that all consumer products on the EU market are safe. It applies to non-food products, be they sold offline or online. The Regulation provides for a real safety net for consumers adressing safety of products or risks not regulated in other EU legislation, more specifically by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0key elements such as the evolving nature of a product or its interconnectivity in the safety assessment of consumer products;<\/li>\n<li>improving the conditions for product safety between online and offline sales<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0establishing specific product safety requirements for online marketplaces to protect consumers against dangerous products sold via online marketplaces;<\/li>\n<li>extending the obligation for all non-harmonised products imported to the EU to have an economic operator in the EU responsible for the product safety issues;<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0providing national authorities with necessary tools, thus stepping up their enforcement powers;<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0ensuring effective product recalls by requiring direct contacts of consumers and standardised recall notices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Call for application for the 2023 Product Safety Award<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 2023 EU Product Safety Award focuses on businesses that innovate and invest to improve the safety of young people. For the first time, researchers may also take part in the competition. The categories of the Product Safety Award include distinctions for both small and medium-sized enterprises and large companies, as well as for early-career and senior researchers. Applications are open until 8 September 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/ip_23_3190\">European Commission<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/stronger-eu-product-safety-rules-enter-into-force-today\/\">Stronger EU product safety rules enter into force today<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[274,490,520,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-114876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-eu","tag-product","tag-safety","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114876"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114876\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
