VELUX Product Safety and Compliance
At VELUX, your safety is our highest priority. We are dedicated to delivering products that meet the highest safety standards and comply with all relevant legislation. This commitment is reflected in our strict adherence to the EU’s General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR).
What is the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)?
GPSR is a comprehensive framework designed to ensure that all products on the EU market are safe for consumers. It requires companies to:
- Ensure Product Safety: All products must be safe under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use.
- Provide Sufficient Information: Consumers must have the necessary information to assess the risks associated with a product.
- Implement Traceability Measures: Products must have batch or serial numbers for effective tracking.
- Enable Recalls: Effective systems must be in place to withdraw unsafe products from the market.
For more detailed information, you can find the full guidance on the European Commission’s website here: European Commission - General Product Safety Regulation
