Recent updates to general EU product and chemicals regulations bring significant changes aimed at enhancing safety, transparency, and accountability. Significant legislative changes include the new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), the Amending CLP Regulation, and the Product Liability Directive (PLD).
