General Product Safety Directive Testing

Covering consumer products, the General Product Safety Directive (2001/95/EC) exists to ensure that every product on the market in the European market is safe. It is a 'catch-all' directive to provide consumers with confidence that they will not come to harm using unsafe products.

Element’ssafety testing services可以提供制造商需要满足普通产品安全指令（GPSD）的安全要求的所有服务。与许多产品指令不同，GPSD不需要使用CE标记，但使用许多相同的原则来证明合规性，例如使用统一标准。
