Information on general product safety
The EU General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR) regulates the product safety of consumer products and also covers products that are not subject to any harmonisation legislation on CE marking. Even before it came into force, the EU regulation kept many players in the supply chains busy, and we wish to make the following clear from the start:
“Product safety is the main component of GOK's corporate philosophy.
Since the company was founded in 1968, our clear objective has always been to develop, produce and supply products for the use of liquid gas and heating oil that provide maximum safety.
This is something you can rely on.”
That is why GOK already now fulfils the requirements of the GPSR.
In simple terms, the GPSR aims, among other things, to close the gap of products that are not covered by European or national regulations, directives, standards or other technical rules.
As manufacturer and distributor, GOK already implements the essential requirements of the Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988, as we predominantly manufacture products whose requirements are defined by the above regulations. These products can be recognised, for example, by a CE, DIN DVGW, DVGW or Ü marking.
Labelling and verification
GOK products are labelled in accordance with the applicable legal requirements or technical regulations - usually directly on the product. If this is not possible due to a lack of space, the labelling can be found in the installation and operating instructions or on the packaging, which are both part of the product.
Anyone wishing to obtain further information can do so, for example, by consulting our declarations of conformity, declarations of performance or manufacturer's declarations. They also describe the specific basis for verification. Where required, they are supplied with the products.
