Product safety

In accordance with the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), we ensure that our books and publications meet the highest safety requirements.

Our product safety program

Risk evaluation and documentation

We carry out a thorough risk assessment for each of our products. In doing so, we identify and document potential hazards in a technical file that is archived for at least 10 years. We provide this documentation to the relevant market surveillance authorities upon request.

Analysis of hazards and safety-related properties

Books and poster prints without additives or additional functions usually do not pose a risk to consumers. According to Article 9, Paragraph 7 of the GPSR, they are therefore exempt from the requirement to provide additional safety information. We also consider the risk to be minimal for older publications without any special safety-related properties. However, should you have any questions about a product, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Transparency and traceability

Every printed product is provided with unique identification and tracking information, such as ISBN, edition and print batch. This enables us to trace the production source of each title and react quickly if necessary.

Safety information

According to Article 9, Section 7 of the GPSR, no additional safety information is required for books and poster prints without additions or special functions. However, if a printed product contains additions that require special precautions, these are indicated clearly and in an easily understandable way.
