Contribution by Dr Andreas Eustacchio to the AUSTRIAN Handbook ‘Compliance in the Supply Chain’ (2024) by MANZ publishing house
I am pleased to be represented in the MANZ Handbook ‘Compliance in the Supply Chain’ (2024) with a chapter and a commentary on the new EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR-2023/988, in force from 13 December 2024) and on the new EU Product Liability Directive 2024/2853.
On 25 and 26 March 2025, I will be speaking about the new EU Product Liability Directive at the ONLINE seminar on two half-days, organised by ICC (International Chamber of Commerce, Vienna).
The NEW EU Product Liability Directive 2024/2853 has been official since 18 November 2024! It will replace the current one from 1985 and must be implemented in all EU member states by 9 December 2026. Smart products, software, digitalisation and systems with artificial intelligence (AI) are new additions. And many new economic actors, as well as online trade, will be covered by strict product liability.
Are you interested in a seminar for your company? This topic could be of interest to you.
On 17 June 2025, you can see me in person in Vienna at my lecture on the new EU Product Liability Directive.
