VELUX Product Safety and Compliance

At VELUX, your safety is our top priority. We are dedicated to providing products that meet the highest safety standards and comply with all relevant regulations. This commitment is reflected in our strict adherence to the European Union's General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR).

Understanding the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)

The GPSR is a comprehensive framework designed to ensure that all products on the EU market are safe for consumers. It requires businesses to:

· Ensure Product Safety: All products must be safe under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use.

· Provide Adequate Information: Consumers must have the necessary information to assess risks associated with a product.

· Implement Traceability Measures: Products should have batch or serial numbers for effective tracking.

· Facilitate Recalls: Efficient systems must be in place to withdraw unsafe products from the market.

Batch and Serial Number Traceability

To enhance safety and quality control:

· Identification: Each product has a batch or serial number printed on the product or its packaging.

· Traceability: These numbers allow us to trace the product's history and manage inventory effectively.

· Recall Efficiency: In the unlikely event of a recall, these identifiers enable us to quickly inform affected customers.

Identifying Your Product's Batch or Serial Number

To locate your product's batch or serial number:

· On the Product: Check the bottom or back of the product for a sticker or engraving.

· On the Packaging: Look for a label near the barcode.
