Online Q&A

At the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), he is responsible for item safety and knows everything about the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). The GPSR contains rules for the safety of consumer items. All market participants, such as manufacturers, importers, distributors, and fulfilment service providers, must comply with these. There is also special attention for distance selling via websites, apps, and advertisements, as well as for online marketplaces. Therefore, it is very relevant for you as a partner of bol.
