EU Compliance

The EU's General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a new regulation designed to ensure that all consumer products sold in the EU, including those sold online, are safe. It replaces the older General Product Safety Directive and aims to protect consumers from dangerous products by introducing stricter safety standards and enforcement mechanisms.

The GPSR applies to all products not covered by specific product safety legislation and is directly applicable in all EU member states, including Northern Ireland.


In order to comply with the EU's General Product Safety Regulation, the following information can be used as a guide to ensure any items purchased from Tag & Tailor are made from high quality materials, are safe to use, and are fit for purpose.

PRODUCT USER MANUAL

HOW TO USE:

Carefully open the split ring using your finger nail, just enough that you can slide it on to the loop on your pet’s collar. You can use pliers to help you, if needed.

-

Twist the ring around until it becomes attached to the collar loop.

-

Check regularly for any damage to the split rings so that the product does not become lost.

Do not attach a pet leash to the split ring of the pet ID tag. The product is not intended to be used as a link between a pet and their leash.
