Definition
The Product Safety Act (ProdSG) is Germany's central legal basis for the safety of non-food consumer products.
Why it matters
For the German market, the largest Amazon marketplace in Europe, the ProdSG is the most important national product safety law. Violations can result in fines up to EUR 100,000.
What you need to do
The ProdSG defines national specifics such as the GS mark and specific Product Safety Ordinances (ProdSV) for categories like electrical equipment and toys.
