Thanks Ted,
As I read your comments and take they into an example - . consider a
professional electronic product, which can't be bought or even used by
consumers, will not under any circumstances be covered by GPSD/GPSR. Right?
And if product is low powered (not within LVD), then maybe only EMC apply.
Then the product could be put on the market without any safety related tests
.. Is that correct?

Hello Amund,
The GPSR has these definitions. I recommend you use them as the basis to
determine if you are providing "consumer products" as covered by the scope
of the GPSR.
"'product' means any item, whether or not it is interconnected to other
items, supplied or made available, whether for consideration or not,
including in the context of providing a service, which is intended for
consumers or is likely, under reasonably foreseeable conditions, to be used
by consumers even if not intended for them".
"'consumer' means any natural person who acts for purposes which are outside
that person's trade, bushiness, craft or profession".
There is no clear line drawn between consumer and professional equipment,
and the GPSR is intended to cover professional equipment that is likely to
be purchased for personal use by some consumers. Products that fall into
this grey area may need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. I would
recommend that if you determine a product is not within the scope, your
technical file include a clear explanation of why it is out of scope.
Best regard,
Ted Eckert

General Product Safety Directive ... Do I interpret correct that GPSD only
apply to consumer products? Not for any professional products?
And the new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) do the same?
