Safety & Compliance

I am currently working towards becoming GPSR compliant.

I have appointed an EU Authorised Representative and over the next few weeks I will be working with them to put everything into place.

GPSR (The General Product Safety Regulations) applies to products being sold to the EU and Northern Ireland. It has been introduced to mop up any products not already covered by other legislation. It applies to any products produced and added to the market after the 13th December 2024. As I have a lot of products already in stock it won’t apply to me for a while until I exhaust my stock levels.

As I gather my info and documentation I will post it on this page.

Wallpaper

My wallpaper is covered by the Construction Product Regulations so it doesn't fall under the scope of GPSR but for the purpose of traceability it is manufactured by Anstey Wallpaper in Loughborough, UK and their declaration of performance (DOP) can be seen here.

All my wallpaper carries the CE and UKCA mark on its labelling. 

Lamps

The cables that I use in my lamps are covered by the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) which covers the safety of electronic devices so they are also outside of the scope of GPSR.

I source the cables from a trusted site with many years in the business, Inlico based in Birmingham, UK and they are wired up by Malcolm Gregory of R&S Lighting who has over 40 years experience in this industry.

Traceability info can be found here and ASTA certificate. Info about the following components can be found here.

I source my laminating pouches from Vivid Lamination. The safety data file for the pouches can be seen here.
