2026 International Symposium

The concept of a global baseline for product safety has long been discussed, but recent developments are making it feel more real than ever. The UN Principles for Consumer Product Safety, the EU's General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), Digital Product Passports (DPP), and the U.S. CPSC e-Filing mandate all point toward a new era of connected product safety governance.

But are these systems truly converging? Or are businesses simply managing a growing set of interconnected yet still fragmented regulatory obligations?

Through interactive discussion and live audience polling, this session brings together regulators, industry practitioners, and technical experts to move beyond regulatory summaries and focus on what implementation actually looks like. The discussion will explore how product data, digital compliance systems, supply-chain traceability, and post-market surveillance are reshaping global product safety and whether they are moving us toward a truly connected compliance ecosystem.
