The Agreement on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products (ACAA) is an intermediary step for Ukraine to benefit from the mutual recognition of product quality between the EU and Ukraine until our country becomes a full EU Member State. The ACAA covers 27 groups of industrial goods/technical regulations. Ukraine’s ACAA implementation plan was sequenced in priority sectors to allow a step-by-step sectoral implementation of the ACAA.

On 13 December 2024, the new “Regulation (EU) 2023/988 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 May 2023 on General Product Safety” (“GPSR”) came into force.
The GPSR repeals the General Product Safety Directive (2001) and introduces an updated regime to ensure product safety in light of evolving technologies and means of trade. As a regulation, the GPSR is directly applicable to all EU member states without the need for national transpositions.
