Everything Dinosaur team members have been busy translating 14+ product safety information into different languages. These translations are part of our on-going commitment to assist our customers overseas. In addition, under the recently introduced General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), we understand that it is a role of the manufacturer to ensure that all safety information is in a language that the consumer can read. In the case of the European Union there are twenty-four official languages.
As an importer, it is our role to ensure all safety information is in the correct language. If the manufacturer does not do this, then, we as the importer can provide the translations and put them into any parcels that we despatch to our customers in those countries covered by GPSR.
Consumers affected by this new regulation are those that reside in countries in the European Union (EU) and Northern Ireland. In addition, the three countries in the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) are also included.
Helpful 14+ Product Safety Information Translated
A large number of the prehistoric animal figures that we supply have a 14+ age restriction. To assist our customers, we have provided a translation of an appropriate safety warning concerning these models in the twenty-four official languages of the European Union.
The phrase we have translated is:
“Warning! Detailed scale model intended for collectors age 14 years and above. May contain small pieces, sharp edges and points. 14+ (A display piece, not a dinosaur toy).
As part of Everything Dinosaur’s compliance with the EU General Product Safety Regulation 2033/988 safety information has to be translated into the twenty-four official languages of the European Union.

Everything Dinosaur Providing Translations
A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur explained that many manufacturers based outside the European Union were unfamiliar with the new regulation. As an importer, Everything Dinosaur works closely with factories and manufacturers. The company provides assistance and support and does what it can to help with compliance.
The spokesperson added:
“We have translated standard 14+ product safety information into the twenty-four official languages of the European Union. This information will be included in the parcels we despatch to customers in the EU, the EEA as well as Northern Ireland.”
