General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR)

1994 A general duty is placed on all suppliers of consumer goods. They must supply products that are safe in normal or reasonably foreseeable use. Safety takes into account factors such as the product’s characteristics, instructions and warnings and the categories of consumers at serious risk when using the product, particularly children. Relevant British or European standards can be taken into account in assessing safety. Breaches are punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. GPSR largely replaces the general safety requirement under Consumer Protection Act 1987 (s.10).

General representative

A person resident in the UK designated as the representative of an insurance company with a head office outside the UK, who is authorised to act generally and accept the service of documents.
***

An agreement between Lloyd’s and the General Representative sets out the General Representative’s duties and responsibilities.

General revenue

Income to the supplemental medical insurance (SMI) trust fund from the general fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Only a small percentage of total SMI trust fund income each year is attributable to general revenue.

General supervision

Direction and management of a medical procedure given by the physician, but the doctor’s attendance is not necessary during the procedure (e.g., only available by telephone). Some medical procedures require general supervision to bill for a specific level of service. This level of supervision is never sufficient for meeting “incident-to” services. Also see direct supervision and personal supervision .
