Scott, There is no Declaration required for the GPSD, so the question does not arise.
Charlie is correct that the GPSD is a catch-all which applies where other safety directives such as those which require CE marking do not, but it’s probably also worth making two other points: 1. The GPSD gives enforcement officers powers relating to product problems and recalls which they do not have under the CE marking Directives. These powers extend to products covered by the CE Directves. 2. The GPSD is not a single market directive so Member States are free to introduce national requirements for products which it covers.
