Consumer safety charity Electrical Safety First is pleased to announce that its annual Electrical Product Safety Conference will be taking place on Thursday 16 October 2025, at The Mermaid, Puddle Dock, London.
The event, now in its 17th year, is sponsored by UL Standards & Engagement, and hosted in conjunction with International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organisation (ICPHSO).
The Electrical Product Safety Conference serves as a platform for experts and leaders to delve into pressing issues, offer solutions and share insights into the evolving landscape of electrical product safety.
The theme for this year’s conference, ‘Back to Basics’, highlights that in today's fast-paced technological world and complex supply chains, getting the basics right benefits both businesses and consumer safety. It will look at the core discussions, changes and challenges that directly impact and influence the work of electrical safety.
The conference will highlight challenges and best practice relating to e-mobility, considerations as we transition to sustainable product design, risks of counterfeit products and how to limit their accessibility, as well as a look at emerging problems and solutions as we progress through the later part of the second decade of the 21st century.
The line-up will include speakers from UL Standards & Engagement, Office for Product Safety and Standards, as well as leading voices in consumer protection and standards.
Attendees will also be able to sign up for the ICPHSO symposium on 14-15 October, as well as the Electrical Product Safety Conference on 16 October, to enjoy a full three days of expert speakers leading discussion on the future of product safety.
Lesley Rudd, chief executive of Electrical Safety First, said: "Our annual conference is a great platform for industry professionals and leaders to come together, share insights and drive progress in the sector. I am eager to see how the valuable discussions and collaborations that arise from this year's haping a safer future for electrical products."
