GPSR
GPSR hub for Regulation (EU) 2023/988: consumer-product scope, safety obligations, economic operators, details, traceability, online marketplace duties, recalls and notifications.
This GPSR hub helps check whether a is covered by Regulation (EU) 2023/988, then connect it to the safety assessment, operator duties, traceability, and recall paths that apply.
Check your product's use, risk assessment, records, responsible EU contact, and traceability against the applicable legal requirements.
The GPSR has applied since 13 December 2024. It covers consumer products made available in the EU, including online and other distance sales directed at EU consumers, subject to express exclusions, sector-law overlap rules, and the transition for qualifying products placed on the market before that date.
Keep the internal risk analysis, technical documentation, product identifiers, manufacturer and importer contact details, responsible-person details where needed, instructions, complaint records, corrective actions, and supply-chain traceability together. Record which risks each cited standard covers: an Official Journal-referenced European standard can create a presumption of safety only for those covered risks, and authorities may still act on evidence that the product is dangerous.
Use the for dangerous-product and accident notifications, support marketplace removal or consumer-notice duties, and prepare recall notices with the mandatory GPSR elements.
Check whether the item is a , whether it is new, used, repaired or reconditioned, whether an exclusion applies, and whether sector-specific EU safety rules already cover the same risk.
Separate manufacturer, importer, distributor, authorised representative, fulfilment-service provider, and online marketplace responsibilities, including product identification and postal plus electronic contact details.
Tie internal risk analysis, technical documentation, complaint and accident records, supply-chain traceability, online offer information, notification, alerts, and recall notices to the same product model.
Use the GPSR timeline to separate the Regulation's application date from ongoing operational duties such as technical-documentation retention, traceability retention, dangerous-product notifications, accident reporting, marketplace order handling, and recall notices.
New to the GPSR? Start by deciding whether the product and sales route are covered and mapping every role. If that work is complete, jump to safety evidence, listings, marketplace operations, incident response, deadlines, enforcement, or comparisons.
Establish the product and consumer-use facts, the EU sales route, exclusions or sector-law overlap, and the role each organisation holds before assigning duties.
Turn the scope decision into a product-specific risk analysis, technical file, traceability record, controls, and review workflow.
Map manufacturer, importer, distributor and responsible-person checks, then make the required product, contact, warning, and traceability information visible in EU online offers.
Separate a marketplace provider's Article 22 systems duties from an economic operator's product duties, and operationalise authority orders, safety notices, listings, checks, and consumer contact.
Connect safety signals to immediate corrective action, notification, consumer warnings, recall notices, remedies, and effectiveness evidence.
Check the application and event-triggered clocks, understand national penalty exposure, compare adjacent EU regimes, or answer a focused implementation question.
