# GPSR vs DSA marketplace duties for dangerous products

Compare GPSR marketplace duties with the DSA touchpoints referenced by GPSR Article 22 for product listings, takedown, recalls, incidents, and evidence.

*Comparison* *EU GPSR*

## GPSR vs DSA marketplaces Dangerous-product duties

GPSR Article 22 adds product-safety duties for online marketplaces and ties several of them to DSA mechanisms, including orders, notices, trader information, repeated non-compliance, and product-safety information in listings.

Use this comparison to separate the GPSR product-safety file from the DSA marketplace workflow, especially for dangerous products, online-interface takedown, listing data, recalls, accident reports, and evidence.

GPSR marketplace work is not a generic DSA checklist. For dangerous consumer products, GPSR Article 22 supplies the product-safety duties and points to selected DSA mechanisms that marketplaces must use or respect. Keep the comparison narrow: product listings, online-interface orders, product-safety notices, trader information, repeated non-compliant traders, recalls, consumer warnings, incident notifications, and the evidence needed to prove each step.

## GPSR vs DSA marketplaces: dangerous-product comparison

A source-limited comparison of GPSR marketplace duties and the DSA mechanisms that GPSR Article 22 references for dangerous products offered online.

- **GPSR**: GPSR controls the consumer-product safety question: whether a product is safe, dangerous, recalled, withdrawn, subject to a safety warning, or reportable through Safety Business Gateway or Safety Gate workflows.
- **DSA marketplace touchpoints**: The DSA side is limited here to the mechanisms GPSR Article 22 references for marketplaces: contact points, orders, notices, listing information, trader self-certification, and suspension of frequent non-compliant traders.

| Dimension | GPSR | DSA marketplace touchpoints | Operational implication | Sources |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Scope boundary | GPSR asks whether a consumer product made available on the EU market is safe, dangerous, non-compliant, recalled, withdrawn, or subject to a safety warning or accident report. | The DSA-referenced marketplace question is narrower: whether the online platform process for product-safety orders, notices, listing information, trader commitments, or repeated non-compliance has been triggered. | Open the case under GPSR when the fact pattern is a product-safety risk; add the DSA-referenced marketplace track only for the platform process that handles the offer. | [Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02023R0988-20230523&ref=sorena.io) - Supports separating the product-safety determination from the marketplace process that handles the online offer. |
| Covered actors | GPSR gives market-surveillance authorities a product-safety route to require removal of content for an offer of a dangerous product, disabling access to it, or displaying an explicit warning. | The DSA touchpoint is procedural: GPSR says those marketplace orders must meet the minimum conditions for orders under DSA Article 9(2). | For every takedown, disablement, or warning action, retain both the product-safety basis and the order or notice process record. | [Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02023R0988-20230523&ref=sorena.io) - Article 22(4) ties GPSR online-interface orders to the minimum conditions set out in DSA Article 9(2).<br>[Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/3173 on Safety Gate notifications](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2024/3173/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Supports retaining offer URL, unique identifier, marketplace provider name, corrective measure, and recall link evidence. |
| Trigger | GPSR requires marketplace interfaces to let traders provide specified product-safety information for each offered product and to display it or make it easily accessible to consumers on the listing. | The DSA touchpoint is that GPSR frames this as product-safety compliance with DSA Article 31(1) and (2), plus trader self-certification under DSA Article 30(1) where applicable. | Listing QA should test product-safety fields, trader information, product identifiers, warnings, and displayed accessibility before the listing goes live. | [Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02023R0988-20230523&ref=sorena.io) - Article 22(9) and 22(10) connect GPSR listing information to DSA Article 31 and trader self-certification to DSA Article 30(1), where applicable.<br>[Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/3173 on Safety Gate notifications](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2024/3173/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Supports retaining listing-level identifiers and traceability evidence where products are or have been sold online. |
| Core obligations | GPSR says marketplace providers must process notices related to product-safety issues for products offered online without undue delay and in any event within three working days of receipt. | The DSA touchpoint is the notice channel: GPSR identifies notices received in accordance with DSA Article 16, but the deadline stated here comes from GPSR Article 22(8). | Notice logs should separate receipt time, DSA notice-channel metadata, product-safety triage, marketplace action, trader outreach, and final disposition. | [Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02023R0988-20230523&ref=sorena.io) - Supports recording the notice receipt, product-safety issue, and timely marketplace processing action. |
| Evidence record | GPSR evidence can include accident information, dangerous-product notifications, Safety Business Gateway submissions, Safety Gate follow-up, and corrective measures such as withdrawal, recall, or online-content removal. | The DSA-referenced marketplace evidence is the platform trail around the offer: listing identifiers, provider name, notices, orders, removals, warnings, trader suspension, and consumer communications. | Do not rely on a takedown ticket alone. Pair it with product-risk evidence, accident or incident facts, notification status, and recall or corrective-action records. | [Safety Business Gateway](https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/safety-business-gateway/?ref=sorena.io) - Grounds the business notification route for dangerous products and accidents under the GPSR workflow.<br>[Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/3173 on Safety Gate notifications](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2024/3173/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Supports tying the marketplace trail to risk and corrective-action evidence rather than treating removal as the whole file.<br>[Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02023R0988-20230523&ref=sorena.io) - Article 22 grounds marketplace records for product-safety notices, orders, listings, trader suspension, recalls, and consumer safety warnings. |
| Timing and deadlines | GPSR requires affected consumers who can be identified to be notified directly and without undue delay in product safety recalls or safety warnings, including marketplace-provider duties under Article 22(12). | The DSA touchpoint does not supersede the GPSR recall file. The marketplace record should show how the platform used buyer data, listing records, and consumer-contact paths to support the GPSR recall or safety warning. | Keep recall notice content, direct-consumer notification evidence, remedy information, listing history, and marketplace customer-data decisions in the same case record. | [Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02023R0988-20230523&ref=sorena.io) - Article 22(12) grounds marketplace-provider cooperation with recall and safety-warning communication; no broader DSA recall duty is asserted here.<br>[Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1435 on recall notices](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2024/1435/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Supports retaining recall notice content, hazard description, consumer instructions, remedies, and contact details. |
| Enforcement | GPSR identifies repeated offers of non-compliant products as a product-safety issue that can require marketplace service suspension for the trader after prior warning and for a reasonable period. | The DSA touchpoint is limited to the product-safety implementation of DSA Article 23 that GPSR Article 22(11) invokes. | Build a trader history file with warnings, non-compliant listings, evidence of repeat conduct, suspension decision, duration, and reinstatement criteria. | [Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02023R0988-20230523&ref=sorena.io) - Supports retaining warning, suspension, duration, and repeated-non-compliance evidence for marketplace governance. |
| Overlap and reuse | GPSR and the DSA-referenced marketplace rules often use the same listing, notice, trader, and order record, so the file should avoid splitting one incident into two disconnected evidence sets. | The DSA references in GPSR Article 22 are only there to run the marketplace process around a product-safety problem, not to turn the matter into a full DSA compliance review. | Reuse shared evidence once, but tag it for the product-safety finding and the marketplace action separately so the record stays tight and readable. | [Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02023R0988-20230523&ref=sorena.io) - Supports separating the product-safety determination from the marketplace process that handles the online offer. |
| Practical decision rule | If the immediate question is whether the product is safe, dangerous, recalled, or reportable, anchor the case in GPSR and treat the marketplace steps as support work. | If the immediate question is how the platform should process the listing, notice, order, or trader account, apply the GPSR Article 22 marketplace track but keep the scope on product safety. | Start with the product-safety question, then add only the marketplace steps that GPSR Article 22 specifically requires for that same incident. | [Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02023R0988-20230523&ref=sorena.io) - GPSR Article 22 references selected DSA mechanisms for the marketplace process around product safety.<br>[Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/3173 on Safety Gate notifications](https://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2024/3173/oj?ref=sorena.io) - Supports keeping dangerous-product, accident, traceability, corrective-action, and online-offer evidence attached to the GPSR case. |

### How should teams decide which duty owns the next action?

- If the question is whether the product is dangerous, recalled, reportable, or safe to keep available, treat GPSR as the controlling track.
- If the next step is a product-safety order, notice, listing-field fix, trader self-certification, or repeated non-compliant trader action, run the GPSR Article 22 marketplace track and keep the DSA reference narrow.
- If the issue goes beyond product safety into general DSA governance, recommender systems, ads, systemic risk, or transparency reporting, do not expand this GPSR comparison without DSA-specific grounding.

## Where GPSR and DSA marketplace duties actually meet

The GPSR starts from consumer product safety: only safe products may be made available on the EU market, and providers of online marketplaces have specific product-safety duties when products are offered through their services.

The DSA side should stay source-limited on this page. The GPSR grounding supports DSA references where Article 22 points to DSA contact points, order conditions, notice handling, product-safety information for listings, trader self-certification, and suspension of traders that frequently offer non-compliant products. It does not support a full DSA platform-compliance comparison.

- Use GPSR for the product-safety judgment: dangerous product, risk information, corrective action, recall, safety warning, Safety Business Gateway, and Safety Gate Portal evidence.
- Use the DSA references only where GPSR Article 22 invokes them for online marketplace operation: orders, notices, listing information, trader traceability, and repeated non-compliance.
- Keep one evidence index, but tag every record as GPSR-only, DSA-referenced-by-GPSR, or shared because the same listing, notice, or trader record supports both.

## Evidence to keep when a marketplace listing becomes a product-safety issue

For a dangerous-product matter, the useful file is not a broad policy folder. It should show the product identifier, offer URL, unique listing identifier where available, trader or marketplace information, risk basis, notice or order received, content action taken, consumer communication, recall notice, accident information, and any Safety Business Gateway or Safety Gate follow-up.

GPSR records should also show why the product was treated as dangerous or non-compliant. The delegated Safety Gate rules reference product identification, traceability information, offer URL and unique identifier, marketplace provider name, risk description, accidents or incidents, corrective measures, and links to recall notices where available.

- Capture screenshots or exports of the online interface before and after removal, disabling, warning display, or listing correction.
- Keep the notice, order, trader communication, internal triage note, product-risk evidence, and timestamped action log together.
- When recall or safety-warning duties are triggered, retain the direct-consumer notification plan, recall notice text, remedies offered, and any customer-data use decision.

The GPSR track decides whether the consumer product is dangerous or non-compliant, what corrective action is needed, whether consumers must be warned or recalled, and whether Safety Business Gateway or Safety Gate records are needed. The marketplace track implements the online-interface action and preserves the listing, notice, order, trader, and consumer-notification evidence.

Do not generalize beyond the grounded DSA references. If the question is recommender-system transparency, advertising, systemic risk, or full DSA governance, this GPSR file is not enough; use a DSA-specific source set before adding those claims.

- For listings: require product-safety and traceability fields that GPSR Article 22 says marketplaces must enable and display or make easily accessible to consumers.
- For takedown: record whether the action came from a market-surveillance order, a notice concerning product-safety issues, actual knowledge, voluntary removal, or a recall/withdrawal decision.
- For recalls and accidents: keep product identification, hazard, consumer action, remedy, marketplace notification, Safety Business Gateway submission, and any follow-up authority communication in one case record.
