This is the safety net regulation. The GPSR applies to consumer products that are not fully covered by sector-specific law — and it keeps applying alongside that law where it leaves gaps. Being compliant with your vertical rules does not exempt you.

How it works

Three steps to a defensible file

1

Range review

We look at what you sell, which sector rules already bite, and where the GPSR fills the gaps.

2

Risk analysis & structure

We build the risk analysis and the documentation structure against your products.

You receive the file structure, the method, and the traceability and incident-response requirements that apply to you.

What changed on 13 December 2024

The General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 replaced the old General Product Safety Directive and has applied since 13 December 2024. Two things make it different from what came before: it is a regulation, so it applies directly and identically in every member state, and it puts the burden of documentary proof squarely on you.

The core obligation is in Article 9: before placing a product on the market you must carry out an internal risk analysis and hold technical documentation demonstrating that the product is safe. There is no filing, no approval, no certificate. There is only the file — and the day an authority or an online marketplace asks to see it.

What this service delivers

  • A documentation structure mapped to Article 9 and Annex II, populated against your product range rather than handed over as a blank template.
  • A risk-analysis method — hazard identification, foreseeable use and misuse, exposure, severity, and the mitigations you rely on — that you can repeat yourself for each new product.
  • Traceability requirements — product identifiers, batch or serial marking, and the economic-operator details that must appear on the product or its packaging.
  • The responsible economic operator requirement: who it has to be, what they are on the hook for, and how it interacts with appointments you may already have.
  • Marketplace listing duties — the information a listing must display before a consumer buys, which is where most platform takedowns originate.
  • Incident duties — when a safety issue must be notified through Safety Gate, what a corrective action looks like, and how a recall notice has to be worded and delivered.

Who tends to need this

Manufacturers, importers and distributors placing consumer products on the EU market. In practice the most common trigger is an online marketplace writing to a seller and asking them to evidence GPSR compliance, with delisting as the alternative.

Why buy guidance rather than a template

  • Templates do not survive contact with an authority. The GPSR asks for a risk analysis of your product. A generic document with your logo on it is the thing that fails.
  • Repeatable — you get a method, so the second product costs you time rather than another engagement.
  • Written for your range — scoped against what you actually sell, including where a sector regulation already covers part of it.
  • Marketplace-facing — structured so you can answer a platform compliance request directly.
Scope. This is a guidance and documentation-structuring service. It does not replace conformity assessment where your product also falls under a harmonised directive requiring CE marking, notified-body involvement or a Declaration of Conformity. Where that applies to you, we will say so.
Cosmetics are comprehensively covered by Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, so the GPSR largely does not add to your cosmetic safety obligations. It can still reach the non-cosmetic articles many cosmetic brands sell alongside them — applicators, brushes, devices, gift sets. Tell us your range and we will scope it honestly.
No, and be wary of anyone offering one. The GPSR has no approval or certification step. The obligation is to hold documentation and produce it on request, which is exactly what this service builds.
Yes. Platform requests generally ask for the responsible economic operator details, the required listing information, and confirmation that a risk analysis and technical documentation exist. This service produces all of it.
The GPSR requires an economic operator established in the EU to be responsible for certain tasks for your product. If you are outside the EU you cannot place a product on the market without one. We explain the requirement and how it relates to any EU Responsible Person you already have for cosmetics — the two roles are not the same.
The published price covers guidance and documentation structuring for a defined product range. If your range is unusually broad or spans several sector regulations, we will tell you before starting rather than after.
We build the structure and the risk analysis against your products, and populate it with what you provide. You keep the file — the regulation requires the economic operator to hold it, not a consultant.

Selling something classified as hazardous?

If any of your range is a hazardous mixture, GPSR documentation is not enough on its own — CLP classification, labelling and poison centre notification apply too.
