Frequently asked questions
What is the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)?
The GPSR is a comprehensive EU regulation taking effect in late 2024 that establishes strict safety, traceability, and labeling requirements for all non-food consumer products sold offline and online in the EU.
Do I need an EU Responsible Person if I manufacture outside the EU?
Yes. Under the GPSR, any company selling products to EU consumers must appoint an economic operator established within the EU to handle compliance and safety communication.
What traceability information must be on the product?
Products must bear a type, batch, or serial number. If the product is too small, this information must be provided on its packaging or in a document accompanying the product.
Does GPSR apply to products sold on platforms like Amazon and Etsy?
Absolutely. The GPSR explicitly requires online marketplaces to verify that sellers have provided the necessary manufacturer, economic operator, and product safety information before a listing can go live.
