The GPSR Certification Process in Five Steps

  1. Submit Your Product Details

    Send your product details, including description and photos, current artwork, bill of materials, pre-existing test reports, safety data sheets, certificates, and conformity declarations. We verify completeness, pinpoint any gaps, and organize the dossier so your documentation is clear, consistent, and ready for review.

  2. Consultation & Compliance Roadmap

    We review your SKUs, group similar products by material and functionality to make the certification process as efficient as possible, and confirm scope, timing, and pricing.

  3. Risk Assessment, Technical File, Labelling, Traceability, and Certification

    We conduct a comprehensive risk assessment for intended use and foreseeable misuse and assemble your technical file (which includes the risk analysis and other compliance-related documents such as test reports, SDS, BOM, and a Declaration of Conformity). We align labels with the risk assessment and provide ready-to-use templates with EU Responsible Person details, including our EU address in Germany. Finally, we issue your GPSR certificate, which satisfies marketplace listing checks and market authority requests.

  4. Marketplace Submission and Reviews

    We prepare the platform-specific documentation for Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and others (EU RP details, risk assessment, product label, and complete compliance documents). We support listing approvals and help you fulfill all platform requirements for EU sales.

  5. Post-Market Support

    We’re on hand for market authority inquiries, marketplace checks, and regulatory updates, keeping your products compliant.

What’s Included in Your Certification

Our GPSR certification package gives you a clear, structured path to meet EU safety requirements and marketplace expectations.

  1. Initial Setup and Representation

    Authorised Representative Appointment

    Registered EU Address

  2. Compliance Assessment and Planning

    Identification of Applicable EU Requirements

    • We determine the relevant EU safety standards and labelling requirements based on category, materials, and intended use.
    • Then we set a clear compliance plan so you meet legal requirements before sale (see our GPSR Requirements guide).

    Product Risk Assessment and Regulatory Consulting

    • We conduct a written risk assessment covering intended use and foreseeable misuse.
    • We map hazards, rate severity and likelihood, then rank risks. Findings feed directly into warnings, user instructions, and your technical file so everything is consistent.
    • We recommend practical risk reductions (design changes, labelling, targeted testing) and record the residual risk for ongoing compliance.

       

  3. Documentation and Labelling

    Technical Documentation Management

    Product Traceability and Labelling Guidance

    • We align labelling with the findings in the risk assessment.
    • We specify required elements, including:

    GPSR Certification

    • We issue a GPSR certificate together with our EU Responsible Person details, which you can share with online marketplaces and EU market authorities.
    • The certification confirms that your risk assessment, labelling, and technical file are in order (and can be provided to authorities on request).

    Marketplace Compliance Support

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)?

The GPSR (Regulation (EU) 2023/988) is the EU’s safety law for non-food consumer products. It clarifies responsibilities across the supply chain and strengthens cooperation with market authorities, assigning clear accountability to economic operators. It sets uniform safety standards across the EU and tightens product-compliance requirements.

Does GPSR apply to my products?

In most cases yes. GPSR is the default safety law for consumer products placed on the EU market when no sector-specific legislation applies. If your product falls under a dedicated regime (e.g. personal protective equipment or medical devices), that regime takes precedence. If there is any doubt, contact us to confirm the correct route and scope before work begins.

What documents are required for GPSR compliance?

The central document is the product risk assessment with a structured approach to evaluating product safety risks and how they are mitigated. The technical file holds product description and photos, product identification, labels and user instructions, risk analysis and mitigations, applied legislation and harmonised standards, test reports and SDS, bill of materials, packaging and marking information, Declaration of Conformity, economic operator details, and traceability records. Compliant labelling with warnings and age grading, and user instructions is required as well.

What is an EU Responsible Person and do I need one?

If you are not established in the EU, you must appoint an EU Responsible Person (RP). The RP’s name and address appear on the product or packaging. The RP holds your compliance documentation and makes it available to authorities, answers market-surveillance requests, and helps coordinate corrective actions if needed. Records are kept for at least 10 years after the last unit is placed on the market. EaseCert acts as your EU Responsible Person as part of the certification package - the RP mandate is included. We provide an official EU address in Germany, host your documentation, handle authority communications, and cover certified products for their lifetime.

How long does the certification process usually take?

Most projects are completed in 3 to 5 business days after we receive the required materials. We group similar SKUs to increase efficiency, confirm scope and timing up front, and operate on a one-time fee with no subscriptions. 

What happens if I don’t comply with GPSR?

Platforms can remove listings, customs can block shipments, and market authorities may require corrective actions or product recalls. There is also liability exposure and potential penalties. You may face fines and the operational hit of relabelling, rework, and lost sales. EaseCert helps you prevent this by building a complete, compliant technical file upfront, aligning labelling and instructions, providing EU Responsible Person coverage, and running proactive checks so your documentation stays audit-ready.
