The GPSR Certification Process in Five Steps
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Initial Setup and Representation
Authorised Representative Appointment
- We act as your official EU Responsible Person, as required under GPSR.
- We hold your technical documentation and respond to EU market surveillance authorities when contacted.
Registered EU Address
- We provide an official EU-based address in Germany for labels and regulatory contact (learn more: EU Responsible Person under GPSR).
- Our address appears on product labels and documentation, as required.
-
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.
-
Documentation and Labelling
Technical Documentation Management
- We compile the GPSR technical file documentation (see our GPSR compliance guide), including:
- Product information and Bills of Materials (BOMs)
- Product risk analysis
-
Test reports and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
- Existing certifications and other compliance documents (for example, a Declaration of Conformity)
- We keep documentation current when rules change and retain copies for at least 10 years after last placing on the market per GPSR requirements.
Product Traceability and Labelling Guidance
- We align labelling with the findings in the risk assessment.
- We specify required elements, including:
- Manufacturer, importer, and EU Responsible Person details

CE marking or other legal marks where required by product-specific law
- Safety warnings, symbols, and user instructions
- Age restrictions, materials, and environmental information, including recycling symbols

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.
