EU Responsible Person Service One-Time Fees for GPSR Compliance
The one-time fees for an EU Responsible Person (RP) service under GPSR compliance depend on your product type, associated risk level, and whether it’s combined with other services like risk assessments or technical documentation. Appointing an EU Responsible Person is a legal requirement under the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 for all non-EU sellers placing consumer products on the EU market.
At EaseCert | GPSR Compliance, we offer a fixed, transparent one-time fee structure (no subscriptions, no renewals, no hidden charges).
- €400 EUR – for lower-risk consumer goods (clothing, home décor, textiles, and accessories)
- €500 EUR – for higher-risk or regulated products (electronics, toys, beauty, and personal care)
Each Responsible Person service includes:
- Acting as your EU Responsible Person (RP) and official compliance contact in the EU
- Issuing your GPSR Certificate of Compliance for EU listings and platforms like Etsy or Amazon
- Creating a product-specific risk assessment in line with Article 9 of the GPSR
- Reviewing labels and packaging for GPSR and EU labelling requirements
- Maintaining traceability and technical documentation (technical file) required by EU authorities
Why a Responsible Person Is Required Under GPSR
Under the EU General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988, all non-EU manufacturers and sellers must appoint an EU-based Responsible Person (RP) to legally sell consumer products in the EU. The Responsible Person ensures full product safety compliance, holds documentation, and serves as the official contact for market surveillance authorities. Their name and address must appear on the product label or packaging to confirm legal accountability.
One-Time Fees, No Renewals or Hidden Charges
EaseCert offers a one-time fee per product category with no annual or recurring payments. Our pricing is specifically designed for small and mid-sized businesses selling on Amazon EU, Etsy, or Shopify, ensuring affordable GPSR compliance without long-term commitments.
What Determines the One-Time Fees for a Responsible Person?
The one-time fees for an EU Responsible Person depend on:
- Product category (e.g., electronics, toys, textiles, or home goods)
- Product risk level and the need for testing or additional documentation
- Whether it’s a standalone RP service or bundled with full GPSR certification support

Frequently Asked Questions About the EU Responsible Person (RP) Service
What does an EU Responsible Person do under the GPSR?
The EU Responsible Person acts as your legal representative and compliance contact within the EU. They maintain your technical documentation, ensure your product meets General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 requirements, and communicate with market surveillance authorities in case of inspection or recall.
Is appointing an EU Responsible Person mandatory?
Yes. Under the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988, every non-EU manufacturer or seller must appoint a Responsible Person based in the EU before selling to European consumers. This requirement ensures traceability, accountability, and product safety across the EU market.
Can EaseCert act as my EU Responsible Person?
Yes. EaseCert can officially act as your EU Responsible Person and manage all compliance communication on your behalf. We also provide a dedicated EU Safety Gate Registration Service for online sellers to register through the EU Safety Gate Online Marketplace Module.
What happens if I don’t appoint an EU Responsible Person?
Without a Responsible Person, your products can be removed from online platforms, stopped at customs, or recalled through the EU Safety Gate system. Non-compliance can also result in penalties under the upcoming EU Product Liability Directive.
How long does the Responsible Person registration take?
EaseCert typically completes the Responsible Person appointment within 2–3 business days once all required documentation and product details are submitted. This includes label verification and registration in our Responsible Person database.
Are there ongoing obligations after registering with EaseCert?
Yes. You must inform your Responsible Person of any product changes, design updates, or safety incidents. EaseCert continuously monitors regulatory updates to the EU Safety Gate and EU Product Liability Directive to keep your compliance up to date.
