GPSR: EU Countries Covered, Requirements, and Compliance Support
The General Product Safety Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/988) ensures that only safe consumer products are placed on the market in the European Union and European Economic Area. It applies to all sales channels, including online marketplaces, and requires manufacturers and sellers worldwide to meet strict safety, documentation, labeling, and traceability standards if targeting EU consumers.
Where does GPSR apply?
GPSR applies in the following countries:
- EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.
- EEA Countries: Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein.
While Switzerland and the United Kingdom are outside this scope, separate national product safety rules apply there and must be respected by businesses targeting those markets.
