GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation) Compliance

GPSR is based on ensuring that non-food consumer products placed on the EU market are safe and covers a wide range of actors from manufacturers, importers, distributors, authorized representatives, fulfillment service providers to online marketplace providers. As Pier Compliance, we approach GPSR compliance not as "one-time document preparation" but together with product safety management system + technical file discipline + market surveillance scenarios.

Under GPSR, companies typically need to be prepared in the following areas: • Product safety risk assessment (foreseeable use/misuse, target user groups, etc.) • Technical documentation and auditable records (product description, design/manufacturing control, test/evidence set) • Traceability and supply chain transparency (batch/lot management, supplier verification) • Warnings, usage instructions, label/packaging safety information • Corrective action, withdrawal/recall plan and consumer information flows • Online sales and marketplace processes (marketplace obligations, content/listing safety, complaint and action mechanisms)

GPSR aims to strengthen product safety in online sales channels along with e-commerce growth; therefore, special obligations for online marketplace providers and expectations for rapid response to authority requests come to the fore. In addition, the Safety Gate ecosystem (including consumer information and business notification processes) gains importance in product safety notification and communication.

As Pier Compliance, we manage your GPSR project end-to-end with the following work packages: 1) GPSR Gap Analysis and Roadmap • Product group-based scope analysis (which products/which risks) • Gap analysis of existing documentation according to GPSR expectations • Quick compliance plan: "minimum suitable set" + "mature compliance set" 2) Product Safety Risk Assessment • Risk scenarios (use/misuse, age groups, sensitive users) • Control measures: design/manufacturing/packaging/warning texts 3) Technical File and Evidence Set Setup • Technical file index structure (audit-ready) • Positioning of tests/certificates/reports (if available) • Traceability and supplier record structure 4) Label–Instruction–Warning Text Compliance • Consistent safety communication on product, packaging and e-commerce pages • Multilingual content management (for EU markets) 5) Corrective Action / Recall Readiness • Internal procedures, decision matrix, communication templates • "Ready package" documentation to respond to possible authority requests 6) Online Sales & Marketplace Compliance Support • Listing content / product page checklists • Correction and record structure suitable for marketplace workflow
