GPSR Compliance Checklist: Preparedness in Item 13

Compliance with the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a critical step if you are considering offering products to the EU market. In this article, we present a comprehensive checklist of 13 articles that you can prepare in accordance with the requirements of §§GL1§ and §§GL0§. This list includes the documents, actions and persons responsible for ensuring the safety and compliance of your products with the law.

Why the GPSR Compatibility Checklist?

GPSR is a regulation that must be complied with by all manufacturers and distributors who supply products to European Union. §GL1§§§ makes it mandatory for manufacturers outside the EU to assign a Responsible Person (RP) while imposing a risk analysis obligation on manufacturers. In this context, creating a checklist to ensure compliance helps you to clearly identify the points to be addressed at each stage of the process.
