What is the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)?

The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is an EU regulation that strengthens safety requirements for consumer products and replaces the previous General Product Safety Directive (GPSD).
It applies to products that are not covered by sector-specific regulations and introduces enhanced obligations related to:
  • Product safety
  • Risk assessment
  • Traceability
  • Documentation
  • Market surveillance
  • Online and distance selling
The regulation is particularly relevant for businesses selling products through e-commerce platforms, as it introduces new requirements for product information, traceability, and accountability.

Who is Affected by GPSR?

GPSR applies to multiple economic operators involved in the supply chain, including:
  • Manufacturers
  • Importers
  • Distributors
  • Online marketplace sellers
  • Fulfilment service providers
Each of these parties has defined responsibilities related to product safety and compliance.
Businesses selling directly to consumers in the EU—especially through online channels—must ensure that products meet GPSR requirements before being placed on the market.

The GPSR introduces several important compliance requirements that businesses must address.
