What “generator” means in practice
GPSRCheck is not a template repository and not an AI content generator. It is a structured form that maps each required GPSR element to an input field and produces a PDF that respects the regulation’s document structure. You provide the product-specific data. The tool provides the structure and the regulatory references.
Product identification
Enter the product name, SKU, category, materials, dimensions, manufacturer details.
Intended use and foreseeable misuse
Describe how the product is meant to be used and what a reasonable user might do wrong with it. This section is guided by prompts — the hardest part for founders new to risk analysis.
Hazard identification
The tool presents a checklist of common hazard categories (mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, choking, suffocation, flammability, allergen) and you select the ones applicable to your product, with severity and likelihood per hazard.
Mitigation measures
For each identified hazard, describe how it is addressed in the product design or in the user-facing warnings.
Declaration and label
The Declaration of Conformity and the printable label are generated automatically from the data you entered, with the EU Responsible Person placeholder that you later fill in with your Responsible Person provider’s details.
The output is a single PDF. No email sent, no account created, no data stored on our servers.
Who GPSRCheck is built for and who it is not built for
These product categories and business types
Private label founders selling consumer products on Amazon EU, Shopify stores shipping to the EU, indie brands with wholesale relationships in Europe. Categories include homeware, ceramics, leather goods, stationery, pet supplies, apparel, bags, fashion accessories, wooden furniture, and most non-harmonised consumer goods.
These require additional specialist engagement
Children’s toys under EN 71 that need lab testing, medical devices under MDR, PPE under the PPE Regulation, machinery under the Machinery Directive, products with significant RF emissions that need EMC lab testing. For these categories the technical file is only one component of a broader compliance package.
If you are not sure whether your product category qualifies, the free diagnostic at solidwaretools.com/gpsrcheck/checker walks through the question in 2 minutes.
What’s in the 6-page PDF
Product identification and traceability
Manufacturer name and address, EU Responsible Person placeholder, SKU, batch reference, product category.
Product description, intended use and foreseeable misuse scenarios
How the product is designed to be used, and what a reasonable user might do with it outside that scope.
Article 9 internal risk analysis
Hazard identification, likelihood and severity assessment, mitigation measures, residual risk statement.
EU Declaration of Conformity
Signed template referencing Regulation (EU) 2023/988 and any additional applicable directives (LVD, EMC, RoHS, toy safety, etc. as applicable).
Printable product label

Every page is generated locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers. The file is yours the moment you close the tab.
The technical file and the EU Responsible Person: two separate things
The GPSR has two distinct compliance layers for non-EU sellers, and vendors in this market often bundle them into one expensive annual contract. They don’t have to be bundled.
The technical file
The documented internal risk analysis, the EU Declaration of Conformity, the product label with traceability data. This is the document Amazon Seller Central asks you to upload. GPSRCheck generates it in 10 minutes for €49 per SKU. One license per SKU. The PDF you download is yours permanently and does not expire. The license lets you regenerate the file up to 10 times within 30 days from first activation to correct details.
The EU Responsible Person
Every non-EU manufacturer must appoint an EU-established economic operator as regulatory contact — a service, not a document. Typical pricing €150 to €300 per year. You can pick any provider and combine it with your GPSRCheck files. The PDF you download is yours to keep and is not tied to any Responsible Person contract.
The industry standard is to bundle both layers into a single annual subscription of €199 to €2,000, which means you cannot leave the vendor without losing access to your own documentation. We decouple the two on purpose: you own the document, you pick the Responsible Person separately, and if you ever change provider, your files travel with you.
Enforcement reality — the timeline that built this market
Amazon started suspending EU listings without a valid EU Responsible Person — eight months before the GPSR’s official entry into force. Amazon moved ahead of the regulator.
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 entered into force across all 27 EU member states plus Northern Ireland. Every non-food consumer product placed on the EU market must have a documented Article 9 internal risk analysis and an EU Responsible Person under Article 16.
When a market surveillance authority in any EU member state issues a reasoned request for the technical file, the economic operator has ten days to provide it. Missing this window is treated as a presumption of non-compliance and triggers listing removal, cargo detention or sales ban.
Member states are implementing national penalty regimes. Germany additionally imposes criminal penalties of up to one year of imprisonment. France allows proportional fines up to 10% of annual turnover. Italy, Spain, Netherlands and Poland have enacted comparable ranges.
Products flagged as non-compliant are listed publicly, by brand and model. Inclusion is permanent and searchable — the reputational damage outlasts any fine.
Customs may detain shipments without valid GPSR documentation, accruing daily storage costs until documentation is produced or the shipment is returned.
