EU Responsible Person service providers, authorised representatives, and regulatory compliance firms managing Article 16 obligations for non-EU manufacturers of consumer products — furniture, household goods, toys, textiles, electronics, childcare articles. Regulation (EU) 2023/988 requires that every product placed on the EU market has an economic operator established in the Union (Article 16) who regularly checks technical documentation compliance (Article 16(2)) and provides documented evidence upon request by market surveillance authorities. Drafting each technical file in Word does not scale beyond 20 clients. GPSRCheck Professional Pack: 70 licenses, €999 one payment. 8 PDF documents per product. Generated in the browser in 20 minutes.

Every non-EU manufacturer placing consumer products on the EU market needs an economic operator established in the Union responsible for Article 16 tasks — including regular verification of technical documentation. EU Responsible Person service providers managing 40, 50, or 60+ manufacturers cannot draft each technical file manually and remain competitive. The firm that automates documentation keeps margins while scaling the client portfolio.
The GPSRCheck Professional Pack is built for professionals who manage Article 16 obligations and GPSR technical documentation for multiple non-EU manufacturers.
Three inputs. Four answers. No signup required.
Each license generates a complete GPSR technical documentation package. Every document references the specific article of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 it covers. The manufacturer does not need to access the tool — the responsible person enters the data and delivers the finished package.
Systematic evaluation against Article 6 criteria: product characteristics, foreseeable use, categories of consumers, vulnerable users, cybersecurity features where relevant.
General description of the product and its essential characteristics relevant for assessing safety. Internal risk analysis structure and methodology.
Analysis of possible risks and the solutions adopted to eliminate or mitigate them. Article 9(2)(a). European standards applied, if any (Article 7).
Type, batch or serial number (Article 9(5)). Manufacturer name, trade name, postal and electronic address (Article 9(6)). Responsible person details (Article 16(3)).
Clear instructions and safety information in the language determined by the Member State. Article 9(7). Warnings, age suitability, disposal guidance.
Article 16 compliance. Economic operator established in the Union. Name, registered trade name or trademark, contact details. Regular compliance check documentation per Article 16(2).
Article 19 compliance for products sold online or through distance channels. Manufacturer identification, responsible person, product identification with picture, warnings.
Pre-structured template for Article 20 obligations. Notification to competent authorities through the Safety Business Gateway in the event of a product-related accident.

Article 9(2) technical documentation requires a general description of the product, an internal risk analysis with solutions adopted, and — where risks are identified — detailed analysis mapping to the regulation. Each file in Word takes 4 hours. At 50+ products per year, that is 200+ hours of senior compliance time spent on document formatting instead of advisory work. The bottleneck is not expertise — it is production capacity.
Article 16(2) requires the responsible person to regularly check that the product complies with Article 9(2) technical documentation and provide documented evidence upon request by market surveillance authorities. Junior staff working from blank Word templates produce inconsistent output — missing Article 9(5) product identification, incomplete risk analysis under Article 9(2)(a), or absent Article 16(3) responsible person details. Each error is a liability for the firm and for the represented brand.
EU Responsible Person services compete in a market where clients compare prices across providers. At €150–€250 per technical file, the firm that takes 4 hours per dossier earns €37–€62 per hour before overhead. The firm that takes 20 minutes per dossier earns €450–€750 per hour of tool time. The price to the client stays the same — the margin changes entirely based on operational efficiency.
8 PDF documents per product. Product safety assessment, internal risk analysis, manufacturer and responsible person identification, instructions and safety information, distance sales compliance, accident notification template. Generated from the data entered in 20 minutes. Article-by-article traceability to Regulation (EU) 2023/988.
Laboratory testing, physical product inspection, factory compliance audits, EU Responsible Person contract management, customs liaison, market surveillance authority communications. These are the core services of the EU RP firm. GPSRCheck documents the technical file — it does not provide the responsible person service itself.
GPSRCheck structures and documents. The EU RP firm advises, represents, and ensures ongoing compliance. The two layers complement each other — and together form a scalable responsible person service.
Consequences under Regulation (EU) 2023/988 and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. This is the argument for the conversation with the manufacturer who questions whether GPSR documentation is necessary.
Article 16(1). A product covered by the General Product Safety Regulation shall not be placed on the market unless there is an economic operator established in the Union responsible for the tasks set out in Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020.
Article 16(2). The responsible person shall, upon request by market surveillance authorities, provide documented evidence of the compliance checks performed — including verification of Article 9(2) technical documentation.
Article 44(2). Each Member State defines its own penalty framework for infringements of the regulation. Non-compliance with Article 16 obligations falls within scope.
Your represented manufacturers face these consequences. You provide the documentation that prevents them — and build a scalable service on the Article 16 obligation.

GPSRCheck generates a structured documentation package according to Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 from the information the user enters. The accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of that information is the responsibility of the manufacturer — or of the responsible person who enters data on their behalf.
We guarantee that the document structure follows Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 and that the legal references cited are correct as of the last verification date. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a market surveillance authority or by a commercial buyer in a procurement process.
