Trade associations, industry federations, and chambers of commerce representing importers, wholesalers, and manufacturers of consumer products. Regulation (EU) 2023/988 requires technical documentation (Article 9(2)), a responsible person in the EU (Article 16), and product identification enabling traceability (Article 9(5)) for every consumer product on the EU market. Members call the association for guidance. The association that offers a self-service documentation tool retains members who would otherwise leave or outsource to individual consultancies. GPSRCheck Professional Pack: 70 licenses, €999 one payment. Distribute to members or generate on their behalf. 8 PDF documents per product. 20 minutes per dossier.

The General Product Safety Regulation applies from 13 December 2024 to every consumer product on the EU market. Associations with member companies that import, manufacture, or distribute consumer products face a volume of GPSR queries that generic guidance documents cannot resolve. Members need documentation, not information. The association that offers a practical tool — not just a webinar — becomes the compliance partner that justifies the membership fee.
The GPSRCheck Professional Pack is built for organisations that serve multiple member companies needing GPSR documentation for consumer products on the EU market.
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. Members enter their own product data — the tool guides them step by step. No regulatory expertise required.
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).
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 responsible for the product. Contact details, regular compliance checks, documented evidence.
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.

Members who pay €400–€800 per product to an external consultancy start to question the value of the membership fee. The association that only refers — instead of offering a practical tool — positions itself as an intermediary, not a partner. The consultancy that solves the problem captures the member's loyalty.
A 20-page PDF guide explaining Regulation (EU) 2023/988 does not produce Article 9(2) technical documentation. Members who read the guide still cannot generate the structured technical file, the risk analysis, or the responsible person declaration. They need a tool that turns their product data into compliant documentation — not another explanation of why compliance matters.
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 generates more member queries than any other recent regulation. Members who face EU market access barriers — customs holds, marketplace compliance warnings, buyer due diligence requests — and receive no practical tool from their association will look elsewhere. Some stop exporting. Some leave the association. The cost of inaction is measured in lost members.
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. Self-service: members enter their own data in 20 minutes. No training, no onboarding calls, no IT integration.
Laboratory testing, physical product inspection, legal interpretation, lobbying, standards development, trade policy advocacy. These are the association's core activities. GPSRCheck handles the documentation layer so the association's compliance team can focus on advisory, representation, and sector-specific guidance.
GPSRCheck structures and documents. The association advises, advocates, and represents. The two layers complement each other — and together justify the membership fee.
Consequences under Regulation (EU) 2023/988 and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. This is the argument for the board meeting where someone asks whether investing in a compliance tool for members is worth €999.
Article 23, referencing Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. Market surveillance authorities can order withdrawal, recall, or destruction of non-compliant products.
Recitals 61–62. Products from third countries must comply with the General Product Safety Regulation before customs clearance. Members importing from outside the EU face border controls.
Article 44(2). Each Member State defines its own penalty framework. Members operating across multiple EU countries face different enforcement regimes.
These consequences affect your members individually. The association that provides the tool to prevent them demonstrates practical value — not just representation.
| Option | Cost to the association | Member experience | Scalability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refer to external consultancies | Free — but members pay €400–€800 each | Slow, expensive, association irrelevant | Unlimited but uncontrolled |
| Hire in-house compliance staff | €40,000–€60,000/year salary | Good, but bottleneck at scale | Limited by headcount |
| Enterprise SaaS platform | €8,000–€20,000/year + IT project | Professional, requires onboarding | High, but complex setup |
| GPSRCheck Professional Pack | €999 (one payment) | Self-service, 20 min, no training | 70 dossiers, members self-serve |
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 member company that enters data.
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.
