US-based trade compliance consultants, export advisors, and international market entry firms. Your clients sell consumer products — furniture, home goods, toys, electronics, personal care — and since 2024 they ask about the EU General Product Safety Regulation. Article 13(1) is the provision most US firms miss: any person who places a product on the EU market under their own name or trademark has full manufacturer obligations under Article 9. That includes every American private label brand. GPSRCheck Professional Pack: 70 licenses, €999 one payment. Step-by-step guided tool — the regulation is built in. 8 PDF documents per product. 20 minutes per dossier.

The General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988 applies from 13 December 2024 to every consumer product on the EU market. US brands selling into the EU — through Amazon EU, EU distributors, or their own EU webshop — need Article 9(2) technical documentation, Article 16 responsible person designation, and product identification per Article 9(5). Your clients already trust you with FDA, FCC, and CPSC compliance. Adding GPSR to your practice is a revenue expansion into EU product safety — and GPSRCheck provides the regulatory framework so you do not need to become an EU regulatory expert.
The GPSRCheck Professional Pack is built for US-based professionals who advise clients on international trade and product compliance — and want to add EU product safety to their service offering.

When a client asks about EU product safety and the consultant says "you need a European firm for that," two things happen. First, the client finds a European provider who handles GPSR. Second, that provider offers to handle other international compliance too. The US firm that refers out loses not just the EU engagement — it loses the relationship. Adding GPSR to the existing practice keeps the client.
Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/988: any person who places a product on the market under their own name or trademark is considered a manufacturer and has all obligations under Article 9 — including technical documentation, risk analysis, product identification, and safety information. A US brand sourcing from China and selling under its own label on Amazon EU is a manufacturer under GPSR. Most US compliance firms miss this because FDA, FCC, and CPSC do not have an equivalent provision. The consultant who understands Article 13(1) captures every private label client.
CPSC product safety reports, FDA 510(k) submissions, and FCC declarations of conformity follow US regulatory frameworks. Regulation (EU) 2023/988 has its own structure: Article 9(2) technical documentation, Article 6 safety assessment criteria, Article 16 responsible person, Article 19 distance sales requirements. Using a US template for EU compliance produces documentation that does not map to the regulation and will not withstand market surveillance scrutiny. GPSRCheck provides the correct EU structure.
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. Step-by-step guided — each field references the relevant article. No EU regulatory expertise required.
Laboratory testing (CE marking, EN standards), providing the EU Responsible Person service (Article 16), legal interpretation of edge cases, customs brokerage, EU entity establishment. These are complementary services the US consultant can partner for — or add later. GPSRCheck handles the documentation layer.
GPSRCheck structures and documents. The consultant advises, coordinates, and bills. The two layers complement each other — and together form a complete EU market entry compliance service.
Consequences under Regulation (EU) 2023/988 and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. This is the argument for the conversation with the US client who asks whether EU compliance is really necessary.
Article 23, referencing Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. EU market surveillance authorities can order withdrawal, recall, or destruction of non-compliant products — regardless of where the manufacturer is based.
Article 22(4)(5). Market surveillance authorities can order online marketplaces to remove listings within two working days. Amazon enforces GPSR compliance with 48-hour warning deadlines.
Article 44(2). Each EU Member State defines its own penalty framework. Penalties apply to any economic operator — including non-EU manufacturers deemed under Article 13(1).
Your clients face these consequences. You offer them the documentation that prevents them — and build an EU compliance service that strengthens the existing relationship.

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 professional 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 an EU market surveillance authority or by a commercial buyer in a procurement process.
GPSRCheck is not legal advice. For specific situations, consult a qualified lawyer or regulatory consultancy with EU product safety expertise.
