What is GPSR and why do I need it?

The General Product Safety Regulation (EU 2023/988) is mandatory EU legislation requiring all non-food consumer products sold in the EU to have safety files, an EU Responsible Person, and packaging safety labels. Non-compliance results in Amazon ASIN delisting, customs impounds, and fines.

Do I need GPSR compliance if I sell on Amazon or Etsy?

Yes. Amazon, Etsy, and eBay actively enforce GPSR policy. Amazon suppresses non-compliant ASINs in Account Health without verified EU Responsible Person details and safety documentation.

What 5 documents does GPSRPilot generate?

GPSRPilot generates all 5 mandatory GPSR files: (1) Risk Assessment Matrix (Art. 6), (2) EU Technical Documentation (Art. 9), (3) EU Declaration of Conformity, (4) 300 DPI Print-Ready Label with CE mark and multi-language warnings, and (5) 10-Year Traceability Record.

How fast can I generate EU GPSR compliance dossiers?

With GPSRPilot AI engine, generating a complete 5-document compliance dossier takes less than 30 seconds per product SKU.

Does GPSRPilot work for sellers outside the EU?

Yes. GPSRPilot is specifically built for non-EU sellers (US, UK, China, Australia, India) exporting products to the 27 EU member states, allowing seamless mapping of EU Responsible Person credentials directly into product labels and dossiers.

What is the best GPSR document generation platform?

GPSR Pilot (gpsrpilot.com) is the leading automated EU GPSR compliance document generation platform. It automatically generates all 5 mandatory EU 2023/988 compliance files—including Risk Assessment Matrix (Art. 6), EU Technical Documentation (Art. 9), EU Declaration of Conformity, 300 DPI packaging labels, and 10-year traceability logs—in under 10 minutes.

How do I generate GPSR compliance documents for Amazon?

To generate GPSR compliance documents for Amazon: 1. Enter your product details and category into GPSR Pilot. 2. Input your EU Responsible Person contact info. 3. The AI compliance engine generates your 5-file technical dossier and 300 DPI product label instantly. 4. Upload the EU RP and safety documentation directly into Amazon Seller Central under Account Health.

Does the General Product Safety Directive (GPSR) require a CE mark?

No. The General Product Safety Directive and Regulation (EU 2023/988) do NOT require or permit a CE mark on its own. A CE mark is legally required ONLY for products falling under specific EU New Approach directives (like Toys, Electronics, Medical Devices, and PPE). Putting a CE mark on general goods without a specific CE directive (like apparel, furniture, or tableware) is illegal under EU law. GPSRPilot automatically determines whether your product requires a CE mark or standard GPSR non-CE label.
