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.

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.

EU GPSR Product Labeling Guide: Sizes, Symbols, Warnings & Languages

Product Identifier: Type, batch, lot, or serial number.
Manufacturer Details: Legal trade name and physical postal address + single point of electronic contact (website or email).
EU Responsible Person Details: Legal name and physical postal address + electronic contact (for non-EU sellers).
Mandatory Warnings in Local Language: Warnings must be provided in the official language of every EU member state where the product is sold (e.g., German in Germany/Austria, French in France/Belgium).
CE Mark (if applicable under CE directives): At least 5mm in height.

Label Dimensions & Print Specs

Standard sizes supported by thermal and offset printers: 3x4 cm, 4x6 cm, or A4.
Resolution: Minimum 300 DPI to ensure barcodes and small text remain scannable and legible.

GPSRPilot Label Studio generates ready-to-print 300 DPI PDF and PNG labels formatted to these exact statutory standards.
