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.

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.
