What is GPSR?
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a crucial piece of European Union legislation aimed at ensuring that all products placed on the EU market are safe for consumers. GPSR establishes safety requirements that manufacturers, importers, and distributors must follow to prevent risks to health and safety.
As of 2024, Amazon requires sellers to appoint an EU Responsible Person for certain product categories to comply with GPSR standards.
Qualifying Products
Products included under GPSR rules typically cover most non-food consumer goods such as electronics, toys, household items, and other non-specialized products. These items must meet strict safety criteria to be sold in the EU and Northern Ireland (though not England, Scotland, or Wales).
Product categories excluded from GPSR legistation:
-
Food and feed
-
Cosmetics
-
Medical devices: Human and veterinary medicines (pharmaceuticals)
-
Tobacco and related products (e.g., e-cigarettes, heated tobacco)
-
Motor vehicles (and many automotive components)
-
Aircraft, boats, and other transport that require dedicated regulation
-
Pesticides, biocides, and other products regulated by chemical legislation
What Do You Need to Do?
If you sell products on Amazon in the EU and Northern Ireland, you must:
-
Ensure your products meet all applicable EU safety standards under the GPSR.
-
Appoint an EU Responsible Person for the products covered by GPSR requirements.
-
Add the name and address of your appointed Responsible Person to the product’s labeling.
Failure to comply with GPSR requirements could result in your products being removed from Amazon’s platform or facing legal penalties.
