GPSR Compliance Best Practices

Quick Checklist

Ensure all required fields for manufacturers, responsible persons, and importers are filled in.

Products from manufacturers outside the EU often require an EU-established responsible person.

No responsible person for imports from China	Assign an EU-based responsible person for all non-EU products
Widget only in English	Provide safety warnings in the target market language
Outdated contact data	Review and update entity data regularly
No traceability	Maintain batch or serial numbers for all products
Documents not linked	Link declaration of conformity and manuals as PDFs
