About GPSR Compliance: Compliance Checklist

Achieving compliance with the EU General Product Safety Regulation is one of the most pressing obligations for any company placing consumer products on the EU market. Because GPSR already applies, delays in closing compliance gaps carry immediate regulatory and reputational risk.

The GPSR compliance landscape is evolving fast, but not all approaches are built equally. Many companies treat product safety as a documentation exercise without integrating it into day to day business operations – creating manual effort, accountability gaps, and risks that scale badly as product portfolios and supply chains grow. GPSR compliance is not a paperwork task: it requires clearly defined roles, ongoing risk assessment, and seamless embedding into existing product development, procurement, and supply chain workflows.

This compact checklist covers the ten critical dimensions of a well founded GPSR compliance program: scope and role determination, the general safety requirement, risk assessment and documentation, technical documentation, product identification and traceability, labelling and consumer information, importer specific obligations, distributor specific obligations, post market monitoring, and cooperation with authorities.

It highlights the most common gaps companies overlook and explains how getting GPSR right becomes the foundation for broader product compliance readiness – relevant for sector specific legislation, evolving EU market surveillance requirements, and future reporting obligations.

Use this checklist as your evaluation framework to build a compliance program that goes beyond short term fixes. If you want to see how a dedicated solution supports you across all ten dimensions, explore the osapiens HUB for Product Compliance.
