GPSR and its implications for online stores: a simple solution, by TPOP

What is GPSR?

The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), adopted by the European Union in May 2023, aims to guarantee the safety of products placed on the European market. It imposes strict obligations on manufacturers, distributors and retailers, to ensure that products comply with safety standards and are accompanied by the information needed for their traceability and maintenance.

The GPSR came into force on December 13, 2024.

The related obligations apply to all products destined for consumers within the EU, whether manufactured locally or imported. Online businesses are not exempt; they too must comply with these requirements, ensuring that products sold via digital platforms meet the same safety standards. 

It is important to note that the GPSR applies primarily to companies operating within the European Union. However, companies located outside the EU that sell products to European consumers via online channels must also comply with these regulations. This ensures that all products available on the European market meet the same safety standards, regardless of their origin. 

The GPSR creates an increased accountability obligation for online stores, which must comply with specific requirements such as:

  • Product traceability: clearly indicating the origin of items and providing information on their supply chain.
  • Safety instructions: include specific warnings for product use.
  • Certifications and compliance: present documents attesting that products comply with current standards.
  • Care instructions: information on how to care for items to extend their life.

For e-tailers, these obligations represent a real challenge, as they require rigorous monitoring and considerable administrative management. And that's where TPOP comes in 💪

The implications of RSPG for online stores

For an online store, complying with the GPSR can be perilous if it doesn't have the right tools. Here are some of the main challenges:

  1. Constantly updated product information: regulations evolve, suppliers change, and information needs to be constantly updated.
  2. Risk of sanctions: In the event of non-compliance, retailers risk fines, or even bans on selling certain products.
  3. Time-consuming management: Gathering and presenting the required information is time-consuming, especially for those managing a varied product catalog.
  4. Lack of transparency: Customers expect clear, accessible information. A non-compliant store risks losing their trust.

These challenges are amplified for online stores, which have to manually add this information to every product sheet, on every platform where they are present.
