What GPSRCheck is
GPSRCheck helps sellers spot obvious gaps in seller information and product-safety details commonly expected before listing consumer products for sale into the EU. It is designed as a directional readiness tool, not as legal, regulatory, testing, or product-compliance review.
Who it is for
- Marketplace sellers offering products to EU consumers
- Small brands and resellers preparing or reviewing listings
- Operators doing a first-pass internal readiness check before publishing a product
It is not a substitute for legal, regulatory, testing, or product-compliance review.
What GPSRCheck evaluates
- Whether the product is intended for EU consumer sale
- Whether seller or business identity details are available
- Whether manufacturer details are available
- Whether an EU Responsible Person is identified when relevant
- Whether product identification details are available
- Whether warnings, safety information, or instructions are available when relevant
- Whether traceability or supporting information appears to be present
The tool is intended to highlight whether key information appears present, missing, unclear, or likely needing manual follow-up.
What GPSRCheck does not evaluate
- It does not certify GPSR compliance
- It does not provide legal advice
- It does not confirm a product is safe
- It does not replace testing, technical documentation, lab checks, or legal review
- It does not guarantee that a marketplace will accept a listing
- It does not determine compliance with all EU rules beyond the limited questions shown in the tool
- It does not verify your claims against external databases or authorities in this browser-only version
A good result means your answers suggest better baseline readiness. It does not mean the product or listing is legally approved.
Before you start
You should ideally have the following information ready:
- Seller legal or business name
- Seller contact details
- Manufacturer name and contact details
- EU Responsible Person details, if applicable
- Product name, model, SKU, EAN/UPC, or other identifying information
- Product warnings, safety notes, and instructions
- Marketplace listing text or packaging details you plan to use
If you do not know an answer, do not guess just to get a better result. Mark the answer as unknown or incomplete.
How to answer the questions
- Answer based on evidence you have now, not what you plan to add later
- If something is only partially available, choose the option that reflects that uncertainty
- If a question does not apply, use the most accurate not-applicable option if shown
- If you are unsure whether a field applies, treat the result as a prompt to review the item manually
- Do not treat this as a pass/fail exam; the goal is to identify gaps early
How to interpret results
Likely OK
Your answers suggest the basic seller-readiness information is mostly present.
- Review each item once more for accuracy
- Make sure the live listing and packaging match the information you relied on
- Keep supporting records available internally
- If the product is higher risk or unclear, still seek specialist review
Needs attention
Some important information appears missing, inconsistent, or unclear.
- Identify the flagged items
- Collect or correct the missing seller, manufacturer, product, or safety details
- Rerun the tool after updates
- Avoid relying on the current result as evidence of readiness
Unknown
The tool cannot give a meaningful directional result from the answers provided.
- Replace guessed or unknown answers with verified information where possible
- Review whether the product, seller role, or supply-chain setup is more complex than a quick browser check can handle
- Use manual compliance review for unresolved questions
Escalate for review
The answers suggest major baseline gaps, unresolved responsibility issues, or a risk mix that should not be waved through casually.
- Pause listing or review plans until the missing items are resolved
- Gather the missing documentation and responsible-party details
- Review warnings, instructions, and traceability information carefully
- Escalate internally or to legal/compliance support where needed
Frequently asked questions
Does GPSRCheck tell me if my product is compliant?
No. It gives only a baseline readiness indication based on your answers.
Is this legal advice?
No. GPSRCheck is an informational screening tool, not legal advice.
Does a good result mean I can safely list the product?
Not by itself. A good result only suggests fewer obvious information gaps based on what you entered.
Can GPSRCheck verify my documents or seller identity?
No. This live version is browser-only and does not perform external verification.
What if my product category has special rules?
Those rules may fall outside the scope of this tool. Use category-specific compliance review where relevant.
Should I guess if I do not know an answer?
No. Unknown or incomplete answers are more useful than guessed answers.
Privacy basics
GPSRCheck should ask only for the information needed to generate the readiness result. In this implementation, answers are processed only in the browser and are not sent to a server by the tool logic.
- Enter only information relevant to the check
- Avoid pasting unnecessary personal data
- Do not assume the tool stores data permanently unless the live site says so
- Review the privacy page for the exact handling of submitted information
