Intermediate2h 10m # EU GPSR Compliance Course for Product Sellers EU GPSR compliance for hardware and electronics sellers: scope, the general safety requirement, risk assessment, the responsible person and traceability. A single missing sentence — no responsible person named, no EU contact address — is enough for a marketplace to suspend a fully CE-marked, fully tested electronics listing today, not eventually. That's the ordinary, recurring way hardware sellers actually lose EU market access under the General Product Safety Regulation: not through an unsafe product, but through a documentation and disclosure gap nobody separately checked, because compliance effort went entirely toward CE marking and GPSR sat as a completely separate legal layer nobody addressed. This course teaches Regulation (EU) 2023/988 from first principles to complete practical compliance: the legal framework that replaced the 2001 Product Safety Directive, exactly how to scope a product as harmonized, non-harmonized, or both, the general safety requirement and a full six-category risk assessment methodology, every economic operator role from manufacturer to fulfilment service provider, the responsible person requirement and how it differs from the related Market Surveillance Regulation contact role, technical documentation and the Declaration of Conformity, traceability, labelling and translated warnings, and the online marketplace and direct-to-consumer listing requirements that are where most electronics sellers actually meet this regulation day to day. From there, the course covers accident and incident reporting through the Safety Business Gateway, market surveillance, Safety Gate, recalls and consumer remedies, penalties and enforcement across member states, how GPSR and harmonized electronics legislation like the Radio Equipment Directive, EMC Directive, and Low Voltage Directive apply together on the same product, cybersecurity essential requirements for connected devices, and a dedicated look at common hardware product categories, business models, and how GPSR compares to UK and US product safety regimes. Every module ends with a knowledge check, and the closing stretch walks two contrasting case studies and a complete worked compliance file for a WiFi-enabled smart plug end to end, addresses the practical edge cases sellers ask about most, and turns everything you've learned into your own sequenced compliance action plan and an onboarding checklist for every future product launch. Common failure patterns — assuming CE marking is enough, shipping English-only safety information across every EU market, treating compliance as a one-time launch task — are covered as they occur throughout the course, not just listed once at the end. Built on Krono's regulatory database and current 2026 guidance on marketplace enforcement practices, the interplay between GPSR and harmonized electronics legislation, and the Radio Equipment Directive's cybersecurity essential requirements.
