Standard Guidance

Reach EU_GPSR_2023 readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

EU Regulation 2023/988 (General Product Safety Regulation — GPSR) replaces the General Product Safety Directive 2001/95/EC from December 2024. Imposes safety + traceability + recall obligations on producers, importers, distributors + online marketplaces. Internal Production Control + risk assessment required. Mandatory online product safety information + corrective action public notifications. Companion: Market Surveillance Regulation 2019/1020 + product-specific safety laws. Quick Policy maps EU_GPSR_2023 into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.

Why EU_GPSR_2023 matters for your operating model

EU_GPSR_2023 doesn't just dictate document templates — it shapes which controls auditors test, what evidence they ask for, and which gaps surface first during diligence. Getting it wrong creates renewal slippage, audit findings, and stalled customer deals.

  • Issued by EU Commission and primarily enforced in EU.
  • Directly shapes policy families including Product Compliance, Consumer Protection — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Obligation model: Mandatory In Scope — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.

How Quick Policy helps you stand up EU_GPSR_2023

The platform turns EU_GPSR_2023 from a PDF of requirements into a live operating model — policies, training, evidence, and audit-export packs that update in lock-step when the standard or your business changes.

  • Adopt EU_GPSR_2023 once and Quick Policy seeds the right policy families (Product Compliance, Consumer Protection) with applicability rationale your auditor can follow.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
