The Amazon General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) ensures that all products sold on Amazon in the UK and EU markets comply with the General Product Safety Regulation, which mandates that products must be safe for consumer use. Key points include:
Key Requirements
Product Safety:
Products must meet applicable safety standards and avoid risks to consumers under normal or reasonably foreseeable use.
Labelling and Documentation:
Include clear and accurate safety warnings, usage instructions, and compliance labels (e.g., CE marking where required).
Maintain a technical file demonstrating compliance (e.g., test reports, risk assessments).
Traceability:
Identify manufacturers and importers on the product or packaging.
Include a contact address for accountability.
Monitoring and Incident Reporting:
Monitor safety post-market and report serious risks or non-compliance to authorities.
Implement a corrective action plan (e.g., recalls) if safety issues arise.
Amazon Requirements
Proof of Compliance: Sellers may be required to provide safety documentation, including test certificates and declarations of conformity.
Listing Accuracy: Product listings must align with safety standards and include appropriate warnings.
Enforcement: Non-compliant products may face removal, account suspension, or legal consequences.
For sellers, understanding and adhering to GPSR is essential to avoid penalties and ensure product availability on Amazon.
