GPSR compliance tool

Regulation (EU) 2023/988 · European Union · Binding instrument

Name anyone on your staff. The system makes them your compliance person.

A member of your own staff, with no compliance background, reads the training module, answers the interview, and finishes with your GPSR documentation cited article by article. The knowledge stays in the business.

Every account level runs inside a dedicated Claude account. Anyone can try a toolkit in their own Claude account; compliance work runs in a dedicated one. The Claude Max plan is £90 a month, paid to Anthropic, and is not included in any level.

When does GPSR apply from, and what are the deadlines?

What does GPSR require me to do?

You must make products safe, carry out risk analysis, prepare and retain technical documentation, mark and label products, give consumer information, report accidents, notify dangerous products through the Safety Business Gateway, handle recalls and remedies, keep complaint registers, cooperate with authorities and keep traceability records. These duties sit in Articles 5, 9 to 16, 19 to 20, 22 and 35 to 37.

Article 44(1) requires each Member State to lay down penalties for infringements that are effective, proportionate and dissuasive (Recital 97).

Market surveillance authorities also hold the powers in Articles 10 to 24 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 (Article 23(1)).
