Your Responsibilities Under the GPSR
As of 13th December 2024, the EU’s General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) imposes new compliance requirements and obligations on any seller (you) offering products within the EU or Northern Ireland. Under the regulation, you are considered the Manufacturer if you’re selling products under your own name or brand.
Key Action Points:
Identify a Responsible Person or Authorised Representative:
You must list the name and contact details of a Responsible Person within the EU or NI. This can be yourself (if based in the EU/NI) or a designated representative.
We are exploring solutions to simplify this process for you, but you should appoint a representative immediately if you intend to sell in these regions. There are a number of providers offering this service online.
Update Your Online Product Listings:
Your product listings must include:
The Manufacturer/Responsible Person’s name and address
Detailed product information (model, type, and any required safety or compliance details)
Warranty information (meeting the standard 2-year EU warranty requirement)
Detailed product information can be sourced from the product page on Inkthreadable.co.uk.
You can also opt to include it when publishing products to your integrated store.
If certain details are not yet visible whilst we update our listings, please check back later or contact our support team.
Ensure Compliance for Marketplace Listings:
Many online marketplaces (e.g., Etsy) may enforce these requirements and could suspend your listings if they lack the required safety and compliance information. Make sure you’ve updated all of your listings accordingly.
Warranty Obligations:
By law, a 2-year EU warranty must be clearly visible and communicated to the end customer. This warranty does not affect Inkthreadable’s terms of sale to you but must be communicated through your product listings.
Products supplied by Inkthreadable and shipped to the EU or NI are GPSR-compliant. We are actively updating our product listings to include all necessary compliance details to help you meet your obligations. If you have difficulty finding the required information, our support team is here to help.
