What Is a GPSR Technical File?

A GPSR technical file contains the technical documentation used to demonstrate the safety of a consumer product placed on the EU market.

Under Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2023/988, manufacturers must prepare technical documentation before placing a product on the market. It must contain at least a general product description and the essential characteristics relevant to assessing its safety.

What Should a GPSR Technical File Include?

Depending on the product and its risks, the technical documentation should include relevant product information, safety characteristics, an internal risk analysis, measures taken to eliminate or reduce identified risks, applicable standards and supporting test reports.

The documentation must be kept up to date and retained for 10 years after the product has been placed on the market.

Who Can Use This GPSR Technical File Template?

The template is intended for manufacturers preparing technical documentation for non-food consumer products covered by the GPSR.

It provides a structure that you can complete with the information and supporting evidence applicable to your specific product. The template itself does not demonstrate that a product is compliant.
