Hi Brian, The main point of the GPSR, is traceability of products across the whole Union. Your CE TCF will cover the requirements of Safety and EMC however there are a few onerous requirements...
1. There has to be a single point of contact or Authorised Representative within the Union where Market Surveillance authorities from every country can have access to your TCF if required. 2. All products should be labelled for traceability, i.e. Importer/Authorised Representative contact details, manufacturer contact details and these have to be in the language of each country your product is sold in. 3. All safety relevant documentation has to be multilingual. The Regulation is here... Publications Office<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32023R0988> Chapter III describes the Obligations of Economic Operators within the supply chain. Since this Regulation was announced there are companies who have set themselves up as Authorised Representatives for non-EU (third country) manufacturers, however if you have an EU Importer or Distributors, it probably makes sense and will be cheaper, to use them as your AR.

So, mostly this is a head's up to others that this is coming: General product safety regulation (2023) | EUR-Lex<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/general-product-safety-regulation-2023.html> Here's a quick rundown of my take after perhaps 15 min speed read and a video or two. This appears to be an effort to close the loops, gaps and exceptions that were allowed with current CE labelling and compliance. The labeling regs seem a little new to me, but I think anybody with a decent CE file that's been recorded by a solid EAR (EU Authorized Representative), is already covered. My firm has a good CE "TCF" file, and I've asked our EAR to confirm that we're already covered for GPSR. Here's my one question: is my quick take accurate?
