Free risk assessment template for GPSR compliance

If you sell consumer products in the EU, the new General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) affects you. Coming into force on 13 December 2024, the GPSR introduces stricter safety requirements – and one of the key obligations is to carry out a documented risk assessment for each product placed on the EU market.

To help businesses prepare, we’ve developed a free, easy-to-use risk assessment template specifically designed for GPSR compliance.

Under the GPSR, all economic operators – manufacturers, importers, and private label owners – must ensure that products are safe. Article 9 of the regulation explicitly requires a formal risk assessment that considers:

• The characteristics of the product
• How it is used (and misused)
• The risks it may pose to different groups, including vulnerable users
• The severity and likelihood of those risks
• Any available safety data, standards, and test results

Failing to provide a structured risk assessment can lead to fines, withdrawal from the market, or even a product recall.

Our free risk assessment template offers a simple, structured format to evaluate and document the risks associated with your product. It includes:

• Guidance on identifying relevant hazards
• Fields to assess risk likelihood and severity
• A matrix to determine overall risk levels
• Space to document safety measures and corrective actions
• Built-in alignment with GPSR requirements

Whether you are launching a new product or reviewing your technical documentation, this template helps ensure your risk assessment is both complete and compliant.

This GPSR risk assessment template is ideal for:

• Manufacturers and importers selling into the EU
• Private label brands and e-commerce sellers
• Compliance officers and quality assurance teams
• Start-ups launching consumer products

If you are required to comply with the GPSR, this template provides a strong foundation for your risk management process.
