GPSR product listing readiness
GPSR Digital Products Scope Guide
Use a cautious scope checklist for digital downloads, connected products, embedded software, and products supplied with a service.
Direct answerDo not classify every digital download as automatically covered or exempt; document the product, delivery model, software connection, and target market first.
What this page is for
Product compliance outputs, not a certificate.
Etsy, Shopify, course, template, software, and connected-product sellers trying to decide which EU product-safety workflow applies.
The listing label 'digital product' is not enough to determine GPSR scope, and different EU rules may apply to products, software, digital content, or services.
This is a compliance workflow, risk discovery, and evidence management tool. It is not legal advice, not a legal certification, and manual review is required.
What the workspace generates
Open beta report outputs
- Directional unresolved-evidence score and structured findings
- Manufacturer and EU responsible person gaps
- Traceability fields: model, batch, serial, SKU, GTIN, EAN
- Safety warning and instruction evidence checks
- Supplier request email and no-login upload link
- Label draft, warning drafts, Shopify/Etsy fields, Evidence Pack zip
Evidence-based guidance
What can be stated safely, and what still needs verification.
Supported statements
- The GPSR defines a product broadly as an item supplied or made available, including in the context of providing a service.
- The Regulation explicitly discusses digitally connected products, embedded software, software updates, and digital modifications that can affect product safety.
- Those provisions do not justify a blanket claim that every standalone PDF, template, course, or download is either covered or exempt.
Manual decision checklist
- Is a physical consumer product supplied, enabled, controlled, or modified by the digital item?
- Is software embedded in or connected to a consumer product, and can updates affect safety?
- Is the offer targeted at EU consumers through shipping, language, currency, domain, or other market signals?
- Which product-specific, digital-content, consumer, accessibility, or national rules also need review?

Worked example
Connected-product scope screen
Illustrative input: A seller offers downloadable control software bundled with a physical connected consumer product.
Resulting artifact
The scope worksheet records facts and questions for a qualified reviewer instead of issuing a blanket classification.
Decision boundary: The label 'digital product' alone is not enough to decide whether GPSR applies or does not apply.
This is a fictional workflow example, not a customer result, legal opinion, product-safety decision, or accessibility conformance claim.
