Grüner Baum GmbH · EU GPSR

EU Responsible Person services from Oppenheim

Grüner Baum GmbH operates eugpsr.de, a specialist service site dedicated to compliance with the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). The company positions itself as a Germany-based EU Responsible Person for manufacturers established outside the European Union, taking on the economic operator role that covered products require before they are placed on the EU market. Its name, postal address and electronic address must also appear in distance-sale offers.

The firm states that it is a registered service provider in the Amazon Solution Provider Network (SPN) and that it works in Turkish, German, English and Chinese. It cites Regulation (EU) 2023/988 as the legal basis for its work and describes its approach as aligned with ISO principles.

Compliance workflow and documentation

The service is organised as a single product-level workflow that runs from scope definition through risk analysis, technical documentation, labels, online offers and ongoing Responsible Person support. Within that framework the company offers several distinct services:

• EU Responsible Person: appointment of Grüner Baum GmbH as the EU contact for an agreed product scope.
• EU Authorised Representative: a written GPSR mandate for manufacturers whose product route requires an authorised representative rather than a Responsible Person.
• Required documents: preparation of the technical file, labels, warnings and traceability evidence.
• Risk analysis: identification of product risks and the evidence required before EU market entry.
• Label compliance check and a GPSR checklist and software, listed among the company's services.

Optional add-ons mentioned in the enquiry form include a formal technical documentation audit with a written gap report, 24-hour expedited onboarding, additional authority communication support, and recall or Safety Gate support.

Selling into Europe through marketplaces

The company publishes guidance for non-EU sellers on the steps required to sell consumer products in the EU: a safe product, a responsible business established in the EU, labels carrying the required details and complete safety information in every online listing. It notes that VAT, customs and producer-responsibility registration are separate tasks handled with the authorities or qualified advisers.

Specific guidance addresses selling on Amazon Europe and Etsy Europe. For Amazon, the company points to the manufacturer, Responsible Person and safety fields shown for each affected offer; for Etsy, to entering the economic operator in Shop Manager and completing the product safety fields on each affected listing. Separate pages cover Shopify and eBay.

Packages and annual fees

The pricing structure is built around one mandate and one annual fee, with a core compliance review included. The catalogue at the time of writing listed four tiers:

• Starter: €249 per year, one accepted low-risk product family.
• Business: €549 per year, up to five accepted low-risk product families.
• Growth: €949 per year, up to twenty accepted low-risk product families.
• Enterprise: from €1,650 per year, for more than twenty product families, multiple brands or a wide product catalogue.

Each accepted family allows unlimited SKUs within it. The company describes these as annual fees for the mandate.

Safety Gate response commitments

Grüner Baum GmbH sets out an operational response timeline for Critical Safety Gate alerts, which it presents explicitly as service commitments to customers rather than statutory reporting deadlines. The sequence is: immediate prioritisation of a direct critical match, review and verification of the alert within two hours, notification of the manufacturer by email and phone within four hours, and preparation of a corrective-action plan with the manufacturer within 72 hours. The company notes that the applicable legal duty and deadline are assessed separately for each incident, economic operator and product.
