Success Story: Canadian Company Thrives in the EU Market with AF Pharma’s GPSR Services
In today's competitive marketplace, expanding internationally can be a daunting task for any business. This was the case for a Canadian manufacturer of innovative consumer electronics seeking to sell its products in the EU via Amazon. To navigate the complexities of the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) and ensure compliance with EU regulations, they turned to AF Pharma for our EU Representative services.
The Challenge
The company had already established a successful business in Canada, but entering the EU market posed significant challenges. They needed to comply with GPSR, which mandates that non-EU manufacturers appoint an EU Responsible Person to handle regulatory obligations. This was particularly important for their planned sales on Amazon, which requires strict adherence to product safety standards for listings.
The Solution
By partnering with AF Pharma as their EU Representative, the Canadian company was able to meet all the regulatory requirements set forth by the GPSR. Our team guided them through the process of appointing a Responsible Person based in the EU, who took charge of:
Documentation Management: Ensuring that all necessary compliance documentation was prepared and available for regulatory inspections.
Risk Assessment: Actively monitoring product safety and promptly addressing any issues that could arise.
Effective Communication: Acting as a liaison with EU market surveillance authorities, the RP facilitated quick responses to inquiries and compliance checks.
Additionally, AF Pharma helped them optimize their product listings on Amazon by providing the required information about product safety, labeling, and customer support, ensuring full compliance with Amazon's policies and EU regulations
