Toys Digital Product Passport — GPSR & Toy Safety Regulation Compliance.
How to comply with EU General Product Safety Regulation and the Toy Safety Regulation revision. AI extracts chemical substance data, safety test results, and traceability information from your existing technical files.
25 months to TSR digital passport deadline
Two EU regulations — one compliance platform
In force now
GPSR — Regulation (EU) 2023/988
General Product Safety Regulation. In force since January 13, 2024. Requires economic operators to maintain full product traceability, digital product documentation, and rapid recall capability for all consumer products including toys.
Coming 2028
TSR — Toy Safety Regulation revision
The revised Toy Safety Regulation introduces formal Digital Product Passport requirements — extending ESPR principles to toys. Chemical substance thresholds tighten and traceability obligations become explicit.
At a glance
Toys placed on the EU market face product information obligations under both GPSR (Regulation 2023/988) and the ongoing Toy Safety Regulation revision. GPSR requires toys manufacturers to maintain a product information file, provide traceability data, and meet economic operator identification obligations — in force from 13 December 2024. The ESPR will add a full Digital Product Passport for toys under a future delegated act, expected as part of the 2026–2030 working plan.
- GPSR (Regulation 2023/988) applies to all toys from 13 December 2024.
- GPSR requires a product information file, traceability data, and economic operator IDs.
- Toy Safety Regulation revision is underway — chemical safety rules will tighten.
- ESPR will add a mandatory DPP for toys under a future delegated act.
- Full toy DPP obligations under ESPR anticipated from 2028–2030.
What toy manufacturers need to document
Chemical safety data
REACH SVHC substances, migration limits, phthalate levels, heavy metal content — all from EN 71 test reports.
Technical file & CE marking
CE declaration of conformity, test standard references, authorised representative details, and age suitability.
Supply chain traceability
Manufacturer, importer, distributor chain with contact details — required for GPSR rapid recall and market surveillance response.
Material composition
Plastics, textiles, coatings, electronic components — by type and percentage. Required for both TSR DPP and substance declarations.
How the AI engine handles toy compliance
Upload your EN 71 test reports, CE declarations, REACH substance assessments, and supplier material declarations. AI extracts every required field automatically.
Chemical migration limits, substance thresholds, and supply chain data update as each document is processed. If there is a recall, every traceability data point is already in one place.
For your compliance team
First GPSR-compliant digital product record with your existing technical file documentation.
Free plan covers 10 digital product passport outputs per month.
Full supply chain traceability means market surveillance responses in hours, not weeks.
Actively monitored: We track every GPSR guidance update and TSR revision from the European Commission. The platform adapts as toy safety requirements evolve — you do not need to monitor regulation changes yourself.
When a component supplier submits chemical test data for one toy manufacturer, it pre-populates for every other brand using the same component. Compliance efficiency compounds across the network.
GPSR requires rapid recall capability. Traceable keeps your entire traceability record live and accessible — so market surveillance authority requests take minutes, not days.
Toys are one product category. The same AI engine handles ESPR requirements for textiles, electronics, furniture, and building materials. One platform covers your entire product portfolio.
Toys DPP & GPSR — Common Questions
No. GPSR (Regulation 2023/988) is a horizontal product safety regulation that applies to all non-food consumer products not covered by sector-specific safety legislation. Toys are already covered by the Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC, which takes precedence for toy-specific safety requirements. However, GPSR adds new obligations on top — including product information files, economic operator identification, and online marketplace traceability — that toys manufacturers must meet from 13 December 2024.
Under GPSR Article 9, manufacturers must maintain a product information file that demonstrates their product is safe. For toys, this file must include: a product description and photos, a risk assessment, test reports (conformity with Toy Safety Directive standards), information on supply chain, and evidence of any corrective actions taken. The file must be kept for 10 years after the last product is placed on the market and provided to market surveillance authorities on request.
GPSR requires toys to carry a product identifier (such as a type, batch, or serial number), the manufacturer's name and contact address, and an EU responsible person identifier. Online listings must include product identifiers and safety warnings. Traceable stores all GPSR traceability fields as structured data so they can be surfaced in both QR-code product records and online marketplace listings via API.
GPSR (Regulation 2023/988) became directly applicable on 13 December 2024, replacing the 2001 General Product Safety Directive. All toys placed on the EU market from that date must comply with GPSR obligations — product information files, traceability identifiers, economic operator registration, and online marketplace compliance. There is no grace period for new obligations that GPSR introduced beyond what the Toy Safety Directive already required.
Yes. GPSR and ESPR are separate regulations with different purposes and timelines. GPSR (already in force) covers product safety and traceability. ESPR 2024/1781 will add environmental sustainability requirements — including a mandatory Digital Product Passport — for toys under a future delegated act, expected as part of the 2026–2030 working plan. Toys manufacturers will ultimately need to comply with both frameworks.
