Product Families & Coverage
Understand how CompliSwift groups products for pricing and which categories can be considered for our EU Responsible Person service.
Our £90 annual plan covers up to five approved low-risk product families. Every application is subject to product and document review. Representation begins after approval and a signed appointment.
What is a GPSR product family?
For CompliSwift’s pricing, a product family groups products with similar intended use, materials, construction and safety characteristics. “Product family” is our commercial service grouping, not an official GPSR certification category or an exemption from product-level obligations.
Each relevant product model still needs appropriate documentation. We confirm the grouping after reviewing your products; a shared category or similar appearance does not automatically make products one family.
How we assess your product range
- Intended use and users: what the product does and who it is designed for.
- Materials and components: including coatings, fastenings and other relevant variations.
- Design and construction: how products are made and whether differences affect safety.
- Safety characteristics: the risks, supporting evidence, warnings and instructions relevant to each model.
Examples of product-family grouping
| Example | What we would review |
|---|---|
| The same adult fabric bag in several colours | May fit one family where materials, construction, intended use and safety characteristics remain comparable. |
| A bag with a different material, closure or intended user | Requires a fresh grouping assessment because the differences may change the safety profile. |
| Adult jewellery with different coatings or components | Material evidence and component differences need review; similar designs are not automatically one family. |
| A notebook and an unrelated home decoration | Would normally be assessed separately because their use, construction and potential risks differ. |
These examples illustrate our review approach; they are not advance approval of a product or grouping.
Products covered by our EU Responsible Person service
We consider selected low-risk, non-electrical consumer products within the categories below. A category listing does not mean every product in that category is accepted.
- Jewellery: selected adult jewellery and accessories.
- Apparel & Accessories: selected adult clothing and textile accessories.
- Bags: selected bags and similar accessories.
- Home & Lifestyle: selected non-electrical decorative and lifestyle items.
- Stationery: selected paper goods, notebooks and similar items.
Cosmetics, toys and electronics are excluded. Products outside the listed categories or with additional sector-specific requirements need an eligibility enquiry; do not assume they are covered.
What to send for an eligibility review
- Your shop or website link and the products you want to include.
- Product names, model references, photographs and descriptions.
- Materials, components, intended use and intended users.
- Details of variations between products.
- Available safety documentation, assessments, labels and relevant supporting evidence.
We may request more information before confirming acceptance and the number of product families. Do not enter passwords or payment-card details in your product documentation.
Product families and your annual plan
The £90 annual plan includes up to five approved low-risk product families—equivalent to £7.50 per month, billed annually. For a larger range, compare the allowances shown on our pricing page.
If you introduce a new model, material, construction or intended use, contact us before assuming it is covered by an existing appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Does one product family mean one SKU?
Not necessarily. A family may contain several comparable models or variations, but SKU count alone does not determine grouping. Relevant models still need suitable product records.
Can my entire Etsy shop count as one family?
Only if review confirms the products can appropriately be grouped together. A shop selling unrelated product types should not assume one-family coverage.
Is product testing or certification included automatically?
No. Product-family acceptance is not product certification. Any testing or specialist work must be confirmed separately in the agreed service scope.
When can I use the EU Responsible Person details?
After product and document approval and completion of the signed appointment. Use the approved contact details supplied for your qualifying EU-established representative.
