EU GPSR (Regulation (EU) 2023/988, in application since 13 December 2024) introduced updated product listing information requirements for many consumer products sold on Amazon Germany. This checklist summarises the key information fields sellers commonly need to prepare, and identifies where localization QA matters for the German-language copy.

Background: What Is EU GPSR?
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (the General Product Safety Regulation) entered into application on 13 December 2024, replacing the previous General Product Safety Directive. Among other changes, it introduced clearer requirements for the product information that must be visible on marketplace listings — including those on Amazon Germany — for many consumer products. Sellers who localise listings from English into German need to review both the regulatory requirements and the quality of the German-language output.
GPSR Listing Information Checklist
The following table lists the information fields that sellers commonly need to prepare for Amazon DE product listings in relation to EU GPSR requirements. Copy it as a working reference when preparing or reviewing your listings.
EU GPSR requires these fields for many consumer products; the precise scope depends on product category and applicable product-specific legislation. "Sellers commonly need to prepare" reflects typical marketplace practice, not a legal determination.
| Field | What to include |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer name | The name of the manufacturer or, where the manufacturer is not established in the EU, the importer or authorised representative. Sellers commonly need to prepare the full legal name as it appears on the product or packaging. |
| Manufacturer postal address | A single postal address at which the manufacturer (or EU contact) can be reached. EU GPSR requires a point of contact; a P.O. box alone is generally not sufficient. This must appear in the listing information, not only on the physical product. |
| EU Responsible Person (name+address) | For products imported from outside the EU, sellers commonly need to prepare the name and postal address of their EU Responsible Person — an entity within the EU who can be contacted about product safety. Review whether your product category requires one. |
| Safety warnings & pictograms | Any safety warnings, caution statements, or pictograms required by applicable product-specific legislation or labelling rules. These must be in German for Amazon DE listings and must not be omitted or softened during localization. |
| Product identifiers | Batch numbers, serial numbers, type references, or other product identifiers that allow the product to be traced. These must survive localization unchanged — a batch number or model reference must not be altered when the listing is translated from English to German. |
| Language & localization QA | All required information above must appear in German for Amazon DE. Localization must preserve technical identifiers, unit values, and safety statements exactly. Use the free checker for banned words, title length, required attributes, and model/number/unit preservation. |
Where Localization QA Matters for GPSR Information
When translating product listings from English to German, two classes of localization errors are particularly relevant to the fields above.
Hard-fact corruption
Model numbers, batch identifiers, unit values (e.g. 500 ml, 230 V), and product reference codes must be preserved exactly. A translation step that converts "AB-1200" to "AB-1.200" or drops a unit has introduced a factual error. ListLoco's quality gate checks that every technical identifier in the English source appears unchanged in the German output.
Safety warning drift
Safety warnings that are required attributes for a product category must be present in the German listing and must not be weakened or omitted. If a required attribute is missing from the German output, ListLoco's required-attribute gate flags it before the listing is submitted.
Use the free Amazon DE Listing Checker to run banned word, title length, required attribute, and model/number/unit checks on individual listings — no API key required.
What ListLoco Covers (and Does Not Cover)
ListLoco is a localization quality gate API, not a regulatory compliance service. Its scope in relation to GPSR listing information is:
- Applying your defined required attribute rules: If you configure your ListLoco rules to require manufacturer name, Responsible Person address, or safety warning fields, the required-attribute gate will flag listings that are missing those fields.
- Preserving model numbers, units, and identifiers during en→de localization: The preservation gate checks that technical identifiers from the English source appear unchanged in the German output.
- Out of scope: ListLoco does not determine which regulations apply to your product, does not review the accuracy of the information you provide, and does not assess regulatory compliance. Those determinations require legal and product-specific expertise.
Run this checklist at scale
If you localise many listings, checking each one manually is not scalable. The ListLoco API lets you apply required-attribute rules and preservation checks across a catalogue via a single POST request per listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What product listing information does EU GPSR require on Amazon Germany?
- EU GPSR (Regulation (EU) 2023/988) requires that product listings for many consumer products include the manufacturer name and postal address, the EU Responsible Person name and address for products imported from outside the EU, safety warnings and pictograms, and product identifiers such as batch or serial numbers. These requirements apply to the listing information displayed to buyers on Amazon Germany.
- What is an EU Responsible Person under GPSR and do I need one for Amazon DE?
- An EU Responsible Person is an entity based within the European Union who can be contacted about product safety. Under EU GPSR, sellers of products imported from outside the EU commonly need to prepare the name and postal address of their EU Responsible Person as part of the product listing information for Amazon DE. The exact requirement depends on the product type and origin, and sellers should review the official regulation for their specific situation.
- How does localization QA affect GPSR listing information on Amazon DE?
- When translating product listings from English to German, model numbers, unit measurements, and safety-related identifiers must be preserved exactly and not altered by the translation process. ListLoco's quality gate checks that model numbers, units, and required attribute values survive the en-to-de localization step without corruption, helping to prevent a class of listing information issues caused by translation-introduced changes to hard facts.
- When did EU GPSR requirements begin applying to Amazon DE listings?
- EU GPSR (Regulation (EU) 2023/988) entered into application on 13 December 2024. From that date, Amazon EU began enforcing updated listing information requirements for many consumer products. Sellers with products that were already listed should review whether their existing listings include all required GPSR information fields.
