This guide compares six providers identified during our research in one of the leading search engines for queries related to EU GPSR Responsible Person cost. We selected them because they publish enough information about pricing and scope to compare how each service model works. This is not a ranking and it does not attempt to include every provider available.
The information is based exclusively on what each company publishes on its website and on our interpretation of those terms. We have not contacted the providers to verify the information individually. Prices and service details were checked in September 2026 and may change.
The comparison focuses on Responsible Person services for consumer products subject to the GPSR. A product that is also subject to specific sectoral legislation may require additional obligations and a different service.
There is no standard price for appointing an EU Responsible Person under the GPSR. Providers use very different pricing models: one-time fees, annual retainers, monthly subscriptions, or prices calculated per product, product family, product type or SKU. Services with apparently similar prices may also include very different levels of documentation work.
What to compare besides the price
The initial or annual fee alone is not enough to compare two Responsible Person services.
The first thing to check is the unit each provider uses to calculate the price. One provider may charge per SKU, another per product, another per product family and another per company. Even with identical catalogues, the final cost can differ substantially depending on the definition used.
You should also review:
- Pricing unit. Product, product family, product type, SKU and company are not the same thing.
- Minimum packages. A plan covering “up to 5 families” may cost the same whether you use one family or all five.
- Risk assessment. Check whether the provider prepares it, reviews it or only provides a template.
- Technical documentation. Creating it is not the same as providing a structure for the customer to complete or simply storing it.
- Labelling and instructions. Check whether warnings, safety information and instructions are actually reviewed.
- Product documentation. Some services prepare product-specific documentation while others rely mainly on information supplied by the manufacturer.
- Authority support. Check what assistance is provided if a market surveillance authority requests documents or information.
- Service model. A consultancy with human review, a self-service platform and a subscription-based service may offer very different levels of work.
Before appointing a provider, compare not only the price but also exactly what is included and how the fee is calculated. The aim is to identify the model that best fits your catalogue, documentation needs and required level of support.
EU Responsible Person cost
Below we review six providers using the same criteria: published price, how the fee is calculated, service model, stated turnaround time and the main items included.
When we state that something is not clearly specified, it only means that we could not confirm it from the public information reviewed. It does not necessarily mean that the provider cannot offer it.
EaseCert
Published price: between €400 and €500 as a one-time fee, depending on the product category. EaseCert also publishes a one-time €50 setup and documentation fee per order on its page aimed at sellers established outside the EU. It does not use an annual renewal fee or recurring subscription for this service.
How pricing is calculated: the price depends on the category and the level of risk or complexity of the product. EaseCert publishes €400 for certain consumer-product categories it treats as lower risk and €500 for categories it classifies as higher risk or more regulated.
This means the fee is not determined simply by the number of SKUs. Two catalogues with a similar number of references may have different prices if they belong to different categories.
Service model: compliance service with human support.
Published turnaround time: normally 3 to 5 business days once all required information has been received.
What is included:
- EU Responsible Person appointment
- Authority support
- Document custody or maintenance
- Specific product sheet: not clearly stated as a separate document
- Risk assessment
- Technical documentation
- Compliance document issued by the provider
- Review of labelling, packaging and safety information
The published scope includes risk assessment, technical documentation, labelling review and acting as a contact point for authorities, so the service is not limited to providing an EU address.
EaseCert also markets services for categories subject to specific sectoral legislation. In those cases, a GPSR Responsible Person service does not replace other regulatory obligations that may apply to the product.
EU Compliance Partner
Published price: from €500 per year for low-risk product ranges and catalogues with a limited number of categories. This is an entry-level company fee rather than a fixed fee per SKU. The final price depends on catalogue size and complexity.
How pricing is calculated: EU Compliance Partner reviews the catalogue and product characteristics before determining the final price.
The €500 figure should therefore be read as a published starting price rather than a universal fee for any company or catalogue.
Service model: compliance consultancy with human support and an ecommerce focus.
Published turnaround time: the provider states that the certificate, EU address and guide can be supplied on the same day as payment. The product assessment may take up to 2 business days.
What is included:
- EU Responsible Person appointment
- Authority support
- Document custody or coordination
- Specific product sheet: not clearly stated
- Full preparation of the risk assessment: not clearly stated
- Technical file through a template followed by review
- Responsible Person appointment certificate
- Labelling and packaging guide/review
The provider supplies a structured technical-file template for the customer to complete. It then reviews the documentation and identifies potential gaps.
This is not necessarily the same as a consultant preparing the entire technical file from scratch. When comparing prices, it is useful to distinguish between creating the documentation, supplying a template and reviewing documentation already prepared by the customer.
GPSR Solutions
Published price: €500/year or €50/month for 1 to 3 product types.
The next published annual tiers are:
- 4-10 product types: €1,000/year
- 11-20 product types: €2,500/year
- 21-50 product types: €5,000/year
Additional product types are published at €150/year or €15/month.
How pricing is calculated: by number of product types, rather than directly by SKU.
The first tier covers between one and three product types. A catalogue with one product type therefore falls into the same tier as a catalogue with three.
This package structure matters when assessing the effective cost of a small catalogue. The tier price is not automatically divided according to the number of positions actually used.
Service model: subscription-based compliance service.
Published turnaround time: no general activation time is clearly stated in the public information reviewed.
What is included:
- EU Responsible Person appointment
- Market-surveillance authority support
- Document maintenance
- Descriptive product and supplier information
- Risk assessment
- Technical documentation
- Declarations and compliance documentation
- Review of labelling, warnings and instructions
GPSR Solutions publishes a relatively broad documentation scope within the service.
It also states that, if an authority contacts the company about a represented product, it handles the initial response and communication. If the case requires additional technical or legal work, that work may be quoted separately.
In addition to the subscription fee, it is therefore worth checking which activities are covered by the recurring service and which may generate an additional quotation.
EUVerify
Published price: the Starter plan costs £490 per year for up to 5 product families, Growth £790 per year for up to 20, Scale £1,490 per year for up to 50 and Pro £1,890 per year for up to 100. Starter and Growth include representation in either the EU or the UK, while Scale and Pro include both.
How pricing is calculated: by product family, rather than directly by SKU. EUVerify allows variants to be grouped when they share the relevant product characteristics, meaning that several commercial references may fall within the same family.
The model works in blocks: the Starter plan remains £490 even if the catalogue uses only one family instead of all five available.
Service model: compliance platform combining representation, product management and guided tools for preparing and maintaining regulatory documentation.
The platform includes a GPSR Technical File Builder, a guided risk-assessment workflow, tools for declarations of conformity, document storage and product-information management. The system also helps identify regulatory requirements based on the information entered.
Published turnaround time: Responsible Person or Authorised Representative appointment advertised within 24 hours.
What is included:
- Responsible Person or Authorised Representative appointment
- Support and communication with market surveillance authorities
- Document storage for 10 years
- Specific product sheet as a separate document: not clearly stated
- Risk assessment through a guided workflow or template
- Tools for creating and managing the technical file
- Tools for declarations of conformity
- Assistance with reviewing labelling, warnings and safety information
EUVerify expressly states that it handles communications with market surveillance authorities, provides requested documentation and supports the process. It also states that it assists with reviewing labelling and safety information.
It is nevertheless useful to distinguish between using a platform that guides the user through building the risk assessment and technical file and hiring a service in which a consultant manually drafts all documentation from scratch. EUVerify clearly publishes the tools and workflows included, so these functions form part of the service even though the working model differs from a traditional consultancy.
Eldris
Published price: £195 initial fee, plus a monthly subscription according to the number of SKUs. The entry tier is £19.95 per month for up to 20 SKUs, giving a cost of £434.40 in the first year and £239.40 per year thereafter. For this comparison, we consider the Responsible Person service for the EU market; the UK is a separate market within Eldris's published structure.
How pricing is calculated: it combines an initial fee with a recurring charge based on the number of SKUs in the account.
The first tier covers up to 20 SKUs, so a catalogue with fewer references remains within the same subscription level.
Service model: self-service compliance platform.
This differs from a traditional consultancy: a significant part of the process is managed through the platform and onboarding workflow.
Published turnaround time: appointment certificate advertised in under 60 minutes once onboarding is complete.
What is included:
- Responsible Person appointment
- Authority support and communication
- Document storage
- Specific product sheet: not clearly stated
- Product-specific risk assessment: not clearly stated
- Full GPSR technical-file creation: not clearly stated
- Appointment certificate
- Detailed labelling and instructions review: not clearly stated
The published service allows the appointment process to be completed quickly and centralises product documentation and management through a platform. The monthly fee covers, among other published elements, ongoing document custody and liaison with authorities.
Items that are not clearly described as part of the basic package may be available under other services or conditions. This comparison reflects only the scope that could be identified from the published information.
Conformity Point
Published price: €99 per product or family in the first year and €59 per product or family per year for subsequent renewals. Volume discounts are available for larger catalogues.
How pricing is calculated: the fee is charged per product or family without requiring a minimum package, so the service can be used for one, two or any other number of products. From the first renewal onward, the fee per product or family is lower. Several SKUs may be grouped within the same family when they retain the same intended use, function, main materials and risk profile, with a maximum of up to 10 SKUs per family.
Service model: specialist product compliance consultancy with human review of the documentation.
Published turnaround time: initial catalogue review and identification of the applicable plan within 24 hours.
That timeframe refers to the initial catalogue review and identification of the applicable service, not necessarily to completion of the entire documentation and appointment process.
What is included:
- Formal appointment as EU Responsible Person
- Support with market-surveillance authorities
- Storage and availability of documentation
- Product sheet
- Risk assessment
- GPSR technical documentation
- GPSR Compliance Statement prepared for signature
- Guidance on labelling and instructions, including warnings, intended use and limitations
This service is intended for consumer products within the scope of the GPSR. If the product is subject to specific sectoral legislation that provides for different obligations or a different representation role, it must be assessed whether an EU Authorised Representative service or another category-specific regulatory service is required.
Why the annual price alone is not enough
Two prices can only be compared properly when they use an equivalent pricing unit and cover a similar scope of work.
A price per SKU is not directly comparable with a price per product family. Nor is a company-level fee equivalent to a plan that charges individually for each product.
Minimum packages also affect the effective cost. A service covering up to five families for a fixed fee may cost the same even if the customer uses only one.
The other major difference is the documentation work.
Depending on the provider, the service may include:
- preparation of the risk assessment;
- a risk-assessment template for the customer to complete;
- preparation of technical documentation;
- review of existing documentation;
- document storage;
- labelling review;
- review of warnings and instructions;
- initial or ongoing authority support.
Before comparing two quotations, check exactly which part of the work is performed by the provider and which part must be prepared by the manufacturer.
You should also review which activities may generate additional costs once the service has started.
GPSR Responsible Person and EU Authorised Representative are not exactly the same
Article 16 of the GPSR requires an economic operator established in the EU to be responsible for certain tasks for products within the Regulation's scope.
Depending on the supply chain, that function may be performed by the EU-established manufacturer, the importer, an Authorised Representative with an appropriate written mandate or, in certain circumstances, a fulfilment service provider.
An Authorised Representative is a specific legal role appointed through a written mandate to perform defined tasks on behalf of the manufacturer.
For many consumer products that are not subject to sector-specific EU harmonisation legislation, a company established outside the EU may be looking for a GPSR Responsible Person service.
However, products such as toys, electrical equipment, radio or Bluetooth devices, machinery and other categories subject to specific legislation require an additional regulatory assessment.
This does not mean that every CE-marked product automatically requires an Authorised Representative. The need and scope depend on the applicable legislation, the product and the structure of the economic operators involved.
For a dedicated explanation of this distinction, see our guide on GPSR Responsible Person vs Authorised Representative.
