📋 Direct Answer

GPSR applies to ALL consumer products sold in the EU, except: (1) products already covered by sector-specific EU safety legislation (e.g. medical devices, food, chemicals), (2) second-hand products, (3) antiques, (4) products for personal use (not sold commercially). In practice, most physical products sold online to EU consumers are covered — electronics, toys, clothing, home goods, beauty tools, etc. The regulation became enforceable December 13, 2024.
